With the success of its first running event, RunClub Davao is keeping the momentum with a new adventure, the “Asics Davao Run”, which will happen on 20 February 2011 at 5:00a.m. The starting line will be at Plaza del Carmen, A. Loyola St., Bo. Obrero, Davao City.

RunClub, the first and only Running Specialty Store in Davao City, in partnership with Asics, the world renowned Japanese maker of top performance running footwear, is gearing up for a longer route with 3 distinct categories: 4K, 7K and 15K. This event is open to all male and female runners who are up to improving their performance and trying out longer distances.

“Those who usually run 10K races can now start training for 15K. Or runners who run 5K can try 7K. It’s a way to encourage runners to aim for something higher and set out for bigger challenges. Though the first run organized by RunClub last November was an astounding success, we will make this run bigger, more challenging and more rewarding.”
Monchit Mackay, General Manager of RunClub Davao

The Asics Davao Run will have its Start/Finish line at Plaza del Carmen. A road race with an uphill challenge will confront runners as they pass along J.P. Laurel Avenue going up the Buhangin flyover. The 4K runners will turn left onto Dacudao Avenue and head back to Loyola Street. The 7K runners will go through Buhangin Road and have their turning point at the Buhangin-Diversion Road Interchange area and head back to Dacudao Avenue and Loyola Street. The 15K runners will run along Diversion Road to its turning point at the Crocodile Park and back to the Buhangin-Dacudao Avenue-Loyola Street route.

The registration fee is pegged at ₱350.00, inclusive of an Asics performance singlet, race bib, light breakfast and a specially-made finisher’s certificate. All registered participants can also take advantage of a one-time 15% discount on all regular-priced Asics products at RunClub Davao from the time they register until 15 March 2011.

An estimated 1,200 runners coming from different parts of Mindanao are expected to join this race as prizes are summed up to more than ₱100,000.00, including items that will be raffled off during the event. The Asics Davao Run is also supported by MIX FM 105.9 (the official radio station), Sun•Star Davao (the official media partner), Plaza del Carmen and Sports Town.
