Men’s Health Philippines Urbanathlon 2012 – October 14, 2012

21km w/ obstacles, goodluck! must try though

eto na ang pinakahihintay ng lahat! oh yeah! :D

Sa Mall of Asia gaganapin yung event pero walang Registration Site sa MOA? How come?..

Sounds good! 21k with obstacles should be a true test of fitness, even for seasoned runners :)

Last year, I did 5K. I’m doing 10K this year. Excited for this! WOOT!

last year I did 10k and it was so much fun….I’m ready for my 21k woohooo!

@Brad….last year may reg sites sa Fitness first MOA….nagtataka din ako bakit ala ngayon

First time kung sasali sa fun run na ito masaya kaya at ok dito hope to hear from you guys..help me to decide at madali lang ba yung obstacle nila?

Will definitely join in the 10K event. It’s my FIRST Urbanathlon and I’m excited. =)

hi Ashley. Hindi lang masaya to, fulfilling pag natapos lahat ng obstacles lalo na yung WALL. This will be my 2nd time to join. Mdali at mahirap ang obstacles pero worth it. Yung monkey bars sa liit ko binuhat pa ko ara makasabit ako. hehe. Girl power!

hope that this event is comparable with the urbanathlon in SG 2011.. check it on youtube:

will be joining the 21k category.
see you at the race..

@Ri….kalalake kong tao binuhat din ako sa monkey bars….diadvantage ng maliit hahaha

So, this isn’t limited to male ONLY? That would be good news to a female friend. =)

@ batabatuta, lol! kala ko babae lang nagpapabuhat dun hahaha! di ko makalimutan yung mga marshals sa area grabe binitbit talaga ako habang nag momonkey bars. sabi ko please help hehe o eh di natapos ko. ;)

Sounds fun! A course with obstacles, might try 10k :)

@Ri hahaha mas comedy pa nga ang itsura ko sa hurdles e….di ko napansin na pataas pala ng pataas yon…by the 6th hurdles para na akong lechon na tinuhog at kasalukuyang umiikot sa nagbabagang apoy hahaha

But yes it was so much fun…atsaka iba yung feeling pagnatapos mo na yung Wall kasi nga mahirap sya for an average joe like me.

Compared sa Singapore, New York at Chicago MH urbanathlon, para lang kiddie event toh…Here’s hoping magdagdag sila ng marami pang obstacles para mas masaya at lastly, wag sana na for 21k e uulitin lang yung 10k route with the same obstacles done twice…mas maganda siguro kung may unique obstacles na pang 21k lang

what time does the event start? what time did it start last year?

sana mas mahirap at mas maraming obstacles na para sa 21km runners, di gaya last year na 15km tapos nasa bandang start and finish lang ung obstacles.. nakakabitin tuloy..

sana gaya sa ibang bansa…umaakyat sa mga bus…
good luck sa lahat ng sasali…
isa ito sa mga best races…
di lang kasi takbuhan….
at konti lang ang may Urbanathlon na T-Shirt…

eto yung request ko last year hehehe

pede bang magparticipate ang girls dito? :D

medal for 21k? :D

Yup pwede ang girls. Ako girl ako. ;) Pasa pasa ako pagkatapos sa hurdles. Tama si batabatuta, ang hurdles pataas ng pataas dun ako nagpasa muntik na kong romolyo hanggang floor. hehe. Hopefully itulad sa international version this time. Kahit na parang nakakagulat para sa average 5 ft petite girl like me ang obstacles kakayanin yan. Certified urbanathlete here. =)

hi Ri, anung distance ang sinalihan mo before? pag first time ba sa ganito dapat short distance lang?

