My First Team Run - Chris Sport's Epic Relay 250

Last June 9 - 10, 2012, the team composed of ten (10) members coming from different walks of life dubbed as Pinoy Fitness "Eco Runners" conquered the latest edition of Chris Sports Epic Relay 250km Run.  This epic run started at Lighthouse Marina Resort, Subic "then go to the hilly terrain of historical Bataan and the breathtaking uphill climb of Mt. Samat to the small communities of historical coastal Zambales and back to Subic Bay : non-stop running day and night - relay style." -  www.eccp.com

The following are details of the Run:

Race Route: Subic - Bataan - Subic - Zambales- Subic
Terrain: Easy - Moderate - Difficult - Very Difficult

Starting Point & Finishing Line: Subic Bay 

                                                      Total number of hours allowed in the race: Maximum 40 hours

  

Results of the relay by category

We did finish strong with no injury and with a time of 24 hrs and 57 minutes, 15 hours and 3 mins ahead of the cut off time. Because of this, we placed second overall in the Mixed - Group Category or ranked tenth overall based on the released time. This achievement is not bad for us as first timers.

For making this event possible, I would like to thank Sir Jeff Lo  - the brainchild of this team. Thank you Sir for your unwavering support and confidence for our team. I would like also to thank the support and encouragement shown by Ms Cheryl Castaneda and Ms Rachel Jose from start to the finish line. Worth mentioning too are the drivers - Arnold and Bong - for guiding us accident-free on the road. Of course our sponsors - Ms. Mariel of Nathan and Ms Christine Majadillas for the Gu Gel! Thanks also to Ryan Moral for the photography and to Ryan Maranan for always there to support and give cheers to us while on the road.
