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

To get race-ready, Nike will organize
training sessions focusing on proper running techniques and tips.
