Porter from Ranau finishes UTMB ultra-trail in Chamonix
Daved Simpat, a 44-year-old Mount Kinabalu porter from Kampung Himbaan in Ranau, Sabah, completed the 174km Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc in Chamonix, France, in 28 hours 53 minutes and four seconds. He was the first of seven Malaysians to cross the finish line. He hopes his feat will inspire fellow porters and young Sabahans.
