It is the first of its kind ever conceptualized in the Philippines.  The Clark Sunset Marathon is a race conceptualized and organized by RUNRIO, Inc. and was inspired by the fact that in tropical countries like the Philippines, the weather is mostly hot and humid. A night run is the perfect running event for running enthusiasts to have a more cooler and more exciting race experience.  Clark Sunset Marathon features running categories in 5KM, 10KM, 21KM and 42KM with the full marathon’s gun start happening at 5pm. The 21KM, 10KM and 5KM follow shortly at 5:15pm, 5:30pm and 5:45pm respectively.  The race event is expected to attract a total of 5,000 running enthusiasts coming from all parts of the country, as well as runners from other parts of the world. “The Clark Sunset Marathon comes at an opportune time when we are being very aggressive in promoting Clark Pampanga as one of the country’s premiere tourist hub.” Said Noemi Julian, manager, Clark Development Corporation, Tourism Promotions.  This landmark running activity is inspired by other world-famous famous running events such as the Boston Marathon, New York Marathon, Singapore Marathon, and the Tokyo Marathon, and is expected to put the country on the global map as a destination for running enthusiasts.    In partnership with Tourism Promotions Board Philippines and Clark Development Corporation the Clark Sunset Marathon aims to establish Clark, Pampanga as a venue of world-class running events in the Philippines. The activity also aims to establish this event as a premiere international marathon foot race in the country by securing route standard accreditation from AIMS/IAAF, the international governing body for distance races in the world.  “The development of Clark International Airport, including the construction of a P12-billion passenger terminal will not only provide running enthusiasts easy access to attend this event, but will also open new opportunities for both tourist and business groups in Clark Pampanga” added Julian.    Running coach Rio dela Cruz of RUNRIO Events, Inc. is proud of this ambitious running event that will not only promote the sport of running, but more importantly, promote the country as well and boost tourism.   “When we started conceptualizing the Clark Sunset Marathon, we wanted to have a first class running experience that targets not only local runners but also foreign running enthusiasts. We thought of a running event that can be compared to world-renowned marathons such as Boston Marathon, Singapore Marathon, New York Marathon among many others. And our goal is not just a one-time event. But to have an annual running event that will make our country one of the top running destinations” said dela Cruz.   For the inaugural year, runners can choose five categories and their cut-off times. 42K-7 hours, 21K - 4 hours, 10K – 2 hours and 5k – 1 hour.  

Since Clark has an international airport, Clark Sunset Marathon is also targeting foreign runners to join the race that will culminate with the Clark Sunset Marathon Music Festival, an after party celebration at the finish line. The activity will showcase DJs that will provide the party atmosphere of the running event. “We at RUNRIO want to give a one-of-a-kind experience to all the participants. We staged this running event on a Saturday evening so that the participants will have a relax and “chill-type” of an experience.  It will be a night of running and partying with DJ Ashley Rivera and DJ Tom Taus dishing out the coolest music. This will make sure that participants, their families and friends will have a good time,” said Andrew Neri, managing partner, RUNRIO Events, Inc.   Clark Sunset Marathon is made possible by Gatorade, the official sports drink, ActiveHealth, the official sports system solution, Garmin, the official timing partner and Solar Sports as the official media partner. The first running event of its kind in Clark, Pampanga is also made possible by Nizoral and Nyxsys.   For more information, visit www.runrio.com or like the official Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/runrioeventsinc/.

A run with nature at Filinvest City

Filinvest City in Alabang, the garden central business district of South Manila, served as the perfect venue for the recent 7-Eleven Run 2017 with the city’s greeneries as backdrop, providing over 20,000 participants ranging from fitness enthusiasts to families and friends an enjoyable race.

“We promised a bigger and more exciting run, and we are very happy that it turned out to be a success, thanks to Filinvest City and Skyway. Filinvest City provided the best venue for our runners,” said 7-Eleven general merchandise division head Jose Ang, Jr.

With a backdrop of tree-canopied roads, expansive walkways, and an innovative new “green spine,” a foliage walkway that spans across the northern and southern ends of the township, the run proved to be refreshing for the participants.   

Attesting to this was Adelle Cortado from marathon group U Can Yan (UCY). “We liked the routes at Filinvest City compared to other venues because they’re more comfortable and they’re surrounded by trees that’s why you won’t get sick of the scenery,” she shared.

For couple Adrian Madrelejos and Noreen Sumile, they considered their first run together in Filinvest City as a unique way to date. “Our first marathon together was enjoyable because the weather was cool in Filinvest City, which made our run easier,” they shared.       

With the success of 7-Eleven Run 2017, Filinvest Alabang, Inc. executive vice president Catherine Ilagan said, “We are thankful that 7-Eleven chose Filinvest City to be the venue of their annual run, and with the newly developed Filinvest City Event Grounds, we look forward to staging more events of this sort in the future.”

