NIKE’S WE RUN RACE SERIES TO HIT THE STREETS OF MANILA
We Run MNL 10K inspires and connects runners globally with Nike+

PHILIPPINES, OCTOBER 2012 – Nike’s We Run race returns to Manila for a second year, to inspire, motivate and connect runners around the world on December 2, 2012. The Nike We Run race series this year will be across 34 cities with an expected participation of 395,500 runners globally. In Southeast Asia, runners in Malaysia and Singapore have conquered their cities on 14 October and 22 October respectively. The We Run torch will be passed to the Philippines from Guadalajara, before making its next stop in Buenos Aires.

Participants of this year’s We Run MNL 10K can also look forward to receiving a We Run race tee. Adapting the global We Run design, and customized for the Philippines, runners are identified globally with the black Nike Dri-Fit race tee with a distinct volt green piping on the collar and a striking graphic in volt green.

Nike’s We Run Manila 10K race will energize the streets of Pasay City with the 13,000 high-octane runners expected to make tracks all over the SM Mall of Asia’s grounds. Set against the remarkable view of Manila Bay, the initial stretch of the race will let runners pass through the commercialized area of the Mall of Asia with the SMX Convention Center and the latest icon of the area, the eye-shaped SM Bay City Arena. Runners are set to leave urban commercial scenery and head towards the fields along Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard. Closing in on the halfway point of the race, runners will then pass the upcoming Belle Casino, a gold complex glistening in the morning sun. As they take a turn on Pacific Avenue and race past the same landmarks, runners will come upon the iconic ferris-wheel along Seaside Boulevard that marks the final kilometer to the finish line. The panoramic run would not be complete without an engaging en route entertainment featuring some of Manila’s top musical acts. Runners can expect to relax and recharge from their run with the array of services such as massage booths at the race village.

“Nike’s We Run race is the celebration of running across the world, the culmination of every runner’s dedication and commitment to train harder, defy expectations and push their bodies’ limits. Nike aims to revolutionize the running experience, by allowing runners to inspire, motivate and connect with other runners globally through the Nike+ Technology”, shared Sanjay Gangopadhyay, Marketing Director of Nike South East Asia. “With the second edition of the We Run race in Manila, Nike envisions Filipinos, the youth in particular, to further move the local running scene forward by leading the active lifestyle movement.”

This year, Nike is taking inspiration to a new level as runners will be able to follow one of Philippines most popular lifestyle bloggers, Lissa Kahayon of lissakahayon.com, who will be embarking on her first We Run race. Follow her We Run journey as she takes on the challenge of preparing for Nike’s We Run MNL 10K race, blogging at each step of the journey, and witness how Nike elevates her everyday running experience with the various product offerings including the Nike+ ecosystem.

To get race-ready, Nike will organize training sessions focusing on proper running techniques and tips. Runners will also be able to test out the Nike+ Running app (available on iOS and Android), and try out the season’s latest running products.

Thanks Nike for the Cute Shoe USB!

The Nike We Run Manila was held last October 15, 2011, it was my first 10K night run. Though I struggled with the afternoon heat because the gun start was at PM, the run was all very well and great! There was also a post-race concert which everyone enjoyed though we were not able to stay that long to finish the concert.

The run was promised to have a post-race surprise, a Nike shoe inspired USB, but unluckily it was not distributed after race due to production constraints. And months passed and we all waited for it, at last the long, long wait was over when the said item was delivered yesterday :-)

Thank you Nike! The long wait was worthy enough! Til the next We Run Manila 2012!

Nike We Run Manila 10K Race Night Pics

Yesterday at 5PM, the Nike We Run Manila 10K was held at the Fort Bonifacio Global City. The activity venue was transferred at the 34th Street, well BGC is already becoming congested of new buildings and a lot of construction on-going.

The area was full of reddish orange due to the strict implementation of wearing the provided Nike Running tee. It was a nice race in general with a lot of hydration and music,(free concert at the post-race event) but there are also negative feedback such as the congested race route, unlighted route, nightmare at the baggage counter (it was great that we did not leave our things there) and the failed promise of the finishers award upon crossing the line among others.

In a positive note, I am happy to meet a fellow Pinoy Fitness runner and a frequent chat mate at the PF forum, Roxanne, you can visit her blog by clicking HERE. Thank you for the NB voucher! At last I will be having an NB shoes :-)

Lastly, here are some of our pics during the race. More pics in my FB account or click HERE.
