At 1 p.m. today, Parkmall will be turned into one big playground at Piazza Rotunda for the 2nd Metafit Fearless Challenge. The participating teams will face a tough challenge based on their cardio vascular endurance, muscular strength and endurance, and flexibility. Mental Challenge will also be incorporated plus a test in balance and stability. There will also be lots of surprises so participants are warned to expect the unexpected.

Teams will run to 3 stages in the elimination round, semifinals and finals. The elimination will be called the warm up challenge. They will be given 3 LT challenges and the top 4 teams will proceed to the semifinal round where they will be greeted with another set 3 of challenges that will focus on muscle strength, endurance, speed and a mental challenge.
