Experience in Color Manila Challenge 2017

Color Manila is known to be the best, conceptual, and really considering the ‘fun’ while running. Over 120,000 runners participated in its various franchises; CM Challenge, CM Blacklight Run, CM Costume Run, CM Glitter Run, and CM Classic Run. Literally, a jam-packed event, indeed.

But for this franchise, a unique type of fun run with lots of obstacles on the race route itself that’ll make the runners more challenged in overcoming it by skipping, sliding, crawling, climbing, and the highlight of the event, running awash in color. Obstacles includes Wall Over, Inverted Wall, Wall Thru, Slippery Wall, Wall Under, Inflatable Slide, Inflatable Tire Skip, Military Crawl, and Spider Web. But after all, Color Manila always end its event by a Color Festival, where runners get to throw all their color powders from the color packets given and at the same time, dance to the latest and modern beats.

This event started early on a Sunday morning (July 30, 2017) with a startup exercise. And when everybody’s already stretched up, the hosts started to call the runners by category to go start running after the gun shot. For the run, it was really fun. Enjoying the moment with your family and friends, even others’ pet, and the idea of running.

But for instance, runners got clogged or got queued in line due to number of runners that wants to try the obstacle (because it’s the real meaning and purpose of this run/event). But I really find it so challenging ‘coz others really tried and exerted their effort just to surpass the given obstacle/s.

Overall, I really had fun and it’s such a relief that I succeeded all the obstacles and finished the run together with all the runners who joined the said event.  I really enjoyed seeing them covered with colors, having fun doing obstacles, and just seizing the day under the sun.  I accepted the challenge, now I say, “Challenge Completed! Thanks, Color Manila.” Looking forward for more concepts and ideas to be discovered by the organizer of this colorful run.

Kudos to all the organizer and staff of Color Manila.

‘Til the next run!
