Wai Ching founded the Malaysian Tower Running Association with a mission to grow the sport and encourage people to enjoy the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
These days, Wai Ching defends his titles at international tower running competitions and recently stunned with 4 US tower run wins in 9 days putting him way ahead of the competition.
He has a Bachelor Degree in Sport Science (Major Exercise Science) from University of Malaya and when he is not competing in tower running, Wai Ching also participates in trail running events and road running competitions from 5km to half marathon.
