Alaminos’ 4-day race set on Apr 25
“GALI-LANGOY” ECO-ADVENTURE RACE
ALAMINOS CITY–A unique athletic event dubbed “Gali-Langoy” Eco-Adventure Race will be staged for the first time here on April 25 to May 1 as the highlight of the city’s Pista’y Dayat celebration.
Gali-Langoy will be a triathlon of sorts with island-to-island swimming, parao (sailboat) racing and kayak racing as the featured sports.
Mayor Hernani Braganza, who initiated the project, said this is another event that he hopes will continue to attract tourists to the popular Hundred Islands National Park while promoting environmental protection.
The seven-stage competition spread over four days is open to teams composed of three swimmers, three parao racers and one kayak racer.
The race route for the three-relay adventure is: Stage 1- 323 meters (Lopez to Quezon Island, swimming); Stage 2- 862 meters (Quezon to Clave, swimming); Stage 3 – 507 meters (Clave to Children’s, swimming); Stage 4 – 1,034 meters (Children’s to Cagao, parao); Stage 5 – 5760 meters (Cagao to Romulo, parao); Stage 6 – 652 (Romulo to Governor’s, parao); Stage 7 – 3864 meters (Governor’s to Lucap Wharf, kayak).
Other events lined up for the 7-day period include island trekking at the Camantiles Islands, mangrove planting and kayaking (LGU Department Head Challenge), concerts, fireworks display, i-Guhit street painting contest, and coastal clean-up. (PIA Pangasinan)
