Lee Grantham won the Doi Inthanon 50km in 2017 but wants to see if he can run faster when he has no competitors around him to race

Four years ago British runner Lee Grantham won the Doi Inthanon Ultra Mountain Marathon over 50km in 3:55:18. Now, on Monday (March 15), he will attempt to beat his time in a solo time trial.

The course goes up the highest mountain in Thailand and the event is so tough that when Grantham won in 2017 there were 250 runners who started and only 150 finishers.

Reading books, studying something interesting, taking pictures, listen to music and kissing girls is fine.

Getting married, raising kids and running many kilometers not so much. ????

Running many kilometres to chase & kiss a girl is fine.
