Incoming: Salomon City Trail Manila 2015

Posted by on 26. August 2015

I’ve been a fixture in Salomon Races for the past few years. Why? It’s because they have an innovative way of presenting their trails. While the Xtrail, deals on the extreme side of the trails, city trail is a feel-good, scenic and moderately challenging race. It replicates the intricacies of the trail using the regular obstacle in the city like uneven cobblestone paths, mud tracks at the sidewalks and yes, stairs.  The rich heritage in Intramuros make every step in  the race such a visual adventure.  Enjoy a moderately challenging and visually enticing race by joining Salomon City Trail happening on September 6, 2015 at Intramuros. #‎MakeEveryRunAnAdventure‬

Salomon City Trail 2014

I joined the 12 K category of Salomon City Trail last year and that gave me 4 different scenic looks at Intramuros.  It came with a festive and relaxed environment that you’d enjoy both the run and the heritage attractions of Intramuros.  It also brought in the challenges you get from the trails. You get to navigate uneven cobblestone paths and climbs along the famed walls of Intramuros.  You get to pass by some mud tracks at the side of the road as you go through the exterior of Intramuros. You get also your share of stairs as you climb up and down the walls of Intramuros.  That’s what I like about the City Trail concept.  It gives you the challenges of the trails in the convenience of the city. Salomon City Trail is happening again on September 6, 2015 at Intramuros with 6K and 12K category to choose from.

CITYTRAIL is Salomon’s approach to everyday running in the city. Recognized for technical leadership in trail running footwear, Salomon built CITYTRAIL as a way to escape running on the same route everyday. It began with an idea of re-creating the kinds of terrain and surface variations that is found in trail running, but in an urban landscape. Even the most avid trail runners want to vary their routine- a staircase, a steep hill, a bridge, or maybe linking different surfaces through a park, it just makes running more interesting.

The Media had a chance to test the City Trail X Scream 3D

The CITY TRAIL RUN is a global event that has been held in Europe, United States, and parts of Asia (Malaysia, Singapore, Hongkong, and Taiwan) to encourage runners to make their own trails in the city. This September 6, Salomon will take urban dwellers back to Intramuros, the heart of the Metro, the oldest City in the Philippines, perfect for an adventure run & rich with culture and heritage. The Citytrail Race Route will include running on different surfaces—pathways, roads, sidewalks, alleyways, bridges, stairs.

Suited for Citytrail Running, Salomon presents the X-SCREAM 3D and the SENSE MANTRA 3 footwear models, which combine the technology we’ve come to expect from Salomon. As the #1 brand in trail running, the same technology is infused in these Citytrail models—to bring out the best performance in running. Providing excellent foothold and comfort, they are constructed to have a firm grip on both hard and loose surfaces, perfect for varying terrains in the City.  The City Trail running collection of Salomon merges the convenience of a running shoes that can give you proper traction on trails and still retain speed on the road.

Salomon CITYTRAIL encourages all to find trails wherever they are, even in an urban environment. Step out of your routine, connect with your surroundings, and rediscover the joy of running.
