Pilipinas Trail Running Camp 2017

The trail running community in the Philippines has grown a lot lately and it has also attracted a variety of participants from regular road runners, fitness enthusiasts, mountaineers, and even couch potatoes. There's no doubt that many people are being drawn into the kind of adventurous kind of experience with trail running.

However, there are currently no regular trail running clinics in the Country that will help guide those beginner participants or those who are just transitioning. Sure some of our regular running workouts can be applied to strengthen and develop our running legs for the mountains, but what about the other essential trail running preparations and techniques? Would you ask google and follow the stories and experiences from foreign races? Or would it be better to learn from our own sport veterans who have gained the experience and atmosphere of our own races?

If you rather choose the 2nd option, then you're in for a great bonding and fellowship!

RaceYaya, together with Adrenaline Multisport Group and Basekamp, will hold a series of Trail running camp that aims to introduce new and aspiring runners to the sports trail running, help understand the techniques of the sport, nutrition and training plans, gearing up, trail etiquette, and other essential preparations and management needed before tackling the race and during race day.
