Pilipinas Akyathlon 2023 | Trail Running

Philippine Skyrunning Association's Pilipinas Akyathlon is probably the toughest race in the Mt. Ugo vicinity due to its steep gradients and technical terrain.
Take a look where we'd end up having to battle some pretty tough conditions while breathing in the majestic views of the cordilleras.
Thanks to RD Don Santillan and all the amazing volunteers, photographers and fellow runners out there. It truly was great to run with you all.

You had me pumped right from the start with Blue Oyster Cult. Killer trail race Simon! Sucks that you got lost, but I made for a good adventure.

Great looking event & route, it'd be the heat I'd struggle with over the elevation. Nice choices of music for the video👌Those cows are mad!! Well done on pushing through & I loved the bridge at the end over the gorge ❤

[@NomadTerraCrawlers]

Spidercows hehe. Good thing it wasn't that hot. The bridges were awesome indeed.

[@MyTravelChannel-RO]

Some videos gain interest and respect from the very beginning. This is one of them. Well done for sharing this well-made video production!👍

[@NomadTerraCrawlers]

Thanks for the warm compliment. Likewise.

[@mynameislance1695]

How to be like you guys?
I'm just starting my hiking journey, I was on my 3rd mountain when I saw trail runners. I was enticed, I was amazed. That day I want to be a trail runner too.

[@NomadTerraCrawlers]

You can visit wawa in Rizal. There are many groups of trail runners who are ready to take in newbies. Good luck!

[@mynameislance1695]

Looking forward to it. Thanks!
