Trail Run Redefined at TNF100 Philippines

The North Face (TNF) conquers the heat on the nation’s Summer Capital, Baguio City. Runners from all over the Philippines took up the challenge head on for the most rigorous ultra-marathon in the country held last April 24 – 25, 2010 all over Baguio-Benguet. The event was well attended by over 800 strong participants who suited up in their North Face gears for the occasion. TNF Fleece jackets, bionic vests, hats & beanies, daypacks, belt bags, shoes, and hydration packs were put to the test as racers exhibited their endurance to match their gears.

Various teams from Laguna, CDO, Cebu, Davao, Benguet, and Metro Manila rallied to Burnham Park Base Camp to support their members at gun-start for the 100K and 50K categories which started as early as 3:00am of April 24. More participants came to follow the trail the next day for the 22K and 11K categories which culminated to a momentous awarding ceremony joined by the Hon. Peter “Ray” Bautista, Mayor for Baguio City, Primer Group of Companies’ COO Mr. Jacky Quintos, DOTC-CAR representatives, sponsors, media guests, participants and guests.

Tons of freebies were also given away courtesy of The North Face and sponsors: Nalgene, Sea to Summit, Res Toe Run, Nature Valley and Marathon Max, through various games and raffle draws conducted. For 100K category finishers, exclusive wooden plaques were awarded showcasing the skill and craftsmanship of the Cordillera’s artists. All Top 10 finishers per category, for both men’s and women’s divisions, were acknowledged and awarded with special gift packs, medals, and cash prizes.
