Men’s Health Urbanathlon Philippines – November 13, 2011

hello runners! tanong ko lang if ano ang mga example ng obstacle race na eto. parang exciting yata… sa mga naka try na last year. idea naman kung ano ang mangyayari…

Uu nga. Ano nga ba mga obstacles? Nakita ko sa youtube yung mga sa ibang bansa, ang lupet… Sana ganun din yung dito sa pinas…

may list ng obstacles na ba for this year’s urbanathlon?

Men’s Health Philippines
URBANATHLON ANNOUNCEMENT: You know about the CRAWL and the WALL, now here are three more obstacles in the 2011 Urbanathlon. Number 3, HURDLES, six rows of road barricades to slow you down. No. 4, the bigger and better SCAFFOLDING MAZE, a massive steel structure of intertwined pipes (no more garters, we promise!). Lastly, no. 5 and new this year, carry your weight across the MONKEY BARS (photo attached). We’ll be posting photos of all obstacles soon. Also, you can learn more about them in the next issue of MH Philippines. Sign up now!

wow, sali ako dito.. hahhaha meron na bang design for the shirt?

havent seen the shirt yet. may nirelease na daw na xl lang. coming soon pa lang yung ibang sizes

i want to try this… parang exciting naman… bahala ako lang mag isa.hehehehe

ako rin im alone. basta adventure dyan ako.

I WOULD REALLY PREFER TO JOIN THIS RUN,
HOWEVER CAN YOU LOWER DOWN THE RATE FOR ME,
BECAUSE I DON’T NEED A MEN’S HEALTH SUBSCRIPTION, BECAUSE I HAVE AN ACTIVE SUBSCRIPTION UNTIL APRIL 2012, SO IF I JOIN HERE I’M GETTING 2 COPIES FOR 3 CONSECUTIVE MONTHS…. HALF NA LANG PRICE SINCE 140 UNG MAG. 140X3= 420.. THEREFORE 800-420 = 380 LANG DAPAT… OR KHT 600 NLNG FOR ME… PLEASE. REALLY WANT TO JOIN, PERO SAYANG UNG 3MONTH SUBSCRIPTION MERON NA KO NUN EH… HOPE YOU WOULD ANSWER MY QUESTION. THANK YOU, AND MORE POWER TO MEN’S HEALTH..!!!

same here always alone sa mga running events pero sali pa din ng sali….sana ilabas na nila yun complete obstacle na inihanda for us..excited much:) better sana hindi na lang isabay ito sa RU3…

pwede ba girls dito?

pwede girls dito. last year ang daming girls na sumali.basta ang mga sasali dito ,men and women,dapat di maarte at di takot masaktan. di lang kasi ito takbuhan na paulit ulit.

Thanks! medyo intimidating kasi yung monkey bars e baka di ko kayanin hahaha. Anyway, will they provide enough equipment for each obstacle? Nakakawala ng momentum kung sakali kasi kung magkakaron ng pila

wala bang design ng shirt,gusto sana naming makita,thanks

nsa club 360 na ung mga race kit…yehey…makikita ko sya tom…dun me ng ggym…ngayon lng ulit me bumalik coz of my low back pain…

see ya all on the 13th of Nov.

pwede n cguro ako d2 ng maiba nman uli.. been in trail run b4 at talagang malakas pa ulan kaya masaya. sana maulan uli para wet look again..

Yung mga list of obstacles nasa new issue daw ng mens health..may monkey bars nga.. so kailangan mag training dun..at 8 feet wall obstacle. Goodluck sa atin..

may crawl, hurdles, scaffolding maze,monkey bars at wallclimb..Lets get it on..

sa urbanathlon muna ako para masubukas ko rin.

wala palang timing chips or rfid

i wonder why ang tagal maglabas ng singlet design etong urbanathlon … Nainip tuloy kami and nagpa-register sa kabilang run kaaantay sa other details of this run. Is there any chance that this run will be move to a later date. Sana mag-announce agad kung magmo-move ng date before we opted to register sa Run for Pasig river.

Yeah .Ill like to try this one for the first time.I am doing crossfit/barefooted already.Ill up to this kind of challenge.

Wala rin bago, yan din mga obstacles nila last year, sana tama na ung positioning ng mga obstacles para ndi mo n kelangan pumila at maghintay mkalagpas lng…

Be sure of your upper body strength, you’ll be in trouble if in the end you’ll end up gassing out facing the last obstacle…the wall.

