Venue

The venue for obstacle racing in the 2019 SEA Games was in Spectrum Midway Avenue.[2][3] in Filinvest City, in Muntinlupa, Metro Manila.[4] Obstacle racing was originally planned to be hosted in the Subic area.[1] The Subic Bay Freeport Zone previously hosted the Spartan Race, an obstacle race sports event.[5] The plan was later changed to host obstacle racing at the University of the Philippines Diliman's Sunken Garden[6] however the university raised concern regarding the noise pollution and heavy traffic it would cause in its campus during the duration of the sporting event.[7]
