The event caters to all
environmentalist groups that take to heart
challenges for the cause of environmental awareness. At the start
of the race, briefing and mechanics of the competition were given
by Haribon and Cycler’s Advocates
(CYCAD).
The race route began at
Quezon City Memorial Circle
and ended up at the Makati Park. The participants passed
different locations which are known for their fresh green
sceneries including UP Diliman, Ateneo de Manila,
Marikina Riverbank, La Mesa Dam,
Fairview,
Wild Life Manila Center, Arroceros Park, Luneta, Manila Film
Center, Libingan ng mga Bayani in Taguig, Orchidarium and the last
leg of the race, Makati Park. Every green area had certain
challenge such as finding the scientific
name of birds, orchids and trees, solving
puzzles of pictures of birds and
answering environment trivias. The race took about 12
hours of biking including stop overs to complete the different
challenges.
With the
success of this endeavor, Haribon Foundation is now looking
forward to the participation of SSC
EnviSoc next year. The activity served as a driving force for the
participants to continue their crusade for environmental awareness
and protection.
