Filinvest City, Gearing up For An Action-Packed Summer


It’s that time of the year when schools close down, the sun rises extra early and sets later than ever. Yes, it’s summer once again and there is no better place to play than in Filinvest City, where action and adventure can be found in every corner! 

Stride and Ride

For its growing running and biking community, Filinvest City gives more reasons to hit the streets as it implements Carless Sundays allowing these enthusiasts to freely use the city’s tree-lined avenues for their favorite fun activities and workout from 5 am to 10 am. During this time period, The City Loop covering one side of Corporate, Commerce, Parkway and Filinvest Avenues will be closed off, while the other side of these streets will accommodate two-way traffic. 

For the more adventurous types, different biking communities are currently enjoying the thrill of exploring a newly-expanded rugged, open trail inside the satellite city. These trails, casually developed over time through frequent use by enthusiasts, have now been expanded to its current total distance of 9.5km with the help of different biking and event organizations like MTB Addicts, X- Events, Sabak, Bikeline, Alta Presion Events (APE), and the most recent, Executive Off-road Racing Association (EXO). 

Truly a joint community effort, these trails will soon have directional signage and markers sponsored by The Primer Group, the company behind the brands of Columbia, Teva, Nathan Sports, among others. This soon will lead to The Starting Line’s free trail run clinic for newbies on Saturday, May 11. 

As for those who can’t get enough of the summer outdoor fun, they can register at the XC series for a day of trail bike racing made possible by GranTrail Cycles and EXO. 

And the action-packed summer will get even hotter as Filinvest City partners with a popular men’s brand in bringing Xterra Mud Run. This installation of the world’s premiere trail event series, Xterra, will be held on May 26. In this race, runners will be able to put their physical skills and stamina to the test as they face the challenge of conquering obstacles with varying difficulty. 

Sun and Fun 

All these can be experienced in complete ease and safety, thanks to round-the-clock security and 24/7 accessibility. 

Anyone who’s looking for a summer to remember doesn’t need to go far. At Filinvest City, the action is always sizzling hot and the fun is just yours for the taking!

Celebrate The Outdoors At Filinvest City

A new haven rises south of Manila. Filinvest City opened new possibilities for every runners and bikers alike with their new trail route that winds inside the city. This new urban haven away from the noise of the city is gearing up and aims to be the next sporting capital of the south.

Together with other runner/bloggers, I was privileged to run their newly extended trail route, thanks to Filinvest City Head Don Ubaldo, for touring us in their playground. The route extends 9km long and winds inside the Filinvest City itself. The route is a mixture of trail and concrete. My device measured an elevation gain of 34m with a maximum of 40m.

The experience was a blast. I had fun doing a trail run within a city. Gear up and head south, Filinvest City awaits you. Celebrate its beauty. Celebrate the outdoors.

Here's the press release from Filinvest City.
