Urbanathlon On My Mind

{The Wall}

{Hurdles}

{Tire Dump}
.
When your mind starts to wander and your work desk starts to look like an urban playground, I'm thinking a few kilometers of running around is a good way to release that pent up energy. And mind you, not just ordinary running, but the much-anticipated, ultra challenging Men's Health Urbanathlon.
.
I was invited for a preview of things to come during the blogger's launch (carboloading at Italianni's) of the Urbanathlon 2010. And this year's race promises a tougher course. For the weekend warriors in need of a new scene, the Urbanathlon is out to prove why it's one of the annual races sport aficionados watch out for.
.
Aside from the usual suspects, there are new obstacles to "secret train" for:
  • The Wall (An oldie but 8-ft goodie.)
  • Low Crawl (Time to get down and dirrrrty!)
  • Hurdles (Careful. Slippery when wet.)
  • Scaffolding Maze (In lieu of last year's "weaving" obstacle.)
  • Tire Dump (Weave through 200 tires stacked on top of each other.)
  • Balance Beam (Supposedly new, but I remember channeling my very, very little ballet balancing skills on a similar obstacle during the 1st Urbanathlon back in 2007. Doubly challenging when you're wearing mud for shoes.)
    .

P.S. Oh, and I won't miss the Vertical Sky Run obstacle (stairs) AT ALL! ;)

The Urbanathlon will be held on November 7, 2010, Sunday, 5:00 A.M. at Bonifacio Global City (BGC), Taguig City. The registration fee for the race is P500 (for both 5K and 10K distances) and includes a race shirt, drink stubs from Gatorade, food stubs from Century Tuna, and an issue of Men's Health magazine.
