The 5K Oblation and Heartbreak (Hill) Route

Click the map to enlarge

The run starts along the Academic Oval, at the corner of Apacible St. and Osmena Ave., near Melchor Hall (the College of Eng'g).

• Run straight along the Academic Oval -- follow it around the corner till you reach the Oblation.
• Turn right, on University Ave., and run straight till you reach the Checkpoint.
• Turn right on E. Jacinto and run towards the UP Gym.
• At the corner of Magsaysay Ave., turn right and run straight along the road till you reach the UP Bahay ng Alumni.
• Turn right on the corner right after Bahay ng Alumni and run along that road till you reach the end: the road curves into Juan Luna St.
• Juan Luna St. is where Heartbreak Hill lives! Use the initial incline to build up a bit of momentum, and then attack HBH with gusto! (Try not to slow down till you reach the peak. :D)
• Turn right on Gomburza and use the downhill run to catch your breath.
• Run straight along Gomburza till you enter the Acad. Oval, via the College of Law and the School of Economics.
• Run along the Acad. Oval -- pass by the College of Education and Palma Hall.
• When you reach the corner of Roces St., make a right turn and run straight along (past a stoplight, past the College of Eng'g, past the Dorm).
• Turn right on Laurel Ave. and stop just before you reach the Shopping Center.

Extra step: treat yourself to a refreshing fresh fruit shake at SC!
