Hi Guys,

Here are the immediate details for the IMMUVIT TRAIL CHALLENGE LEG 1.

The Race is the first Obstacle Trail Race ever organized in the country following the Spartan and Tough Mudder Races in the States, it will be organized by Without Limits, ProActive and Coach Joseph.

Race registration are to start tentatively on Saturday Aug 11, 2012 at the following Chris Sports outlets:

SM North
SM MOA
SM Manila
Fitness and Athletics at BHS Global City
Glorietta 3

We have two distances which are:

5K – 600 php reg fee
10k – 800 php reg fee

There will be 5 obstacle courses but we will only mention two (the other three will be a surprise)

1. Fire Jump
2. Military Wall
3. Surprise
4. Surprise
5. Surprise =P

We will provide executive coaches as bus transport from Shell station in front of Ayala Technohub at Philcoa (bus details to be announced soon/ it will be printed with the registration forms)

Hand Gloves and whistles are mandatory race requirements. None of these equipments and you will not be allowed to start.

The Race will start by Waves. Participants can choose their respective waves once they registered, however in the event that a certain wave is full participants will be sent notifications which wave they are entered.

There will be Singlets and Race Bibs when you register. Survivor Medals and Loot Bags await finishers within their cutoff times and Cash Prize for the Men’s and Women’s champions.

This event will be hydrated by ProActive so don’t worry about water. There will also be shower stations after the race so don’t worry of getting muddy and dirty.

There will also be an online registration which will start next week monday.

Thats it for now. For inquiries email us at [email protected]

Hope to see you in the starting line.

anong petsa n ngayon tpos details to follow p rin…? hala!

Anu ‘to parang Spartan Race?

will you be providing 3 different singlets for the event since 3 scheduled legs ang challenge?

thanks.

as with most trail run events, I hope both the participants and organizers are responsible enough not to leave any trash in La Mesa. Seems like most rumners have this mentality that they have the right to throw their cups/bottles anywhere because they are racing.

i’ve seen so much trash and trail markers left behind from previous trail run events such as the Merrel run un Timberland and The North Face run in Baguio

Hi Tedaks,

Yes we will provide three different singlets for each Leg.

Hi Marc,

Yes we will clean up the route. La Mesa Forest Reserve is Protected Area and part of our agreement with them is keep all areas clean after the event.

We practice the “Leave No Trace Principle”

Thanks,

Ian Alacar

So long as the organizer provide the necessary trash bins, I don’t think it would be much of a problem. Otherwise – much as I hate to say this – you can’t blame them (the runners) for throwing their trash anywhere they please. It is, after all, the organizer’s responsibility. Runners are focused only at what they signed up for – RUN. POGI points to those who are responsible enough to keep the trail clean.

I bring my own hydration, so no problem with me. =)

what’s the cut-off time for both categories?

Sometimes even with trash bins there are runners who still throw their trash anywhere. Ive been competing before and i also am guilty of throwing anywhere in pursuit of a win or a PR.

Anyway, we clean up naman. We do not put the blame sa participants. The race venue will be cleaned when all runners are done or almost done sa race.

@ Andrew = Cut-off time for 5K is two hours and four hours for the 10K

Thanks.

Hi Rachel,

What other details do you need? We basically covered the registration information that is needed.

Regarding the details that are to follow which I mentioned are “Bus departures. These will be provided right at the same time when we start the registration.

Don’t worry we have prepared for this event and the reason why we have only a short time period for the registration is because we are limiting the event to only 500 participants.

@Bill Boyd – It follows the genre of Spartan Race and other challenge races in the US. However the distances are not exactly the same but we offer the same dirt, challenge, excitement and thrill.

Only the toughest shall arrive first at the finish line.

2 race’s moved their schedule na, tuloy na tuloy na ba toh? for the shuttle, how much fare fee?

Name for this race: No surrender, No Cancellation… :-)

Who can join this kind of event? Pwede bang sumali ang mga beginners or first time runners sa ganitong klaseng event?

@lyn comment 21.

Pedeng pede po. Open to all po yan. :)

until when po ang registration? rain or shine po ba yung event na yan?

grrr, short notice! aug.29 ang uwi ko and cannot be moved n kasi finalised n ang booking. sounds interesting p nmn tong event.ü

good luck to all entrant.ü

im a tough mudder fan, i will definitely sign up for this.. haha.. 10k..

Exciting!!!

Guys,

1)Ok ba yung track record/success rate ng mga races previously organized by Without limits? ok naman ba?

2)Sa mga tumatakbo sa La Mesa Nature Reserve, kamusta naman ang terrain? mabato ba? steep ba? maputik ba? may ilog bang dadaanan?

3)Yung executive coaches which will serve as bus transpo, magkano ang bayad?

4)Kailangan ba naka Leg1 ka para makapag Leg2 ka?

