Let’s admit it, running can sometimes be dreadfully boring! But it doesn’t always have to, especially if you’re running on picturesque locations. I believe that the best way to explore a place is on foot, and here are some of the most scenic places I’ve seen through running.

When you least expect it, a race comes along that would just give you a weekend you won’t soon forget. Such is the case of AyalaLand’s EXPLORAC: an invitational trail run which was unexpectedly free! Here’s my long overdue story of my great weekend in Porac, Pampanga.
AyalaLand will be having a trail run very, very soon (as in Saturday, June 08, 2013) to be held for the first time in Porac, Pampanga, called EXPLORAC Invitational Trail Run. More details to come very soon!

Pinatubo has to offer (or like me who’s quite eager to return), here’s your chance via Columbia Eco Trail Run.
