Blow Pipe Run

 

 

The Borneo Blowpipe Run (BPR) is an approximately 1300KM endurance ride challenge from Kuching, Sarawak to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah or vice versa which needs to be completed within same calendar date in 24hours. Just like the Iron Butt ride, it can be exhausting and requires one to stay on focus especially attempting it in Borneo!

The Founder

BPR was founded by multi-talented proud Sarawakian, Alex Stmrock Wong in 2011. He is best known for his impressive accomplishments in various fields including 1998 world cup jet ski champion, motorcycling enthusiast and business entrepreneur. Alex first got the idea of BPR on his scooter tour from Kuching city to Tawau and he is also the first person to complete Blowpipe Run.

• Approximately 1300KM Ride within 24 hours.
• Bad roads conditions.
• Unpredictable weather conditions.
• 9 immigration checkpoints post with limited time.
• Limited Petrol/Gas stations.
• Getting lost.

The Blowpipe Run Rules & Regulation

1. A rider may start from Kuching to Kota Kinabalu or Kota Kinabalu to Kuching.
2. The ride must start and end at Cats Statue in Kuching or Marlin Statue in Kota Kinabalu.
3. Photo of the rider with their bike, taken at the start and at the end are required, as well as a few supplementary photos along the route, showing known landmarks or name signage and time when photos were taken. This serves to verify the run as well as allows friends and motorcycle enthusiasts to share the excitement and to coordinate a welcome at various points along the route.
4. The run must be completed within the same calendar date and not just within 24 hours. To further clarify, a run that crosses midnight will not be valid.
5. Any motorcycle/three-wheelers or trikes/car of any engine size may be used.
6. A passenger is not allowed, as it will enable splitting of tasks and time-saving, such as the payment for fuel and the purchase of refreshments by passenger whilst mechanical preparation is undertaken by the rider.
7. Riders are not encouraged to ride recklessly. Please exercise extreme caution and courtesy during the attempt.
8. Riders attempt data will be recorded on Facebook in the Borneo Motorcycle Group page.
9. Riders are advised to use Google Maps Location Sharing or Whatsapp Location Sharing so other group members & fellow riders can track & monitor your whereabouts.
10. With the effective year of 2016, for riders who declared/started as a group, they must finish it as a group. If one of them DNF or DNQ, all riders will also be considered as DNF or DNQ.
11. The rules for solo ride require 2 riders or more to depart 10mins apart. This is to ensure group assistance advantages are not accorded to solo riders.
12. The rules for group ride where 2 or more bikes are from different category shall be in accordance with the bike with the highest cc in the group. An example is given, 650cc & 125cc bikes will be considered as BPR Open, 500cc & 250cc bikes will be considered as BPR2.
