Hi Trail Runner, the 16km is no contest so before the start of regular registration we scratched it from the race category. You can either choose between 10km and 21km. Registration for both categories is very high and slots are taken faster than we expected. Since you are an early bird, you can still get the discount.

Runners registering as a team will get the 5 + 1 (free) or 9 + 3 Promo as SuPLaDo_aKo says. We will post the name of teams that have participation in the event. Yes bring it on and let your teams fly high at Nature’s Trail Discovery Run.

3 Lucky runners will take home 3 pairs of trail shoes from Norphl introducing in the local market, Viking, a top European trail shoes. Raffle for the shoes will follow immediately after the race. You maybe the lucky Bib number to take home you new pairs of trail shoes.

sayang wala kagroup ko we love running nasa greenfield lahat… first time sa trail…bat nawala 16km???

No contest ang 16km lahat registration runners only on 10km and 21km also we further limit the slots to avoid overcrowding on the trails particularly at the mountain side for safety and ensure better race management and quality run.

Check at http://www.norphl.com the shoes they are going to give away for free at Nature’s Trail Discovery Run to lucky runners. Register now while there are still slots for 10km or 21km. You may not win the race but you may win the number one shoes in Norway, Viking trail shoes.

Hi Onemig, open pa ang ROX BGC daily 4-8 pm ang registration don. Yung April 21st sa Early Birds lang yon which is already closed. You can register in ROX up until May 16. Kaya lang suggest you register now since the slots are limited once we reach the max number of runners we close even before May 16. Also there is still few free souvenir singlet available good while supply last lang so avail of it now.

Their previous events. Thanks

ksama naman dian..try ko 21km first tym

Hi!

Can we just go to any of the pick-up points, or you guys have a database of the runners assigned to each pick-up point just like during the Love-a-Tree Run? Or will transpo stubs be provided with the race kits. I’m planning to go to the Masinag pick-up point, btw. Thanks! :)

Hi bokeeman, yes you can go to the pick-up points because bus will go the rounds of the pick-up points so that if you are late in one point you can jump two ahead to make sure you get the bus. Transport stub is provided in the race kits so you just have to present the stub. Masinag is the last pick up point before the bus proceeds directly to the race venue.

Reminder: Team promo (5+1 and (9+3) will close today. Thank you for those that avail. See you at the race and good luck to your teams.

Thanks Emmanuel! :) Got my race kit just this morning. Yep, saw the transpo stub!

Welcome :) see you at the race. Have Fun!

Woohoo! I sure will have fun! You guys have pepped us all up that this is better than Love-a-Tree! :)

Bloggers will get a taste of the trail race course scheduled on May 6, 2012 called Bloggers Day.

sana naging blogger na lang ako :))

QP limited lang naman to 12 yung mga Bloggers na regular nag-cocover nang mga runs and kasama. Coordinated with our hosting group. We did not choose who to invite we just got them from our hosting group. They will give a preview of the race to the runners.

@Emmanuel: kidding lang po about the blogger thing. and i don’t write anyway :) but we’re looking forward to their reviews :))

Cheers QP :) hopefully we will receive good reviews on the race. We are working hard to give quality trail running races and established running circuits in our country worthy to become part of the International races in trail running.

question lng. kelan po ung leg 2?

mga baguhan!! let’s volt in! 10km here, e-mail niyo ko kung first time on trail din kayo. [email protected]

wala palang kasamang event singlet or shirt sa race kit, souvenir singlet lang ng 1st int’l money expo 2011. pero ok lang, dami ko din naman singlet. basta may medal and finishers shirt ok na

Hi Heimon, Leg 2 is set on September 2, 2012 and the start/finish venue is on a tourism resort Tanay Adventure Camp and race course will cover mainly Mayagay & Laiban. Early Bird registration for Leg 2 will start in June 2012. Watch out for our announcement.

Hi Elvin, yes we don’t have singlet for the run but just a free souvenir singlet from previous races. This is because we encouraged teams to run as a team and wear their own singlet uniforms. We have several teams running wearing their own running uniforms. In lieu of singlet, we have Finishers Medals for both categories 10km and 21km, (normally 10km is given only certificates) and Finishers Shirts also for both categories.

Hi James, see you all at the race. Enjoy and have all the fun. Please don’t forget, if you want to camp out just bring your own tents, it’s free. Nature’s Trail Camp is already open beginning May 25 up to the day of the race on May 27 for campers runners. You can do trekking, hiking, do short distances to acclimatize before the race and even swimming in rivers. We will have Tree Planting on May 26 for those who want to join.

Im selling my 21K Slot, Bib only, No souvenir Singlet for 500.00. Ayala/Makati area Mon-Fri. Text me @ 0917 803 2901

Tomorrow will be our “Bloggers Day”. Bloggers participating in the trip will join LSD, tour the race course for the May 27 race and the venue for the 2nd Leg on September 2.

