Columbia ECO Trail Run: Pinatubo

Columbia Eco Trail is a Trail Running Event organized by Columbia. This event is held in the different provinces of the Philippines. Each Trail is different kind of thrill and challenge. This is the first Eco Trail Event that will be held in Mt. Pinatubo.

Columbia has always been an advocate of local tourism and the environment. These activities do not only highlight the beauty of each province but also drives local tourism. Columbia organizes low-impact (on the environment), adrenalin pumping adventures that will be enjoyed by the adventurous and weekend warriors as well.

Thank goodness we made it, first 20 registrants at SM Mega Mall today, (4 slots left as of 11:30AM). I went there yesterday to register Myself and Mai right after I saw their posting wishing that we can be included in the first 20 for free shuttle ride. In my dismay you cannot register other person since they (Columbia) require participants to sign a waiver in the store only (you need to be physically present to register your-self). They are quite particular on it since accident might occur in trail runs they wanted to be sure that participants did understand and personally singed the waiver which I think is fair enough. Also for the slots not to be sold-out to a certain group only.

Actual Singlet design (Front)

Back (No print) I wish they could have been more creative here.

Upon registration, singlet and bib are already available. Also a 50% off on selected shoes on the day you register but you need to avail on that day/moment only. The 20% discount coupon is valid  up to November 13.

Timing chip is attached at the back of the Bib, powered by STRIDER the same timing chip used by Merrel Adventure Run last June. Good choice of timing chip.

Free ride (Two way) are  only allotted for the first 20 registrants of any category per Store. (Could have been best if they will offer an option to pay for a ride. Since going at the site is pretty tough. Kindly consider that Columbia.
