REGISTRATION PERIOD: March 24 until April 06 only.
*Participants who availed the Bundle Promo during the STRIDER event (Leg 1) are no longer required to register manually. Kindly send us a private message (via FB or IG) to declare your readiness to participate in this event.

EVENT MECHANICS
1. The main objective of the event is to enable and encourage participants to reach different locations through running.
2. To achieve the PATHFINDER patch, a runner must accomplish ONE of the following:
OPTION A: Complete a total raw mileage of 250 KM.
OPTION B: Complete a minimum of 230 KM in raw mileage and obtain the required Area Points (AP) to reach 250 KM.
3. Each Area Point (AP) is equivalent to one (1) bonus kilometer added to a participant’s total mileage (1 AP = 1 KM).
4. Runners who opt to complete the PATHFINDER using a combination of raw mileage and Area Points must accumulate sufficient AP to reach a total of 250 KM.
Example # 1: 240 KM (raw mileage) + 10 AP = 250 KM
Example # 2: 230 KM (raw mileage) + 20 AP = 250 KM
Example # 3: 245 KM (raw mileage) + 5 AP = 250 KM
5. Different PATHFINDER locations grant varying AP bonuses. Refer to the list below:
Marikina Freedom Park > UP Oblation, Quezon City = 2 AP
Marikina Freedom Park > Le Blanc Hotel, Antipolo City = 3 AP
Marikina Freedom Park > EDSA Shrine, Pasig City = 2 AP
Marikina Freedom Park > Timberland Heights, San Mateo = 4 AP
Marikina Freedom Park > Araneta Coliseum, Quezon City = 2 AP
Marikina Freedom Park > Ayala Triangle, Makati City = 3 AP
Marikina Freedom Park > Luneta Park, Manila City = 4 AP
*For example, if a runner starts at Marikina Freedom Park and finishes at the U.P. Oblation, with a recorded distance of 10 KM, they will receive a 2 AP bonus. The total PATHFINDER mileage for that run will be 12 KM (10 KM + 2 AP).
6. Each area awards bonus mileage based on the effort required to reach that location. The maximum number of Area Points that may be accumulated for the PATHFINDER event is 20 AP.
7. To qualify for an AP bonus, all runs must START at Marikina Freedom Park. Any run that DOES NOT START at Marikina Freedom Park will NOT be eligible for the AP bonus.
8. A runner may earn Area Points from each designated location only ONCE. Repeating Area Points is not allowed.
9. First-time participants (without a STRIDER patch) must follow the mileage mechanics of the STRIDER event. The PATHFINDER mechanics apply only to participants who already have a STRIDER patch. First-time participants will NOT be allowed to register in both events simultaneously.
