Watch the 2018 RUN 2 ME teaser

Mt. Ayaas FKT Trail Challenge

Pinoy Trails  and HOKA One One Trail Series presents the 4th Edition of Run 2 Me featuring one of our favorite trail playgrounds, Mt. Ayaas.  It has the captivating early morning sea of clouds that blends perfectly with the cool fresh air of Montalban mountain ranges.

Aside from Master Lao’s Bday celebration. This year’s event provides a new adventure & twist to all participants called the Fastest known time (FKT) Challenge wherein top finishers for both categories will win special prizes. Mount Ayaas will definitely give you a lung-busting experience with it’s assault and distinct trail route. Newbies, hardcore, road and trail runners are invited to conquer the friendly, well-established yet challenging trails on the uphills and downhills of Sitio Wawa, Montalban Rizal this September 02, 2018. The event is composed of three (3) categories, 21km, 10km and a new 2km kiddie run.

Background & Info.:

Major jumpoff: Brgy. Wawa, Rodriguez, Rizal
Minor jumpoff: Brgy. Mascap, Rodriguez, Rizal
LLA: 14°45′3.38′′ N, 121°12′27.5′ 627 MASL (+570)

Mt. Ayaas is a well-known outdoor destinations of Rodriguez, Rizal. The first half involves mostly river trekking, and the difficulty is highly weather-dependent, as the rocks are very slippery when wet – and the water level is high such that it is inevitable that you yourself will get wet. Past the river trek, the trail becomes more inclined, passing through woodlands and a final assault up grassland slopes to reach the summit. With its distinctive features, ease of access, and relatively challenging trails, Mt. Ayaas is truly another compelling reason to visit Montalban which also considered as one of famous & fast haven for hikers and trail runners.
