run 100km after iftar

Event details

🌙 What to expect during the run
First 30–40km (evening to midnight)

Feeling decent if well-hydrated and fueled at Iftar.

Cooler night temperatures (good for running).

Frequent hydration stops (water, electrolytes) – but you're not fasting anymore, so drinking is allowed.

40–70km (late night to early morning)

Fatigue sets in. Legs get heavy.

Mental challenge: running through 2–4 AM when body naturally wants sleep.

Need small, frequent meals (bananas, energy gels, light sandwiches) – similar to sahur but spread out.

70–100km (dawn to morning)

Extreme exhaustion. Risk of cramps, blisters, nausea.

Sunrise brings heat – dangerous if still running past 8–9 AM in Brunei's tropical climate.

Many would need support crew for pacing, first aid, and motivation.

⚠️ Major concerns
Health risks

Dehydration and heatstroke (Brunei humidity is high, even at night).

Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) after fasting all day + extreme exertion.

Muscle breakdown, kidney stress, heart strain.

Logistical issues

Where to run 100km in Brunei? Limited safe, well-lit, traffic-free routes.

Need aid stations every 5–10km with water, food, medical supplies.

Support vehicle or crew essential.

Ramadhan considerations

If you run past dawn (around 5:30 AM in Brunei), you'd be fasting again while still running – extremely dangerous and likely not permissible for health reasons.

Most sane ultramarathoners would start before dawn (during sahur) and finish after Iftar, not the other way around.
