RUNRIO Trilogy Series 2017 promises to be the most exciting ever
Manila, Philippines - April 28, 2017 - Running coach Rio dela
Cruz of RUNRIO Events, Inc. announces the start of this year’s most premier
running series in the country - the RUNRIO Trilogy 2017 at the Okada Manila in
Paranaque City.
The series is expected to attract an average of 12,000 running
enthusiasts per leg from all over the country.
The first of the three legs is set for June 25, 2017 and features a
half-marathon run including 10Km and 5Km race. This will be followed by the
second leg on August 13,2017, where it will showcase Rio’s very own Afroman distance
which is a 32Km run, with shorter distances - 21Km, 10Km and 5Km. The 32Km is
considered by runners as the ideal race for first-timers who aim to finish
their very first full marathon.
The
third and final leg will cap the series on October 1, 2017 with a full marathon of 42Km that also includes 21Km, 10Km, and 5Km race
distances. Runners who complete the highest distance of all 3 races will be
honored at the RUNRIO Trilogy Awards Night.
The very first RUNRIO Trilogy was held in 2010 with the primary purpose
of providing a progressive running program for those who want to finish a full
marathon. This year’s RUNRIO Trilogy,
will also feature popular actor and running enthusiast, Dingdong Dantes as the
event ambassador.
“We are excited
to launch the RUNRIO Trilogy race series because there are many running
enthusiasts out there who are looking forward to this event. This year marks
the 7th year of RUNRIO Trilogy, whose main objective is to educate
runners to train and race progressively,” said award-winning actor Dantes. “Aside
from this, part of the proceeds of this year’s race series will go to YesPinoy
Foundation to support the organization’s philanthropic works” added Dantes.
Dantes is the founding
chairman of YesPinoy Foundation.
The announcement of the RUNRIO Trilogy series is part of RUNRIO
Events, Inc.’s expansion program that will bring more running activities to the
public in the coming months.
Runners can also expect bigger and more exciting races from the
country’s premiere running events company as it looks to add more races in its
portfolio such as trail running, obstacle runs, just to name a few.
RUNRIO will also be launching its new campaign “Heart to Finish”,
which is expected to become the participants’ mantra for all RUNRIO races.
“We at RUNRIO understand that people join races not just to run.
It’s more because of their desire and passion to be able to finish their 21k,
32k or 42k races with different motivations. We believe that if you run with
your heart, anything is possible” said Coach Rio dela Cruz, President of RUNRIO
Events, Inc.
One of the highlights of the media launch was the opening of the
online registration while onsite registrations will be open starting May 6,
2017, at Adidas Greenbelt 3, Adidas Trinoma, Adidas Solenad 3, Adidas BGC and
Toby’s SM MOA.
“I would like to invite all those who like running to join the
RUNRIO Trilogy 2017. This unique running series will definitely provide runners
a chance to train and prepare properly and a chance to show how far they can go
when they run with their heart,” said Coach Rio dela Cruz, RUNRIO Events, Inc.
President.
RUNRIO Trilogy is made possible by
Adidas, Gatorade
& Okada Manila. Adidas is the official RUNRIO Trilogy apparel. The most
awaited race series of the year is also supported by Active Health, Summit
