Record field seen in Run United

MANILA, Philippines - The Run United Exceed, a 21K endurance race patterned after major world marathon races, will be held April 2 at the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig.

Organizers of the event, put up by ActiveHealth and co-presentor Tag Heuer, said they expect to set new records from the participants as the mechanics of the run introduce the category for the top 15 fastest negative split medal finishes – athletes who finished the second half of the race faster than the first half.

Exclusive Tag Heuer Don’t Crack Under Pressure medal for 2.5 hours finishers and free Under Armour shoes will be up for grabs for the top 15.

“The concept is to shatter one’s perception of time. We envision this race to give birth to the next generation of high performing half-marathoners who are trained to be at par with those who are joining international races,” said Lester Castillo, brand manager of ActiveHealth.

Listup is ongoing with deadline set on March 12. For online registration, visit activehealth.ph. In-store registration is up at Toby’s Glorietta, Toby’s MOA, Runnr Trinoma and Runnr Bonifacio High Street from Mon-Sun, 12 noon-8 p.m.
