Make every run an adventure

Salomon, the world’s #1 in trail running, creates an outdoor interface in the urban setting—by bringing the trails to the city. Salomon began with an idea of re-creating different terrains and surface variations that is found in trail running, but in an urban landscape. Even the most avid trail runners want to vary their routine- a staircase, a steep hill, a bridge, different surfaces through a park, it just makes running more interesting. This adventure-filled run has become a global event- the Salomon City Trail Run, and has come to the Philippines the 2nd time around.

The SALOMON CITYTRAIL RUN MANILA 2015 was held on September 6, 4 pm, at the much esteemed and culturally rich site of Intramuros, Manila. Participants of this event were varied, men and women of different ages who wanted to experience Salomon’s goal to “elevate your run” in an urban landscape.

Unlike your average road runs, this race provides unconventional challenges like running up the stairs, bridges and ramps are included to simulate the different foot strides that one encounters in trail running. Together with Intramuros’ landscape and rich heritage, the Salomon City Trail Manila takes urban dwellers through the Country’s history by running and touring simultaneously.

This race was a green run, meaning no disposables were given throughout the duration of the race. There were hydration stations powered by Gatorade, situated strategically throughout the course, where runners can refill their self-provided hydration bottles and belts.

There were two race distances, the 6 km and the 12 km. The top 3 finishers in the men’s and women’s divisions were awarded accordingly. There were also special prizes that were given away from Salomon, Suunto and ROX at the end of the race. The cut off time was 2 hours, and despite the tired look on the runners’ faces, the smiles at the finish line proved that all very much enjoyed the scenery and the experience of Salomon City Trails in Intramuros.
