Through heavy rain, sudden downpours, and slippery trails, the first open invitation UTCP Reconnaissance is succesfully completed today with 25 kms preview of what the mountains can bring.
Congratulations and thank you to everyone who showed up, kept moving, and embraced the conditions.
After the run came a well-earned reward of hot sauna, steam bath, and the pools of Itogon. RD Louie also led an interactive trail talk with each one sharing their experiences on mandatory gears, approach of trail runners on varying weather conditions such as today and during hot weather, and the expectation of participants at the Ultra Trail Cordillera Philippines this October. Of course, that is including the exciting part: food, raffle, and free merch to today's participants courtesy of Aid Station Cafe and UTCP.๐
For those who missed today's reconnaissance, it doesn't end here. We have more activities that you can join as we count down to the Ultra Trail Cordillera Philippines this October, or you can register in any of the four categories Saleng 100k, Solibao 50k, Tayaw 25k, and Dalan 10k to experience UTCP.
Ready to take on the challenge? Registration is open at run.ultratrailcordilleraph.com
See you on the trails!
