3 ESSENTIAL RUNNING TIPS
Tip No 1: Dress for Performance
Some seasoned Trailblazers will tell you that what you choose to
wear to run this race makes a big difference, especially in the
jungle. Quick pointers, wear all terrain shoes for better grip
and balance. Long pants/tights with long sleeved tops will help
minimise cuts while running through the jungle. Also, consider
wearing gloves to improve grip on ropes and protect hands while
traversing obstacles. Share tips & exchange your experiences
challenging the terrain with others!
Tip No 2: Have a Green Mind
Going-green this year means we have to think a little harder on
the details of organising this event. From the utensils to food
packing, water supply, trail & field construction, we try to
stick with green friendly options which sometimes have proven to
be limited. Going-green can only be truly realised if we have
participation & involvement from all runners, runners that we
believe are ready to chip in and play a part no matter how
small.
HERE IS HOW YOU CAN HELP:
-
Do not litter, especially not in the jungle trails. Pick up
and dispose rubbish into correct recycling bins that will be
provided around the event venue.
-
No disposable plastic bottles will be provided or allowed
into the jungle trail. We will provide refillable water bottles
during the pre-race registration. Make use of water refilling
stations before entering and after exiting
the jungle trail.
-
Help ensure that our F&B cutlery/utensils are placed back in
order after use as no plastic disposable utensils are provided.
-
Get your non-running family members to participate in our
Scavenger Hunt and Tree Planting activities scheduled just after
the flag-offs on race day. Limited space, so do pre-register
with us at our booths.
-
Lastly, adopt a green attitude and heart for the race.
Tip No 3: Know the Run
As with Genting Trailblazer of past years, all participants will
need to register for the run, Registration times are 1pm – 6pm,
1st Nov (Sat) at the Kenari Poolside Lounge and 7am – 730am, 2nd
Nov (Sun) at the Awana Football Field.
FTAAA has introduced another mandatory requirement for Genting
Trailblazer this year. All registered
participants must report on race day (2 Nov) at the Awana Football Field Reporting
counter. Participants who fail to do so will be disqualified
from the race.
We suggest that all participants download & print the Awana
Football Field setup sketch for reference on exact location of
relevant tents & counters.
As promised also, the trail this year will be a notch more
exciting, all 14kms of it! Download and study our trail map and
be better prepared to take on our route. A race briefing will be
held at the Kenari Poolside Lounge, 5pm, 1st Nov for those who
want to be better prepared.
