Kota Kinabalu: Local fortified sports candy brand, Himalaya Salt Sports Candy, pushes boundaries with the “Trans Borneo 1600” solo charity run by veteran endurance runner, 43-year old Steven Ong, who crossed Malaysia’s two largest states and the sovereign state of Brunei.Starting off at the north western tip of Sarawak at Teluk Melano, known as “Mile Zero” of the Pan Borneo Highway, to the Tip of Borneo in Kudat, Sabah, the 1,600km crossing took Ong 21 days to complete.
Braving the scorching sun, rain, painful blisters and even an ankle injury, Ong pushed on to fulfil his dream to run across the world’s third largest island.
