When you think about exciting
games, the kind that keeps your heart racing and adrenalin pumping, obstacle
course will naturally come into mind. Today, the exciting obstacle course race
will be elevated into a higher level, wherein competitive athletes can show
strength of endurance through various courses in three major races in the
upcoming ALLIANZ CONQUER set to happen next month.
The first of its kind, Allianz PNB Life
Insurance together with Conquer Challenge Philippines will work side by side in
promoting obstacle course race (OCR) which is a growing sporting event in the
region. With the upcoming Allianz Conquer race events, OCR will definitely
become the ultimate fun and challenging sports that will soon be recognized
internationally.
The first race for Allianz
Conquer is slated on May 13 at the Vermosa in Daang Hari, Imus, Cavite.
Currently with over 500 registered entries, Conquer Challenge president Rob
Afzelius said that they could reach the 1,000 mark by next month. Tentative
schedules for race 2 and 3 are set to happen around August and December.
At the recent media launch of
Allianz Conquer held last April 6, Rob Afzelius stated “I believe that this is
an evolution of adventure racing and other sports, with something higher and
acceptable,”
“Obstacle Race Course is a sport
that has started to gather a strong following in the Philippines. We believe
this sport can inspire Filipinos to take a new challenge and embrace it without
fear,” said Allianz PNB Life CEO Alexander Grenz in yesterday’s media launch.
The challenging sport, which is being
pushed for inclusion in next year’s Southeast Asian Games, is the latest in Philippines
to be supported by Allianz.
“It’s another step we’re taking
here in Philippines. Last year, we started our National Youth Futsal Cup and
selected players for the Allianz Junior Football Camp in Bali and later to
Munich, which was a great success and very well received. And now, we’re very
happy to do the same for Conquer Challenge,” said Alexander Grenz.
Participants can join the elite
division which is the Conquer
Challenge Power Race that comes with 7 KM run and 20 obstacles race.
The open category is great for
beginners with 3KM stretch featuring 12 obstacles. Kids as young as 7 years old
racing through a 7 KM stretch that has at least 7 types of obstacles.
The May 13 obstacle course race is
the highlight of the company’s “Day of Courage” for Allianz PNB. On the same
day, the Philippine Heart Association Run at SM By the Bay in SM MOA and the
Bayanihan Walk in Singapore for Pinoy OFWs are scheduled to take place.
