Follow the trail
DO YOU want to be part of an exciting event involving lots of running, thinking, and winning prize money? Then you should think about joining R.AGE Trailblazer, an educational but physically challenging event set to go down in Ipoh and Papan in Perak.

Just clan-tastic
If you ever tire of some of the more popular trading card games out there now, you might want to try the Legend of the Five Rings collectible card game.

Artistically flawed

Blazin’ time
R.AGE brought you the “Spirit” races in Kuala Lumpur, Malacca and Penang, “My 2 Sen Worth” in Genting Highlands and heaps of other events in previous years ... this July, “Trailblazer” is coming your way!