If this is as hardcore as I expect it should be, then I’m excited.

Pahabol lang, kung pinattern ninyo sa Tough Mudder at Spartan Race ito then needless to say, dapat mas mahirap pa ito sa urbanathlon or sa ibang adventure runs.

@BataBatuta – Yes but like we said not exactly the same in terms of distance. But definitely mas mahirap pa siya sa Urbanathlon.

And to clarify, ang Adventure Runs ay different from Obstacle Challenge Events.

Adventure Races are multi disciplined and can go multiday such as Carera Habagat and Cordura Races back in the 90’s.

Hi Batabatuta,

You can check previous events we have posted dito sa pinoyfitness like Brooks Run Happy 2, Great Bank Fun Run and recently yung Kelloggs Super K Run para mabasa mo yung reviews.

As Race Director I have also organized the 2010 Urbanathlon at BGC and the 2011 Men’s Health All Terrain Race sa Nuvali.

La Mesa Dam offers Mid to High Canopy na Forest. It is a mix of extremely muddy and gravel trails. Also “libre” ang executive coaches na ipprovide namin, wala po kayong babayaran.

Its not necessary na you have joined Leg 1 to join Leg 2 and Leg 3.

Best,

Ian Alacar
Race Organizer

ok noted…so in terms of distance lang talaga ang kaibahan…pero as to difficulty,at par with or very close to Spartan/Tough mudder

You had me at Kelloggs, that was an outstanding run. Congrats!

In a way yes, halos we made it at par yung level of difficulty pero not so hard dahil meron pang Leg 3 which we want to make as the most challenging of the 3 events. Thanks bro!

Thanks! You saw me there sa Kelloggs Run. Im the guy wearing the purple jacket and firing the Gunstarts =)

yup I saw you hehehe….This event was announced on such a short notice although yung pagpostpone ng 7-11 run at nung Rexona run could work to your advantage. It baffles me kung pano ang preparations ninyo at this stage…considering na may calamidad tayo ngayon.

Here’s hoping this will be as organized and as hydration/medic/marshall friendly as with your previous races. :)

Sana merong registration sa SM Megamall; otherwise, kindly confirm if registration sites mentioned above are ready to accept registrants as scheduled and that the race kits are available para di sayang ang lakad.

just asking, will you allow bare foot runners and the ones using running sandals? kung ihahambing sa spartan runs, dapat sandals. just asking here before i register, im a sandal runner by the way.

paki add po chris sports MEGAMALL… para may mahikayat akong sumali sa area. thanks. yung transpo po pala papunta sa venue papano? can you clarify it kasi medyo magulo ang detail.

Naku buti na lang di pa ako nakapagsign-up sa Kabatarun. Sana di lang sa ecopark ang takbo sana umikot sa buong lake!

Hi Guys,

We are working on your request regarding the option to have registration at SM Megamall however Chris Sports declined our request to put it there. However we have Glorietta 3 and SM North as venues.

@ Roy, we will allow barefoot runners to join.

We will also have final announcements tomorrow regarding the opening of registration on Saturday.

As an add-on service, free bus rides will be provided. Participants are not required to pay the bus ride. Organizers hired these vehicles to assist the participants. Specific waves and schedules are pre-assigned. Bus departure schedules are given during the registration.

Please see matrix as guide:

10K Waves Time of Departure from Shell
1 6:00 5:00
2 6:10 5:00
3 6:20 5:00
4 6:30 5:00
5 6:40 5:20
6 6:45 5:20
7 6:50 6:00
8 6:55 6:00
9 7:00 6:00

5K Waves Time of Departure from Shell
1 7:30 6:30
2 7:40 6:30
3 7:50 6:30
4 8:00 7:00
5 8:10 7:00
6 8:20 7:30

When you register you will be asked for the Wave Schedule/Time of Start you want, after choosing we will verify if the given schedule is okay within 36 hours. If not we will let you choose between the remaining available schedules.

Best,

Ian Alacar
Race Organizer

I’m confused with the matrix. What does that mean? for example sa 10k Wave 1: its 6:00 then its 5:00 Assuming it means we leave the bus leaves at 5am ETA at 6am then the gunstart of Wave 1 is around 7am?

Hi Batabatuta,

This is the simple formula of the matrix.

Given the items:
10K Waves Time of Departure from Shell
1 6:00 5:00

Ill explain it piece by piece

The number “1″ refers to the first bus who will leave Shell Station.

The “Waves” are the Gun time or time of Start, meaning the first Wave will start at 6:00am.

Now, the bus that will bring the participants to the venue will leave at 5:00am from Shell which is the “Time of Departure from Shell”

From here you can choose first the time of departure you want from Shell thus the corresponding gun time of your wave at the race area.

