The North Face in Nuvali

Before I even started running , I have already summited several of our country’s mountains. So whenever there is a trail run on the race calendar, I really try my best to participate in it.

The North Face trail run in Nuvali is one of the best trail runs I have ever joined due to the following :

  • Cheap registration fee.
  • Near Metro Manila (no need to bring a tent or get a hotel room)
  • Shuttle Service was provided (although I didn’t avail of this service)
  • Nice race distance – although it would’ve been better if they had a 50k category  (something to look forward to in TNF Baguio)
  • Ample water stations
  • Lots of marshalls

TNF and PUR really did a great job with this one; the trail wasn’t that difficult but it gave people like me who haven’t hit the trail in quite a long time just the right dose of endorphins :)

Congratulations to TNF and PUR for a job well done.

 

The 22k starting line. The race started at 5:45 am instead of 5:15.

George of Team Hardcore – he covered more than 22KM as he was running back and forth the trail. IDOL!!!

Nice view! Never mind the runner, hehehe

This pair used to be color gray ….

Nice stairs :)

There were a few of these rock formations along the trail … I miss trekking.
