RunRio is a series of 10k fun run organized by RunRio, Inc., headed by the foremost running coach in the country, Coach Rio de la Cruz. This January, RunRio, Inc. is partnering with Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila, the only French luxury hotel in Manila, to organize their first fun run for the year. The Battle of the Sexes Fun Run’s unique concept of male vs female is probably a first in the country. Male and female participants will compete with each other in one finish line, one venue, one distance. Female runners will run first then after 7 to 10 minutes, male runners will start the race.
Sofitel Philippine Plaza General Manager, Goran Aleks says, “We have partnered with track and field coach, Rio de la Cruz who is an icon of the youth for espousing fitness in order to promote the importance of health and fitness to the Filipinos. In addition, all the proceeds of the RunRio will go to Virlanie Foundation to help alleviate the plight of the street children in Manila.”
There will be in-store registration at Toby’s MOA, Toby’s SM The Block, Riovana BGC, Riovana Katipunan and Sofitel Philippine Plaza. Tickets can also be purchased through online at www.runrio.com.