We will be posting an FAQ Sheet here to further guide the participants

Medal Design? :)

What if a runner completes all 3 legs of the Immuvit Fearless Challenge 2012? Will he/she be entitled to an award of some sort like at Run United?

Dahil sa postponed yung isang event, i think dadami mga sasali dito. :)

online registration..

will there be finisher’s shirt?! *wishing*

sayang walang megamall, dami lng kasi ng worksite ko, by the way from running area may bus po bang pabalik ng pick-up point pag pauwi n ang mga runners.

yung registration fee is only applicable for this leg of the run?

Got it….sensya na medyo slow…e yung sa paguwi? kanya kanya na ba o yung coaches din ang magdadala sa amin pabalik ng Shell for free? kung 4 hours ang cutoff ng 10k, anong oras ang time of departure? ibig sabihin ba kung ang last wave e 7am, ang time of departure is around 11-12nn….had to know kasi ganitong ganito ang naging problema sa Merrell nung June.

Thanks.

pansin ko lang ang Leg3 October 13 in direct competition sa MH urbanathlon at 711-800 Run. Mas maganda siguro kung iresched nyo ng ibang araw…

Although kaya naman siguro ito race sa Sabado tapos kinabukasan urbanathlon naman hehehe parang yung Salomon X-trail nung sabado tapos kinabukasan Yakult naman….sakit sa katawan ang hanap talaga lol

@Ian Alacar: Thanks sir for responding po.

I have another inquiry. Kindly clarify naman po this rule: “Hand Gloves and whistles are mandatory race requirements. Without these equipments and you will not be allowed to start.”

Who will provide the hand gloves po? If kami, ano pong type ng gloves and whistles? Any specific brand and type?

Ang 5k may survivor medal?

Haven’t tried La Mesa Reserve yet. Looks exciting. Hindi natin dapat ma-miss ito coz it’s only limited to 500 participants.

Tara lets guys!

Ano yang surprise? Rope crawl? zip line? cliff dive?

@jp or baka yung
a) dadaan ka sa kuryente (tough mudder)
b) tatalon ka sa tubig na puno ng yelo (tough mudder)
c) gagapang ka sa putikan (spartan)
d) magbubuhat ka ng 2 balde na may tubig (spartan)
e) atbp…..

haha! ok ako sa rope crawl, zip line at lahat ng nabanggit ni batabatuta wag lang cliff dive…waaahh di ako marunong lumangoy kasi hehe

Count me in!!!

Can we bring a companion with us? pwede ba isabay sa bus ung kasama or participants lang ang pwede sa service bus?

@lyn

Non-participants are welcome within the venue provided that they are with a registered participant, however, free transportation does not cover the non participants. Only participants are allowed to take advantage of this service. No bibs/stubs, no ride.

Participants are advised to be at the assembly station at least 30 minutes before their scheduled bus departures. The bus will load 15 minutes before departure time. Departure schedule will be strictly followed whether passengers are complete or not.

Thank you.

To fellow runners:

Okay lang po ba gumamit ng sandals dito like Sandugo All Terrain Sandals, Merell, etc.? I am new to trail run kasi so hingi lang po ako ng suggestion. Medyo alanganin po ako sa trail shoes ng Merell kasi mahal and di ko naman madalas magagamit. So baka pwede naman po yung sandals lang. :)

what are the cut-off times?

is there a baggage counter? ty

Hi dong,

See comment #21.

Thanks.

medal design is awesome. sana ganito rin ka.ganda yung actual medal. please provide a baggage counter and if a non participant friend will accompany me on this race, how much po yung transpo fee nila. one more thing, please provide sample singlets sa mga chris outlets para masukat po namin at makapili ng correct size. sana maging successful po ang event na to.

Hi All,

Update ulit.

Regarding the Activity Area, we will provide.

Hydration Stations
Baggage Counter
Medical Booth
Security Command Center
Information Booth
Holding Area for Participants
Shower Area
Portalets
Changing Room

Best,

Ian Alacar
Race Organizer

different medals for 5k and 10k finishers?

Hi Andrew,

Yes the medals will be differently marked.

Ian Alacar

Hi Sir Ian,

Pwede po ba kahit naka All Terrain Sandals lang or kailangan shoes po talaga? Also, meron po ba kayong pwedeng iendorse na specific brand or type ng gloves at whistles na dapat bilhin or gamitin? Pasensya na po kung maraming tanong. :)

Any age limit? For the “young ones” lang ba ito? baka di ko kayanin yung obstacles a!!! I was able to run in the recent Salomon X-trail and Merrell runs. I am wondering if I can possibly join this one?

Hi Tess,

Wala naman age limit. As long as the participants were able to finish a 10K race. Kaya lang on the obstacles priority will be given to the faster participants. If your running slow or having a hard time you need to give way to the elites.

