Call of the wild

Could it be that the 3rd edition of the Men’s Health All-Terrain Adventure Race would come sooner than expected?


Already, there is a glut of queries here in and out on when the next all-terrain race would push through. And yes, it will all be backdoor, err, back running in Timberland Heights, San Mateo, Rizal. This should be a far more difficult race if reports are true organizers are packing the course with impregnable passes, forty-five degree climbs and a whole lot of mud, dust and foliage. I like that!

Gone are the race strategies one plots on flat road courses, since this is a more tactically-inclined set-up and more perilous, so to speak. The fun part though is having to immerse yourself in the environmental magnitude of the race itself, running in the thought that this race is all about protecting and preserving Mother Nature.

So, Men’s Health, hurry up and get your asses in the grinder and shore up this race coz a lot of us are just aching to trod down the pit and gravel and come out of it dirty and sodden and ridiculously happy in the end.