Hi. 5k last year. 10k this year. Kung matagal ka ng tumatakbo pwedeng longer distance. Kasi yung obstacles parepareho naman nyong dadaanan kaso ang naging prob sa longer distances sa una at huli lang yung obstacles tagal ng takbo in between. Hoefully mag improve at lagyan ng ibang obstacles sa longer distances. May medal lasy year eh tsaka konti lang kami nakasabay sa Run United. Kaya mas masaya. ;)

Kung ganoon, then PRIORITY RUN ko ito kesa sa Run United 3. Sali na lang ako sa Runrio events next year para ma-kumpleto ko ang trilogy. =)

i might give this a try =) so excited =)

Exciting to! A true test of fitness and endurance. Sa HM e ika-ika ka pagdating mo sa finish line, pano pa kaya kung may obstacles… hehehe… :)

truly a challenge!

sa lahat ng mga nasalihan kong events, ito lang ang masasabi ko na event na kahit saan ka lumingon ay puro good looking people ang makikita mo…peksman! both male and female participants… :P kaya join ako ulit dito, pati ng mga kaibigan ko…This will be my 3rd Urbanathlon. Ano kaya ang mga obstacles?

@ dan,

Nakow, pano yan, di ako good-looking? Tall, dark, and, uhh, well, dark lang ako… ;p

@ dan, yup i agree! ang dami. lol!

pwede ba sumali kahit tall dark and cute lang =P XD hehe joke! i might try 10k coz i don’t like going in loops, boring…

dahil jan, dapat pala sumali ako para lalong dumami ang good looking..ehem! etchos! :D

@angel.d.saint
@Ri
–basta, kasali tayo sa grupo ng mga taong un…hehe. see you guys sa MHU!

@sportyspice
–sige sige…kabilang ka na rin.. :)

meron bang obstacle na need magjump? gusto ko sumali pero i have an acl tear kaya hindi pwede mag tatalon then land on one leg… kung may hurdles, negatib pero mukha ngang masaya to…

sana you can skip hurdles, sasali ako kung ganon

@dan

i’ll take your word for it sir. its my first time to join this event.. hope to meet new friends there. haha.. 21k.. cant wait..

this is the next best thing to Tough Mudder in the US which i hope will be in the philippines soon..

shirt design and medal, please upload it soon.. :D

i might try 10k baka kapusin dahil sa obstacles…

Sana kasing ganda ng sa Condura Run or Milo Marathon yung medal sa 21K. Hahahah :D

Hope you can raise the bar this year. I would definitely join if its like Singapore MH urbanathlon.

pwede mag-skip ng obstacles pero may dagdag sa oras (+minutes)…depende sa obstacle na iiwasan mo…

will definitely join this one this time!
start training na!!

hahaha.. lahat talaga goodlooking ha?! busog na busog ang mata mo nyan pati sa male ha.. goodluck to us guys..

ako kinakabahan sumali kasi may mga obstacles.. problem ko is grip..

mura to, masya pa sali ako 10k muna mahirap mabigla.

First time to join an athletic event at nakamindset na akong sa 21k agad dahil sa obstacles… Been climbing mountains at dati din track player but with 35 lbs less sa katawan. Kakayanin ko naman siguro. ;)

Naku postponed ang run800 ng 7/11 sa August 26 and they move it to October 14 because of the delayed roadworks going to CAVITEX.

Sayang naman, takbuhan pareho. Conflict na with Urbanathlon.

Good thing may refund ang run800.

badtrip men! naka set pa naman na sched ko dito. sana may refund.. or i move nalang other than october 14, i was planning to run on that one as well

anung ksama s race kit?

mahal naman ng registration fee 21k sana ako….isip isip muna… ano naman giveaways nila?

walang online registration?

Yes, what are included in the race kit?

Just found out, 7-Eleven Run 800 was moved on the same date. Having a dilemma now if I will refund with Run800 to join this event :(

does 21k have finisher’s medal? :D

meron dn kya meal for 10k???

first time kong sasali dito, ang 5k meron din bang medal, or 21k lang po ang meron?

thansk po.

first time kong sasali, 5K meron din bang medal or 21k lang po.

thanks.

May singlet po ba to? may medal ba 10k? first time ko kasi mag urbanathlon.

Ano pong mga obstacles ang meron last year? First time ko sasali eh.

Hell yeah thats what im talking about!!! ok ang mga bagong obstacles!!!!

Wow, thanks for the link, batabatuta!

Register na’ko next week sa Alabang!

Value-packed running! ;D

Gusto ko din sumali dito… Ilang obstacles ba ang gagawin throughout sa race?