Thanks,

Ian Alacar

My transpo din kya po s leg 3???

Hi Vash,

Yes meron transport.

Best,

Ian Alacar

Wow, adventure game tlga ito. Kelangan paghandaan kasi di pla makukuha yung medal pag di matapos ang lahat ng challenge.

waaa, late ko na nakita to ah, gUzto ko to..
kaya lang nakapag reg. na ako sa rUn800,
sayang talaga, sayang….

sana e post na all obstacle courses para mapaghandaan namin.

Beneficiary? Flood victims? La Mesa Watershed conservation?

HI, kung hindi cover ang transportation ng mga non-participants, magkano ang babayaran namin para sabay kaming makapunta sa venue? or dapat bang mag commute na din kmi para makarating dun?may mga sasakyan(jeep) bang naghahatid dun? any advise? Can we also use ordinary running shoes here?

ok lang po ba na walang suot na pang-itaas during the race, parang sa tough mudder lang?

ung leg 3 po, hindi po ba pwede sa oct 14? kasi every sat may pasok ako sa school:(

sir, sa 5k po ba 5 obstacle din? nakalagay kasi sa details ng post nyo ang obstacle is every 1.5k, thanks

paregister kami mamamaya! :D

nagregister na ako, kaya lang bib lang binigay sa akin, sabi daw ang singlet sa race day daw makukuha :(

registered at moa. No sample singlet sizes available. Only 6 Slots per wave. Since there’s no sample singlet, If I get the wrong size would it be possible to change?
Thanks.

@runningWild

is there sample singlets there at the store??

registered at moa. No sample singlet sizes available. Only 6 Slots per wave. Since there’s no sample singlet, If I get the wrong size would it be possible to change?
Thanks.

@FatBoy Slim wala po kahit sample singlet. base po sa staff ng chris sports, yan lang daw binigay sa kanila

nagregister na ako kanina yipee!

Sir Ian ask ko lang po kung yung entrance po ba nung La Mesa Forest Reserve is yung along Quirino Ave. going to SJDM, Bulacan?

Malapit lang po kasi sa amin yung entrance nun, pwede ko takbuhin for warm-up going to the entrance. Tapos dun na lang po ako sasakay nung bus papasok sa venue nung event.

Thanks in advance po!

Hi sir, i registered today at chris sports glorietta, and i was still asked to pay 600. Can this problem be addressed?

Is there a requirement that you should have run a 10k before if you only registered for the 5k? The people at chris sports told me that there is no requirement when i registered for the 5k.

@lyn

Pasensya na pero participants lang talaga ang pwedeng sumakay nang libre sa bus. There is transportation available at the area, meaning jeeps and buses going to Sapang Tungko (If you are passing through Fairview/Commonwealth).

We can suggest that if you have a vehicle, convoy na lang with the bus but parking is a little limited nga lang inside the nature reserve. There is no parking fee but its a first-come, first served basis.

You can wear ordinary running shoes, pero be prepared to have it battered on the terrain. Maputik kasi talaga on certain places and then gravelly on others.

@edgar

5K will do three obstacles while 10K will go through all 5.

@Fatboy_slim and running wild:

Pasensya na po binaha po kasi ang supplier namin nang singlet, pero next week ay makakapagdeliver na kami sa stores. In the meantime we have a 50 pesos off sa stores until the singlets will be available.

@Arnie:
Yes it is along Quirino.

*Sorry that is Sapang Palay/Tungko buses that pass along Quirino. Just tell the driver that you will get down at the La Mesa Dam Forest Reserve.

Yes, nakapagparegister na ako sa SM North Edsa Annex. Yung singlet daw sa race day daw makukuha ayun sa staff ng Chris Sports. Wave 3 na ang naabutan ko.

@sir ian

gusto po sumama ng GF ko pero hndi sya sasali sa event.. hndi po ba sya pwede sa Bus even though we are willing to pay for the transpo fee?

suggestion lang po: can you provide sa chris store ng sample singlet, kahit yung singlet from a different event. basta same ng sukat ng singlet ng run na to.. in my case, hndi ko rin nman sya gagamitin since may white sa likuran, mahirap labahan kapag naputikan na. i’ll be wearing black singlet or baka mag topless nalang (sana pwede like tough mudder). kse mabigat ang damit pag may kasama ng putik. mas OK sana sakin kung finishers singlet/shirt na may nakalagay na “I survived a Trail Challenge” something like that..

Wow! Medal design is nice. I hope na yung actual medal is mas maganda. Question po. Medals for 5k and 10k will be differently marked. Pero different in lace color and size? :)

@WithoutLimits
Have you guys informed the store that the fee would be less 50? Registered yesterday and we still paid 800. Sayang yung 50 pesos. And also kindly confirm the release of the singlet. Chris Sports Moa told us the singlet can be claimed during the event.