Filinvest City is a 244-hectare masterplanned property in Alabang that is home to some of the country’s premiere institutions and global companies like Filinvest’s very own Festival Mall, Crimson Hotel and Palms Country Club.

Indeed, it was the perfect day for professional runners, fitness buffs, families, and friends to take part in the biggest run of the year and experience a healthy dose of the outdoors at Filinvest City.

Color Manila Returns to Clark for the 3rd Time with a Massive 6,000 Participants

CLARK, PAMPANGA:  COLOR MANILA, leading organizer of ‘concept-fun runs’, had a very successful return to Clark, Pampanga last December 3, 2016 for its CM Blacklight Run.  They had a record number of 6,000 participants joining the said event, which is said to be the biggest event COLOR MANILA has had outside of Manila, to date.  

The event was held at the Clark Parade Grounds and marked the third time that COLOR MANILA has held an event in Pampanga.  Participants had various race finishes of 3K, 5K, and 10K to choose from.

“We had two other events brought to Clark this year, the last event was CM Blacklight as well, and because of the partnership we have with the Clark Development Corporation (CDC), we have been able to grow our number of participants from 3,000 to 6,000 in just a span of three (3) months. The run has become a much-anticipated event for runners and first-time runners alike”, says Justine Cordero, Vice President of COLOR MANILA.

Thousands of participants from Pampanga, Manila and some nearby provinces such as La Union, Baguio, Tarlac, Pangasinan and Bulacan joined the event. Some foreigners also flew all the way from Indonesia, US, and other countries, just to be able to experience the night run.

According to Jay Em, President of COLOR MANILA, “What makes COLOR MANILA different is that, it is not about who finishes the race first, since everyone gets a medal.  For most of the participants, it is about creating that venue wherein you can exercise and bond with your friends at the same time, as you all go through the various race challenges and experience having colored powder thrown at you.”

Resident DJ Marxx Monterola with MC Dino also entertained the participants after the event.



COLOR MANILA’s next Blacklight event will be held in Dagupan in partnership with CSI The City Mall on December 10, 2016, it will be their last event for 2016.

For 2017, COLOR MANILA will start the year with its biggest annual event, COLOR MANILA RUN - YEAR 5, which will be held on January 8, 2016 at the Mall of Asia (MOA) Grounds.  The organizers are anticipating 12,000 participants for this event.

COLOR MANILA also recently announced in its recent press conference at Kerry Sports at Shangri-La at the Fort, its plans to bring their events to United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the United States.

Registration is still open for COLOR MANILA Blacklight Run Dagupan at G/F CSI The City Mall-Dagupan.  For COLOR MANILA RUN - YEAR 5 and other events, you may visit www.colormanilarun.com or FB/ColorManilaRun for more information.

Why Do I Run? - Ben Alves

This is probably the main question that you have in mind that you've been wanting to ask to runners. I just happen to stumble upon a video of a local celebrity named Ben Alves that happens to have an answer to that. His answer of course may not be the same as other runners but somehow may have some similarities to some.

After seeing this, I can probably answer the question with... Why Not Run?
Aside from the health benefits that you're going to get from it, you can also feel good that you're doing something to burn those unwanted fats, but that is just me. May not be the case for others but I hope I make some point.

Nutrilite Health Run 'Fun Run' Success

The kickoff leg of this year’s Nutrilite Health Run held last February 22 at the Blue Bay Walk in Pasay City was a pleasant surprise even for return participants of this yearly fun running event.  With the aim of staging a bigger and better event this year than in previous years, exclusive Nutrilite distributor Amway Philippines organized a post run mini-concert for finishers at the Blue Bay Walk.  All these are in line with Nutrilite’s aim of promoting optimal health through proper diet, exercise and supplementation.

The Nutrilite Health Run is about encouraging as many people as possible to take up running as a regular exercise regimen, or a part of one at least.  For most, running is the easiest and most convenient way to keep fit as it requires no special equipment or training to do.  That is why the Nutrilite Health Run features a short distance category of 3k that appeals to neophyte runners, plus of course the 5k and the 8k categories. Because fun is a vital element of any fitness regimen, the mini-concert after the first leg featured the music of Sponge Cola.

The Nutrilite Health Run was as ever open to both Amway business owners and non-business owners alike.  As an added treat, non-business owners who participated in the run got to become Amway Business Owners after the event without the usual Php 1,000 startup fee.  This year’s Nutrilite Health Run will have two more legs, one in Davao City on March 1, and in Cagayan de Oro City on March 15.  The succeeding legs will also feature first-rate entertainment.  You can still register for the two upcoming legs at: http://on.fb.me/17GQD0n

Nutrilite is exclusively distributed by Amway Philippines.
