ith a venue that can take your breath away and a strong trail running community, R.O.X. is proud to have headlined the roster of sponsors for this year’s Mapawa Trail Ru in Cagayan De Oro City. To further promote the beauty of Cagayan De Oro, R.O.X. has made it one of the locations for its stores, which aim to assist travelers, nature lovers, and outdoor enthusiasts on their outdoor endeavors while also sparking interest in shoppers who are yet to discover the beauty of the country’s natural resources. As such, R.O.X. is happy to have taken a big part in this year’s Mapawa Run – its second time to sponsor the event. To be held on October 26 at the Mapawa Nature Park in Cagayan De Oro City, the reason behind R.O.X.’s big push for this event was having seen the beauty of the outdoors in CDO, as well as the growing community of trail runners, it was just natural for it to rally behind such an endeavor. In addition, having seen the passion of the people behind Mapawa Nature Park and its Trail Run, there was no way that they would miss becoming a part of such a great cause. The Mapawa Trail Run is a trail running event hosted inside the protected 2,500-hectare Mapawa Nature

Park. What used to be a private property of the late Vice-President Emmanuel Pelaez and his family, the Mapawa Nature Park used to be a farm and a vacation place. Later on, the family decided to convert the property to a forest reserve. It now houses a variety of endemic plants, birds, and other wildlife. It has also been said to be the reason why the Malasag area of CDO was protected during the Typhoon Sendong. The Mapawa Nature Park is open to the public to enjoy different activities like rappelling, trekking, camping, horseback riding, wildlife observation, among many others. Characterized as a “green race”, event organizers did not provide paper cups for the race, which is why runners were expected to bring their own hydration bottles. The Mapawa Run offered distances of 11K, 22K, and 42K. Interested participants may register in R.O.X. Centrio or through http://aktib.ph/919-r-o-x-mapawatrail-marathon-2014

The Mapawa Run was co-presented by Salomon, technical team is Everest Outdoors, hydration partners Summit Mineral Water and Gatorade, official outfitter 8a. Other sponsors include, the Municipality of Cagayan De Oro, Black Diamond, Nalgene, Real X Gear, Sea to Summit, Jollibee, Uni Fruitti, Pineapple Crumble, 3Trav, Duka Bay Resort, Jollibee, VitWater, Rural Bank of Medina, and Ayala Centrio, Ayala Malls.

Recreational Outdoor eXchange or R.O.X. continues to create waves in the outdoor industry through its unique programs concerning people and the environment. It is also the largest outdoor sports and recreation superstore in Southeast Asia. Deriving satisfaction in providing the best tools for outdoor enthusiasts as well as subsequently providing outdoor experiences to further promote its various causes, what R.O.X. wants is to simply get everyone outside and experience the outdoors first hand.
