Men’s Health All-Terrain Race

Friday, March 2, 2007

Venue: Timberland Heights, San Mateo
Date: May 6, 2007

PRE-PAYMENT AND REGISTRATION

Race fees for the All-Terrain Race are as follows:

On April 2, Men's Health will start accepting registration fees at Summit Media. The office is at Level 1, Robinsons Galleria Mall. Registrants will still be accepted on race day, but late registration fee will be P350.

Upon payment of registration fee, participant will receive his race number. The participant needs to bring the race number on race day, or else he will be disqualified.

TRAIL RUN

Course Description: Approximately 9 km. The route is a mixture of dirt, gravel, and singletrack trails. The course features a lot of climbing, but most of all, some spectacular views.
Suggested Equipment: Trail running shoes, quick-dry clothing, hydration packs (although there will be at least 2 water stations), caps, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
Race: All participants will be released at the same time, regardless of category. The route will be marked using flags, bunting, and banners. Directional and timing marshals will also be placed along the route.

MOUNTAIN BIKE

Course Description: Approximately 18 km. You will maneuver on dirt roads, technical singletrack, and a few cemented areas. The ascents are tough and the trails, tricky, leading to a fast finish.
Suggested Equipment: Lightweight, high volume tires (2.0"- 2.1") with good traction for dry weather, or a thinner, mud shedding tire (1.75" to 1.9") in case it gets wet. Hydration packs are recommended, and helmets are required.
Race: All participants will be released at the same time regardless of category. In some cases though, the organizers may deem it fit to divide the race into waves. The route will be marked using flags, bunting, and banners. Timing marshals will be placed along the route as well. No water stations will be provided. There will also be no outside support within the race course, although racers can provide assistant to each other if needed.
