The Unfinished Business
We know we can do it, our trail runners can do it so we are making our team stronger with more challenging trail running races. We were that close to winning an International trail running event with finishing 7th in both the 50k and 26k categories against 35 countries participating and over 1,150 participants with elite runners going for the win in the recent trail running race event in Hongkong the prestigious MSIG Sai Kung 50k Hk series.
Here’s How You Can Become Member of Pimco-Tanay PH Trail Running Team Pimco Sporting Events as we try to get the trophy next time we participate in the same trail running race event in March 2015 but we will make sure the team will remain competitive and strong. To do so the team must send the strongest runners of the team. And here’s how we invite you to get the chance to be in the team.
1. Participate in the NTDR III Trilogy Championship. The Trilogy Champions of 10k, 21k, 50k both men and women division will automatically become member of the Team for Final Selection of who will represent the Team.
2. If on the other hand, you failed to make it to NTDR III Trilogy Championship or you feel you need more training to achieve competitive level, there is another way you can still be chosen to become member of the Team, you may register in the Amazing Run2Run Adventure – the first reality race event in trail running. If you believe you will need more trail running exposure to become more competitive, this is recommended. The Champions of Silver Cup, Gold Cup, and Platinum Cup will automatically become member of the Team.
3. The first members of the team batch 2014 (Manolito Divina, Juniery Villalo, and Lex Ahongon) if they are still available may join the new team will be allowed to participate in the Final Selection as veterans of the Hongkong series.
4. The Final selection of who from the Champions will finally go to MSIG HK50 series will be made in January 2015 after the 3rd and Final Leg of the NTDR III Trilogy Championship. Members of the Team will be given time to train in preparation for the final selection, the so called Race of Champions which will be held in the Last Sunday of January 2015. The winners in this race, considered to be the Champions of Champions, will go to MSIG HK50 and will represent the team in 13k/26k/50k for both the men and women division – 3 men and 3 women, all six will travel in our next participation in 2015 (Our 50k representative must try to break the 5 hours “barrier” since the new course champion finished the race at 4hrs and 51 minutes. While the women should break the 6 hours time.)
5. The rest of the team members will be reserved if any of those chosen will fail to make it to the competition, the team will pick from the reserved in case. Also they can continue to improve as all the team members will still be included in the pool for continuing training for more foreign competitions. Should any of the team member in the 50k wins the MSIG HK50, the same will be sent to the world racing events in France in 2016. This is our ultimate goal for the Philippines to be represented in the world Championships.