Will all the obstacles be in all the race categories? And any idea of how high the wall climb is?

I’m thinking of registering for this but yung sa wall climb lang ako nag-aalangan :P

@Karen

all distances, even the 5km category, will go thru all the obstacles. sabi naman nila eh me mag-a-assist sa mga runners na mahihirapan sa obstacles =)

Whew, that’s good to hear. See you guys there! :)

san yung bike king sa Highstreet ba yun?

Linggo-linggo may run, ang RU, 1-3. Ang Urbanathlon, once a year lang. Ang dami ko nang naipon na gamot.

Ano ba naman i-try ang bago. =)

Urbanathlon tayo! Something new naman! Run with a twist! Hindi kailangan magworry sa obstacles kasi from past Urban events, nagtutulungan mga runners especially sa wall.

I heard free 3-month subscription, may medal at may ID lanyard.

See you all!

dapat atend muna ako training ng URBANATHLON before i partake. pls help where to get intouch d training pra nmn mabigyan ko ng justice ggawin ko. sana matulungan ako. am willing to pay.

registered na kami kanina lang. May finishers medal para sa lahat ng category, nakakabit sa race bib yung stub. ganda ng tela ng t-shirt. sana meron ding certificate gaya last year.

I am already predicting a bottle neck during the obstacle courses. Marami na naman ma-iinis niyan. Once your are pumped up with adrenalin, hate na hate mo ang maghintay for a turn.

Therefore, sa 32k na lang ako with RU3 – Free and Easy run.

This will be my last race for 2011 and I really am so excited na talaga…I am hoping that i will not be dissappointed…coz’ I want to end this with a bang.

hnde ba extended ang registration??

Extended registration until Nov. 6! :D

Nagpanic pa man din ako nung Sunday to register :| Better call first the registration site that you’re planning to register in, baka wala na silang kits, unless nag restock sila.

I initially wanted to register in Fitness First MOA, but naubusan na daw. I was able to register later in the day in Bike King, BHS.

hey guys, just want to ask what time will the the 5k start?
thanks

yey.. thanks po sa info na extended ang registration.. hopefully meron pang avail n size by the 6th.. :p

URBANATHLON ANNOUNCEMENT: Hi everyone, we did a slight modification on the Low Crawl obstacle. It is now the CHERIFER PREMIUM UP AND UNDER. One needs to go over a 3-ft high platform, right before dropping down on the ground to crawl for 10 feet, where one will zigzag his way through it as there are sandbags along the way. After that, he or she will go up and down the slide (you can opt to run down the slide), followed by a 4-ft hurdle. Hence, the name UP AND UNDER. This is the first obstacle. What do you think?

Sounds great :D

Naku… Kasabay ng RU3… SAYANG!

luv it! …in fact sana damihan nyo pa ang mga challenges

pede p bang magregister?

URBANATHLON ANNOUNCEMENT: Many are asking about the MONKEY BARS OBSTACLE sponsored by CENTURY TUNA. How high is it? How long? What happens if we don’t make it across? Well, here it is. The monkey bars are 8-ft high and 14-ft long. If you fall (on your feet, hopefully), marshals will help you up again with a chair. If you choose to skip it, you’ll get a 10-min penalty. You guys ready for some “monkey business”? Let’s do this!

luv it! pero above all, we hope this run would be very organized like the KOTR para walang whiners…excited na talaga ako…

When are we getting the magazines after registration?

open pa kaya registration?

may medals ba in all distance categories?

meron daw lahat

good luck na lang mga runners,may kasabay sayang naman,dun ako sa 32k,di bale sa susunod na patakbo,join na ko dito,para iba naman ang ta takbuhan ko

URBANATHLON ANNOUNCEMENT: For three years straight, Gatorade has become a loyal partner in our mounting of the Men’s Health Urbanathlon. And for three years straight, the GATORADE WALL has always been the last race obstacle to conquer. This year, as a tradition, the 8-ft high wall will once again stand between you and the finish line. The only difference with this one? It is wider to minimize congestion and lines. Hence, this will surely lessen the time you can rest while falling on line. You like? Let us know what you think!

go go go Urbanathletes!
ours is a different race.
matira matibay
bawal ang maarte
bawal ang takot

mga Urbanathletes: di kuntento sa paulit ulit na takbuhan na alam mo na ang ruta,yun at yun din.