Reminder, registered runners may bring along a running buddy (a coach, a friend/family, or assistant)that can run along side with the registered runner and pace him/her in the last 5km for the 21km race and the last 3km for the 10km race under the rules and regulations set forth for Running Buddies.

No Running Buddy will be allowed in the last 500 meters to the finish line.

The JAZZRUNNER blog has a write-up/pictures of the Nature’s Discovery Trail route. Nandito: https://jazzrunner.wordpress.com/2012/05/07/the-trails-of-san-andres-tanay-the-natures-trail-discovery-route/

If we opt to camp at saturday night, Are we going to leave are tent and camp gears at the campsite or we need to break camp early and leave to a baggage counter? kindly provide info on what will be the set up so we can decide to camp as well provided our things will be secured since it is incovenient to carry it all during the run..

Hi Ruel, we have the official campsites at the Nature’s Trail Discovery Run which will be guarded by Marshals. We also have our baggage booth where you can leave your important valuables but you can leave your tent and camp gears at the campsite. You can break camp after the end of the awarding ceremony or at the end of the race when the event officially ends.

hi! I tried to register online but after i filled up my infos It did not proceed to the next step for the payment.

Where else are your onsite registration? THanx!

Hi Barbrunner, thanks! If you have submitted an online registration, the next step for payment is through an SOA that will be sent to your email stating the bank account where you can send your payment. The reason for this is for verification of registration. Nevertheless, you can register at ROX in BGC, ARC Manila, and Chris Sports outlets – Market Market, Megamall, SM North Edsa, and SM Manila.

Hi Vic, thanks for the beautiful write up nicely done with pictures of bloggers reaching the Peak which is above the clouds, the trails, and falls. See you at the race. Its gonna be lots of fun as shown in the faces of bloggers.

Hi again Barbrunner, forgot to mention, the ROX at BGC registration is open from 4pm t0 8pm daily. Last day of registration is on May 16, 2012. To give more time for the exact number of Finishers Medal and Finishers Shirt to be completed. Indeed only those that finish the race will have them, no more, no less. They are also the first Trail Runners to have the Official Ranking of Top Trail Runners in the country by Philippines Trail Runners Association. We are limiting the number of runners to avoid overcrowding the mountain trails and maintain competitiveness in the race. Only few lucky runners who made the available slots in time will discover, explore, and experience the trails we prepared for you. Its not everyday that you see or you pass them by so they are special routes.

Tanong lng po. Ung 200 po ba na additional for the transpo eh papunta at pabalik.

Hi Ruel, yes papunta and pabalik na yong para sa Transpo.

Hello po….pwede po bang malaman yung hydration????

Hi Dang, yes we have our official hydration partner Nature’s Spring which will provide hydration stations at least every 2.5km of the run. Nature’s Spring is the official bottled water of Nature’s Trail Discovery Run.

Finally we are at the last two days of Registration on May 16, 2012. All registration partner outlets will close and runners are then advice to follow our Facebook page and our official web sites for any update and announcement until the race day. We expect high level of competition. The first ranking of Trail Runners by the PTRA will be out soon. Who’s going to be in top 100?

Tomorrow is last day of registration at ROX BGC 4pm-8pm, ARC Manila, Chris Sports (Megamall, North Edsa, Market-Market, SM Manila) Few slots left. If you cant make it to registration outlets you can catch via Online Registration and pay directly in bank. Thanks, see you at the race.

Hi Ruel yes you can still make the arrangement. Please call 532-1645 or 571-05-24. It will depend on the space in the bus but many have their own transport so there are still few spaces in the bus.

Sino kaya si poging Emmanuel? Ang sipag sumagot sa mga tanong natin eh! Makikilala kaya natin siya sa program? Hehe! :p

Excited to run in the mountains of Tanay for the second time! I’m expecting this to be more thrilling than the previous Love-a-Tree! Yeeeaaah!!!

Hi bokeeman. Kung sino ang pogi don sa mga Organizers yon na si Emmanuel, He,he. Love A Tree is a mixed of road and trail, this 1st Leg of Nature’s Trail is 100% trails so yes thrilling, exciting, and very challenging race.

yey..malapit..my first trail run ever..

c u all at the race.. first trail run experience.. camp and run.. sweet.

Good luck to all. Run safely, and have fun! :))

great UPHELL climb! But it was all worth it when we reached the top and got awed by the majestic sea-of-clouds-plus-sunrise view (such tranquility and beauty!!). Killer 21k(?) route; I recorded a distance of 23.4 km (the longer, the merrier. haha)

very technical and challenging downhill. could’ve provided ropes, but it’s no biggie. adequate hydration (+bananas, buko juice). nice medal and finisher’s shirt. very responsive, amiable, and considerate race organizers. friendly locals and military authorities. Overall, great job PIMCO! I look forward to joining more of your events. Kudos!
