Allianz PNB Life Insurance, the local entity of Allianz, the world’s leading insurer, announces its partnership with Conquer Challenge Philippines, to promote obstacle course racing in the Philippines.
In a press launch held at the Allianz PNB Life
office in Makati, Alexander Grenz, Chief Operating Officer at Allianz
PNB Life, expressed his enthusiasm in the partnership emphasizing how the
company would like to create a positive impact on people’s lives by making them
experience new challenges through an obstacle course race. “OCR is a sport that
has started to gather a strong following in the Philippines. We at Allianz believe
that this sport can inspire Filipinos to take on a new challenge and embrace it
without fear,” he said.
Grenz explained that the challenges
in the race give individuals a chance to test their mind and body’s capability
to get a serious workout. “OCR challenges
one to develop endurance and physical strength as well as better coordination
skills,” he added.
Allianz Chief Market
Management Officer Gae Martinez, however, affirmed the growing patronage
of Obstacle Course Racing Sports in the Philippines, lodging her support as more
and more Filipinos become interested on
the sport that calls for mental alertness, emotional stability, and physical
endurance to overcome obstacles in lives. This is true for millenials who
comprise a great number of obstacle course racers, but also for GenXers who
have also tried it. The increasing awareness of Filipinos to live a healthy and
active lifestyle is indicative of a shift of lifestyle that now recognizes the
threats of critical illness, but at the same time the pursuit of aspirations
for a better future.
Conquer Challenge President Rob
Afzelius shares that Allianz Conquer Challenge, with its key message of
“Dare to Conquer your Impossible, consists of three races: the Conquer
Challenge Power Race which is a 7 Km + 20 obstacles race, the Conquer Challenge
Beginner’s obstacle Race, which is 3 Km + 12 obstacles, and even a Conquer
Challenge Kids race that is 1.5 km long plus at least 7 obstacles. Kids joining
the race must be accompanied by an adult. We see this partnership with Allianz
as fit because both entities’ are aligned in inspiring the Filipino never to
waiver on its aspirations.

Branding Communications and Digital Director revealed that the company’s foray
into supporting obstacle course races is part of a special trio of activities
on 13 May, that espouses Filipinos’ to take part in a fitness activity.
