Sports | Athletes Unleashed at the Spartan Race in Subic
Spartan Race preparation has been made prior the race date September 15, 2018. The obstacles were all set, and the venue is all ready for the spartan racers. Plan B was set by Spartan Race Philippines for the day before the race as a back-up plan in case Super Typhoon Ompong unleashes its power on the 1st race date.
Early morning of September 15, 2018, around 200 spartan racers arrived at the race starting point for registration. But due to the bad weather condition, Spartan Race Philippines organizers decided to postpone the race for the next day and it was then arranged as a whole day event.
Carbo Loading Dinner event was accommodated by Camayan Beach Resort and Hotel as a way to help racers prep up for the race. It was done on the night of September 14 and 15.