7 obstacles

please be reminded that there might be *wink* more than one wall…..(background music: Beethoven’s 5th Symphony)

please be reminded that there might be *wink* more than one wall…..(background music: Beethoven’s 5th Symphony)

Nice kung 7 obstacles…more than one wall is fine, wag lang wall (8-10 ft) climbing without a rope kasi im sure madami ang maiinjure pag akyat at pagtalon.

For safety, I think they should place medical aides every where the obstacles are.

meron po bang singlet and medal to? all categories?

Got to work on my pull-up exercise. Oh dear.

Malupit nnman ito…

ano po b included s registration fee? tska meron po b for all categories? first time ko po sna ngyn year…thanks

may medal na ata lahat ng category, ung 15km kasi nila last year may medal eh..

kaso hindi maganda ung quality ng medal nila, mejo kinakalawang na sya kahit hindi nabasa. bawi na lang sa lanyard.. :)

Ngayon naman may finisher’s shirt na sila. Pang all categories siguro ung fs. Sana dry fit o kaya may konting design, mejo napakasimple kasi para sakin.

Naalala ko, maraming nahirapan sa wall. natanggal kasi ung kahoy na aapakan sa bigat ng mga umaakyat, kaya aun hirap ung iba makaahon kahit may lubid..

Sana this coming MHU, maglagay sila ng obstacles between 5km-15km, para hindi naiipon ung mga participants sa bandang start and finish ng race.

gusto ko sanang maexperience ang run na to kaso conflict sa 7-11 run….advice please….

sana nga dri fit ang finisher shirt balak ko kc gamitin sa susunod na trail run ko. mas maganda nga kung me konting design pa…

@mac: i-refund nalang ang 7eleven run at dito nalang sumali sa urbanathlon :D

wow… mas challenging na nga ang MH ngaun. ok yung tatlong military wall.. haha..

@mac: Tama si sportyspice refund mo nalang tapos sali ka dito. I opted to have a refund din kasi dahil mas gusto kong subukan ‘to. Kung di sana conflict I will join both. :)

ako nagrefund nadin 7-11 and opted to join this one.

perfect! kitakits mga urbanathletes! :D

the past two years dry fit ang shirt
most probably this year din

sana mag enjoy ako dito sa MHU na to…

last year nakakabitin yung mga obstacles… I guess it’s a lot more fun now that MensHealth has added some more! Awoooo!!!

sana may reg site sa SM MOA…wooo lau sa ortigas nd ROX… mas enjoy to ngaun dami mga naidagdag na mga obstacles ha ha ha…

agree with quicksilver:

sana dri-fit since im using finishers shirt sa mga mountain climbing activities ko.. sana may difference rin sa print for the 16k and the 21k urbanathletes.

@Menshealth , sana merong difference sa print ng finishers shirt for the 10k, 16k and to those who will run 21k.. syempre the longer the distance mas intense ang training.

Guys, you might want to arm yourself with handgrips just in case it gets slippery or when you feel weak already…

ano poh ba meron d2 bukod sa obstacles? :D may medal ba and finishers shirt lahat ng category o ung 21k lang?

Ito ang sinasabi ko!
Kahit ano pa ang event na kasabay nito ay ITO pa rin ang sasalihan ko. kanselin na lahat ng event na kasabay nito.hehe. TARA NA mga URBANATHLETES!

tara na nga. sali na tayo dito.

SPARTANS..

HARU! HARU!

Medal please and singlet design para mapag handaan

Question, yung mga obstacles ba, nagiging parang choke point? As in pila?

ano magandang shoes dito? trail, running, o cross-training?

interested po ako, gusto ko po mag try, kelangan po ba mabilis dito? or parang fun run lang din po na ok lang kahit mabagal???

Sana may samples ng Finisher shirts sa mga venue..para alam po natin yung mga sizes..:)

mukhang masaya to, kya lng bka ma-injure ako sayang paghahanda ko for Phil. Marathon… il definitely join next time

Sana damihan ang mga sets of obstacles kasi siguradong magkakarun ng choke point in every obstacle kung maliit o konti ang pwde magperform.

Tsk bakit namn sinabay sa 7/11 run. Sayang sana i-lipat ng date para mas madami sumali
