stoicccc Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I'm going for a 32km trail run in Angkor wat next weekend and need doctor's clearance for that. I went to a local hospital here in the countryside and they said I'd need a heart stress test for a doc to clear me. Costs 3500 baht something, so I'm not game for that having been a pro athlete before and last year did a couple of races over 20km. Is there a smooth way to get a doc to clear me for the run in BKK without having to run through the hoops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritManToo Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 It says you can just sign a waiver. http://www.ultratrail-angkor.com/en/information-for-participants-ultra-trail-dangkor-2017/ * In case of non-presentation of the medical certificate and to avoid being disqualified, the competitor agrees to sign a waiver and becomes solely responsible in case of physical problems that could sustain him in the race.

kkerry Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Michael Johnson... Being an experienced athlete is never a guarantee your heart is sound. Take a stress test, view it as a challenge, see how high you can get your METS score. For 3,500 bt, a reasonable price I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be there over that weekend, thought about joining the 16Km Temple run, but it all seemed a bit expensive. With the whopping price of the ticket to enter Ankor Wat, I probably won't even visit.
