Asics run against time set

MANILA, Philippines — The ASICS META: Time: Trials (MTT) Philippines is set to debut on Oct. 19 at the Vermosa Sports Hub in Cavite, offering a unique 10K race that focuses on personal performance rather than traditional competition.

Unlike typical races, MTT Philippines invites runners to compete against time – and themselves – pushing personal limits on a fast yet challenging course.

At the core of this experience is the ASICS Running Club (ARC), the official training ground for MTT participants. ARC offers structured programs led by seasoned coaches Precious Aguilar, Jasper Tanhueco and Dean Ellison Cunanan.

Aguilar, a former track and field athlete, emphasizes inclusivity: “For beginners, we focus on setting personal goals – whether it’s a first 5K or a new 10K PR. It’s about progress, not just speed.”
