Question: Is there any place in Southeast Asia where, during a single 21km run, you see tranvias, disappearing canons, a war memorial, a museum of World War II regalia and memorabilia, the ruins of a cinema, a Spanish light house, ruins of barracks and an army hospital, the Pier Dock where a famous general uttered his famous message “I Shall Return”, a 835 feet in length , 24 feet wide and 18 feet tall tunnel where ghosts seems to roam around during the night, a concentration camp and beautiful forest trails—all located in one tiny island?
Answer: No–unless you’re in the Philippines in a small island called Corregidor (The Rock).
The Rock is everything you’ve ever heard and more–a small tadpole-shaped island that has been the site of the fiercest battles of World War 2 between the Allied forces (Filipinos, Americans) and the Japanese Imperial Army.
So, imagine running through a spectacular outdoor World War 2 museum where remnants of artillery and war buildings still stand mightily proud of its past, battered but not out! Check out the great names: Topside, Battery Way, Battery Crockett, Mile-Long Barracks, Malinta Tunnel, Lorcha Dock and more. You’ll find them all in the Rock!
Be prepared to be enthralled when you run the 2nd Corregidor International Marathon this coming January 17, 2015!
