Justice League Run set in Cebu
CEBU, Philippines - Run as your favorite DC comic superhero? Yes, you may.
Running enthusiasts in this side of the archipelago are in for such kind of experience and wholesome treat with the staging of the Justice League Run on September 26 at the SM City-Cebu grounds.
Participants will surely have a fun-filled moment in running while dressed in colorful costumes of their favorite superhero like Batman, Superman, The Flash, Green Lantern and WonderWoman, for female runners.
"This will be another milestone for us Filipinos," said Marites Fragante of Global Procurement, Inc. (GPI), the lead organizer during the event's formal launching yesterday at Shakey's Restaurant in SM. "We had our first JL run in Manila last April and it was a huge success. We were surprised that we will do it again here. Cebu is really the personal choice of people from Warner Brothers and they will be coming over to witness the event."
Registration is pegged at P600 for the 3K, P700 for the 5K, and P800 for the 10K, but everybody will surely get their money's worth as they will receive a race kit that includes a singlet of their choice with second piece costume (eyemasks for Batman, Green Lantern, and The Flash, cape for Superman and head piece for WonderWoman), sling bag, and race bib with a timing chip.
All finishers will also receive a limited edition medal with authentic Justice League logo.
"These are premium items, something you just can't buy anywhere," said Fragante. "We're inviting the Cebuano running community including their families and kids to join the event because they will surely have a lot of fun."
While the Manila leg drew over 10,000 entries, Fragante said they are expecting at least 4,000 runners to take part in the landmark footrace in Cebu sports history.
One may register online via zalora.com.ph starting on August 18. Walk-in registration are accepted at Chis Sports outlets in SM Radisson, Ayala and Cebu I.T. Park, and at Island Souvenirs shops. For more details, one may visit www.dcjusticeleaguerun.com.ph (FREEMAN)
