MANILA, Philippines - Hi-tech finish line gadgets will be used in the Timex Run set Nov. 15 at the Bonifacio High Street in Global City, Taguig.

Organizers of the event sponsored by Timex said this would give participants the best package when they compete in the 3K, 5K, 10K and 21K races which offer cash prizes, brand- new Timex watches and other giveaways.

The event, billed as “Time is Running: The 2009 Timex Run with coach Rio and Piolo Pascual,” is expected to draw a banner field with celebrity endorsers of the world’s leading watch brand lined up to head the chase for top honors in various divisions.

Registration is ongoing at various Timex shops (SM Mall of Asia, SM North Edsa, Glorieta 3, SM Megamall, and SM Southmall) Robinsons Land showrooms (Amisa showroom, Robinsons Place Manila; Grand showroom, Robinsons Galleria; Trion Towers, Fort Bonifacio Global City), and Nike Park, Bonifacio High Street.

A total of 50 Timex watches will be given away - 24 watches for the top three winners in each category and 26 watches to be raffled off to all participants, including a Timex Heart Rate Monitor and a Timex Expedition WS4. Also on tap is a photo contest offering P10,000 in total prizes and Timex watches.
