SUBSCRIBESmart Amazing Race
Last Saturday, I was one of the embedded photographers for our Smart Mountaineering Club’s annual Smart Amazing Race held in UP Diliman which is actually based on the popular reality TV show. The yearly activity is done for the club’s applicants as part of their initiation activities that include three major climbs spread around four months.
This year is the second time it was held in the sprawling university grounds, had five competing teams of around five members each looking for clues hidden in various areas. They have to do tasks related to mountaineering activities like pitching a tent, loading a backpack, orienteering, ropemanship as well as following trail signs.
I was assigned the pink team who won second place and really, I did had a hard time following them with all the running around. What’s more, we went back to one area as one member forgot the map! Anyway, it was fun reliving the race as I was also a participant two years ago when I was an applicant of the club.
While the group was winding down at noon, I took portrait photos of most of the members and applicants. The full album is uploaded at my Facebook.
