Montalban Mountain Run Series

📢 𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐓 𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓: 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐛𝐚𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐑𝐮𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐋𝐞𝐠 𝟐

Due to the Montalban Tourism Office advisory temporarily suspending outdoor activities because of the incoming Southwest Monsoon (Habagat), Leg 2 is officially shifting to a Virtual Run.

We are truly heartbroken. We know the time, effort, and resources you dedicated to preparing for the trails this weekend, but your safety will always come first.

While we can’t hit the trails together, we hope you’ll still join us virtually by running your distance at your chosen location and pace.

We’re rallying the rest of the community to join this movement as we prepare for a relief operation on August 15, 2026.
