The Great LEAN Run 2016

What is The Great LEAN Run?
The Great LEAN Run or TGLR is a joint undertaking by the UP Sandigan para sa Mag-aaral at Sambayanan Alumni (UP SAMASA) and the UP Office of the Vice-Chancellor for Student Affairs (UP OVCSA). It is a celebration of the life of Leandro L. Alejandro, one-time UP Student Council Chairman, and the most popular youth leader during the turbulent Martial Law years. He continues to be a prime example of how the youth can effect change through critical thought and social involvement. 
The 3.7 kilometer run is a special distance experiential run that includes a specially-designed obstacle course, race and chase production, among other surprise features. It will enable each participant to experience life under Martial Law, to step into Lean's slippers/sandals/shoes/flipflops (whatever you want to call it).

==What to wear?==
Participants should wear comfortable clothes and footwear. The singlet must be worn with the bib pinned infront at all times. The belt with the three (3) ribbons must we worn around the waist with all the ribbons always displayed prominently.

==What can I expect from the race?==
Each participant will be issued three (3) ribbons that will be tied to the waist. Each ribbon will represent life, liberty and property.   

The object of the run is to survive in the shortest time with as many ribbons intact as possible. The obstacle course, the race and the chase will have participants come face to face with the dreaded elements of Martial Law who will snatch ribbons from them. Along the way, participants will be able to feel how it is to "lose one's rights".

To be eligible for a prize, a participant must finish with at least one (1) ribbon on his waist. If all ribbons are lost, it would mean that the participant did not "survive" Martial Law. He will still be allowed to finish the Run and his time will be recorded but he will not be eligible for a prize.

==Race rules, and dos and don'ts==
===Helping Other Participants===
Participants are allowed to help each other complete the challenges of the obstacle course. However, at the No Man's Land, participants shall no longer be allowed to help one another.
