Champions Chase at the Rock

It was more than 10 months ago, when I first had a glance and step at the famous shorelines, hills, and magnificent views of the historic Corregidor Island. A first 21K race at such marvelous island made me stop after a few meters away from the starting line, and grabbed the camera from my pocket. The decision of shooting a PR (personal record) was suddenly changed into another meaning of PR - a picture race at this. The old ruins of World War II - those are not just some kind of remnants that I would pass by. At the end, I never regret the urge, instead, I have enjoyed it more than when I am running with a better record mindset.

So the time has come again, another challenge, another call, another chance to take, another adventure run to behold, and another sighting of the great Corregidor - the Rock history of World War II in our own soil. Would you rather pass this chance and regret the great experience that we had last year? I'm giving in, I'm joining this race AGAIN. Will you take the challenge with me?
