New Kind of Races Coming Up!!!

Foot races every weekend. It has been like this for the past few months and some active people are starting to get bored. Good thing races and events are evolving.

Marathon. A running race 42.195 Km long. This weekend, Ayala Center Cebu will hold a different kind of marathon. Defined as a specific event that lasts long or is difficult to accomplish, ACC will hold a HIP HOP Marathon. Co-organized by Holiday Gym and Spa, Runners and dancers alike will flock Ayala Center Active Zone to challenge their skills in the art of Dancing. Try It!!! Everybody is invited.

 A week after the Dance Marathon another foot race is scheduled. But not just any race. A chance to run with newbie runners, children and adults is its theme. Directed by Ironman Champion Noy Jopson and Running Coach Rio DelaCruz, the Looney Tunes Race is a unique race indeed. With distances to accommodate children from 500 to 10,000 meters, the Looney Tunes' Race will be a memorable race for the young and the young at heart. It maybe also be your only chance to see Bugs Bunny running alongside other Cebuano runners.

As races become more child/ kid friendly, a race organized for the benefit of Children's Hour will be held in July. Appropriately called Run for Kids, Ayala Business Club of Cebu, Inc. wants to help children in need by organizing a fun run to their benefit. Many runners do not have purpose when they run. They just love running. The Run for Kids is the perfect opportunity for us to run for a good cause.  

Aside from just running, local swimmers and cyclists are also starting to enjoy the weekly races. Triathlon races are now held at least every month in Cebu. Organizers like SugbuTriathlon and Mr. Boying Rodriguez are starting to revive the triathlon community here in the Queen City of the South.

Lastly, Cebu Executive Runners Club (CERC) already announced the race of all races in Cebu and the Philippines. The Cebu City Marathon is now scheduled. To be held on January 9, 2011, this race will open the year and the Sinulog 2011 celebration. Promised to have everything this year had and more, the CCM will truly be an event to prepare for. Considered the "Gold Standard" of all marathons in the Philippines, the CCM 2011 will have online registrations to accommodate non-Cebu and International runners. Carbo-loading party and Running Clinics will still be held and the route will encompass the new SRP tunnel. The Cebu City Marathon 2011 will be bigger and more grand than this year. That's a promise.

See you on the Road.
