Merrell Adventure Run

Here's another adventure race that will prep you up with your trail running gear. Last year, this was the same race that debuted my trail running experience, finishing 7th. That previous race marked so many memories, disappointment, punishment, and also a great challenge and experience (read more of the story here).

This year, Merrell will give us another experience of a lifetime with their second installment of the Merrell Adventure Run. And it will be held at Timberland Heights in San Mateo, Rizal that will lead us through dirt roads, flowing streams, river crossing, rock scrambling, and uphill & downhill trails in a new but equally challenging & breathtaking race course.
