Endurance Weekend 2013

Filinvest City, Alabang

September 14-15, 2013

Filinvest City aggressively announced the first ENDURANCE race of the year dubbed “Endurance Weekend 2013” to be held at Filinvest City. This race is definitely not for everybody but for everybody who would want to test their endurance skills in running and biking the trail. Endurance races set to complete a certain distance and you have to do it as much distance as possible over a preset amount of time.

I tried the 24-hour mountain biking race couple of times (naks! ako na talaga) and believe me it was not easy, in either solo or group category. If you are aspiring to join future endurance races, this is the best time to test yourself.

I haven’t tried endurance races for trail running yet, but hope I can do it someday.

15) In case of a tie in laps, the team or solo rider who finishes their last lap first will beat those who finish behind them (Team that has completed 28 laps with a finish time of 12:31pm would beat a team that
completed 28 laps, finishing at 12:47pm. And of course, a team that completed 29 laps, finishing at
12:50pm would beat them both.)
16) Scratching a Rider: In the event that a team loses one of its teammates due to illness, injury or exhaustion, that team may elect to “scratch” that rider from the team and continue with the race. However, the team will be listed as DNF. Also, if a team member did not meet his or her lap requirements, then that team is also listed as DNF
