"on a shoestring"

I love trail running and I believe its a must for every runner to experience the thrill of running on the trails. My first race experience was last year’s Merrell Adventure Race where I ran 15K. As I said in the race review it was PUNISHING & HARDCORE (and I LOVE IT)!

So on its second year, the Merrell Adventure Run again leads us through dirt roads, flowing streams, river crossing, rock scrambling, and uphill & downhill trails in a new but equally challenging & breathtaking race course at Timberland Heights, San Mateo, Rizal.
