The Guerilla Warrior Race, covers a distance of 10 kms. with 18 obstacles to test our avid racers. As we have promised, this race will be tougher, crazier, but more exciting and we will bring whole lot more fun during race day. But there is more, because for the next race, we will still have the Sprint version for the first time-racers and the debut of our exhilarating Kids Edition of our very own Guerilla Race. 

The Guerilla Kids Race will be participated by kids ages 6-12years old in our effort to make our race a whole family affair. So let your kids join the fun for this next race!

WHAT IS THE GUERILLA RACE®SERIES?

The First in the Philippines The Guerilla Race Series is the first obstacle-driven race series of its kind in the Philippines. Skillfully developed by a Philippine Army Scout Ranger, the Guerilla Race® Series is meant to test the Guerilla Racers’® limits in terms of endurance of body, presence of mind and resilience of spirit.The Blaze is in the Race Water, fire, mud, spider nets, barbed wires, high walls, tunnels and other bizarre challenges are leagues beyond the usual fun run trails. The Guerilla Race®Series is all about the very obstacles that emphasize exciting landscapes and various race topographies in different regions of the Philippines. “Finish the race…or keep on trying”

The Guerilla Race Series is designed to unleash uncharted territories of one’s physical strength and mental stamina with the battery of obstacles. There is no map to be consulted nor is there any schedule of challenges to be followed. The only known constant lies in the mantra to “Finish the race…or keep on trying.”

Categories in the Guerilla Race Series
The Guerilla Race Series offers a progressive race course, with four venues of varying distances and difficulty levels. Each leg of the series is devised with terrain-inspired or venue specific obstacles, all guaranteed to surprise the participants and to ignite their sense for strategy.

The Guerilla Sprint
This obstacle sprint sets the Guerilla Racer® toward the start of his journey, covering a 5-kilometer distance. Beginner racers, fun run fanatics, duathlon and triathlon athletes, adventurers, thrill seekers and marathon mavens alike will find themselves in a grueling but fun-filled endeavor involving at least 12 obstacles.

The Guerilla Warrior
The next obstacle race features a 10-kilometer trail and mud race of 18 or more obstacles. The top 3 male and top 3 female participants at the Guerilla Warrior will qualify for free entry into the succeeding round.

The Guerilla Panther Challenge
The third tier in the series, the Guerilla Panther Challenge boasts of a gruelling 21-kilometer trail with 25 or more obstacles, outclassing any other trail run, fun run, Olympic run, bike race, or marathon. The top 3 male and top 3 female participants at the Guerilla Panther Challenge® must then brace themselves for the ultimate challenge in the series.

The Ultimate Guerilla Race
This highest tier of the series, the Ultimate Guerilla Race is a 24-hour endurance event with no real known distance or specific challenge count. The trail covers an undisclosed mix of obstacles, physical challenges, and
mental exercise. Finishers of this final leg of the series will comprise the elite circle of Guerilla Racers®, ready to take on the next battery of obstacles on the race course, or even outside and beyond it. The Ultimate Guerilla Race male and female winner will be sent to compete outside the country, all expense-paid.

The Guerilla Racer
The Guerilla Racer is one of sound mind and body, and an iron will to match. He/she is ready to face any challenge, and to even rise above it. The Guerilla Racer® knows how to have fun, even in the face of a difficult ordeal. The Guerilla Racer is a leader, an explorer and an achiever of new horizons, yet, a firm believer in ideals such as camaraderie and cooperation. A true team player, The Guerilla Racer®ensures that no one is left behind, not even race rivals or competitors. 

The Guerilla Team Challenge
The Guerilla Race Series welcomes group entries for each tier, as a unique team-building alternative to a picnic or a walk in the park. The race course is envisioned to be the most adventurous method for any group to develop team dynamics and cooperation, esprit-de-corps, and a collective sense of pride with each and every accomplishment or challenge completed. Sponsors who would want to become our partners might also be interested to be part of the remainder of our Guerilla Race Series.

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT 






NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CHANNEL RUNS STRONG WITH EARTH DAY RUN YEAR 5!


On April 27, 2014, National Geographic Channel (NGC) renews its commitment to the environment by celebrating this year’s Earth Day (which falls on April 22 globally) with another round of its wildly successful Earth Day Run. Now on its fifth year, Earth Day Run is expected to attract 12,000 running enthusiasts of all ages and fitness levels to participate for the good of the environment.


Earth Day Run has consistently been besting its record for number of participants, with last year’s expected number of 10,000 runners demolished by an actual registered 12,000 participants. NGC hopes to replicate that success for Earth Day Run 2014 by registering 12,000 runners in the 3K, 5K, 10K and 21K categories, including a new fifth category of 42K designed to draw the most physically fit and expert runners in the country. The event itself is considered one of the biggest runs in the Philippines.


This year, NGC is working once again with its environmental partner, World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), to make a solid difference in the Philippines’ environmental footprint and give sustainable livelihood opportunities for local communities. Last year, the two organizations used proceeds of the Earth Day Run to plant P1 million worth of fruit-bearing trees in the Abuan watershed in Isabela, in the Sierra Madre region. Besides partial reforestation of this important resource, local farmers were given the privilege to own and care for the trees as well as harvest their fruits for their income. In 2014, NGC promises to raise money  for WWF’s Bancas For The Philippines project, which aims to train fishermen affected by Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) last November 2013 in the making and use of fiberglass boats for artisanal fishing. These boats are designed to withstand the onslaught of typhoons to ensure that the fishermen can continue with their livelihood in any event.


WWF’s experts will train fishermen on site and help them build the fiberglass boats while reducing the use of sawn timber and plywood, in the hopes that the communities can produce one boat per day. Many fishermen were left with no sources of income when their boats were destroyed by Haiyan, and so this project is a significant step toward the rehabilitation of communities in Palawan, which was ravaged by the typhoon last November but slow to receive relief due to the sheer number of islands in central Philippines that needed to recover from the devastation. Earth Day Run 2014 aims to help these fishermen directly with the sharing of climate-smart technology that will help them recover their livelihood, as well as decrease the fishing pressure on our seas that have been heavily exploited by commercial fishing by promoting artisanal fishing for small-scale fishermen.


Earth Day Run uses recyclable materials for its race bibs and a “Zero Paper” registration process in the form of a Centralized Registration System, which National Geographic pioneered in the country. Participants can support the Haiyan rehabilitation efforts of NGC and WWF by signing up on www.natgeorun.com or visiting the sign-up booth at the Lower Ground floor of SM Aura from March 1 to April 20. Finishers of the longer races of 21K and 42K can not only take pride in their physical victory and willingness to help Haiyan survivors and the environment, but they will also each be getting a medal and finisher’s shirt to commemorate their triumph.
Nearly four months after Typhoon Haiyan, those affected by it still need so much help, and it has become important to sustain the public’s interest in their rehabilitation. Earth Day Run 2014 invites all runners to register and do their part while enjoying the health benefits of good exercise and unity in supporting the survivors of one of the most devastating natural disasters in the country’s history.
