WHAT: Agno Coastal Run 2018
WHERE: Agno, Pangasinan
WHEN: 2018-10-21
RACE ORGANIZER : Philippine Skyrunning Association
Runners may choose from two distances: 22km and 7km. Both are beginner-friendly and take in beautiful sections of the beach with their brightly colored fishing boats and undeveloped coastal hills. The 22km category stretches from the beach up to the Pinsal Falls, rice paddies, Mango and Duhat orchards and unspoilt trails. The courses have been designed to be varied and minimize the amount of time runners have be on the road. As far as the organizers and the Tourist Authority are aware, this is the first running event to be held in the area.
The event will be based at Villa Rosalina, a coastal property that boasts large mango and coconut orchards 300 meters from the sea in Barangay Aloleng. Camping will be available on site with facilities.
The program starts on Saturday 20th October in the afternoon with registration, followed by an evening meal and activities. Registration will start at 3pm and finish at 9pm. On Sunday there will be a pre-run and a post run meal, followed by a prize giving ceremony.
The runs will be marshalled and water will be provided on course.
Close by are some of the iconic sights of Pangasinan including the Umbrella Rocks, Rena Point, Abagatanen beach, Simmumbaan Cave and Bangol Crags. The church in Agno, St Catherine of Alexandria, was built in 1610 making it one of the oldest in the country. Slightly further away you could visit the Hundred Islands National Park and take in the giant clams at the Bolinao Marine Laboratory.
