There’s a certain magic to the mountains—a rhythm in the dirt, a lesson in every climb, and a fierce kind of joy that only trail runners truly understand. For Wendy Lim, it was love at first stride. The moment she stepped onto the trail, she knew she’d found her happy place.

“I fell in love with the trails at first sight,” Wendy shares. “There’s nothing like that feeling of being surrounded by nature, just you and the journey ahead.”

But Wendy isn’t just any runner—she’s one of the driving forces behind the Wind Runners community, proudly serving as a pacer for their trail division. Whether she’s guiding others through muddy climbs or chasing her own milestones, she runs with purpose and heart.

This year, Wendy is gearing up for Trail Titans Ulu Yam 2025, where she’ll be taking on the 14KM category with everything she’s got. Set to take place on 6 July 2025, this epic trail event promises elevation, exhilaration, and no shortage of soul-searching.

“I’m super excited… just slightly worried about too many slopes!” she laughs. Still, it’s those unpredictable inclines and terrain twists that keep her grounded and motivated. “Every trail race is different. Each one feels unique and unforgettable. That’s what makes it so meaningful.”

For Wendy, racing isn’t just a physical challenge—it’s a test of mindset, grit, and emotional resilience. “I just want to prove to myself that I’m stronger than I think. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too.”

When the going gets tough—and it will—she keeps it simple: “I remind myself to just keep going. I race to finish. That’s my why.”

It’s this no-nonsense determination, mixed with her infectious energy, that makes her such a respected figure in the trail scene. Through Wind Runners, Wendy not only trains hard—she also uplifts her peers, leading by example and showing others that the trail isn’t just for elites or hardcore adventurers. It’s for anyone with heart.

“There’s definitely been a shift,” she says, reflecting on the evolving trail scene. “More women are showing up, getting stronger, and proving that we belong out here. It’s empowering.”

And if you ask her what she packs for race day? No fluff—just energy gels, electrolytes, and a smile. “I go in with a happy mindset. That makes the biggest difference.”

To anyone thinking of dipping their toes into trail running, her advice is simple:
“Just give it a try. You don’t need to be fast. The trail welcomes you as you are—you might surprise yourself.”

As for Trail Titans Ulu Yam itself, Wendy sums it up in one sentence:

“It’s intense yet welcoming—and it pushes you just enough to remind you what you’re made of.”
