Salomon Citytrail run set Sept. 7

MANILA, Philippines - Whether you run for the thrill of it or to stay fit or healthy, get ready for a more enjoyable running routine as Salomon promotes Citytrail running, inspired from its mountain trail running heritage.

Alongside the launch of Salomon’s Citytrail products, the brand is happily prepping to host the first-ever event in the Philippines following its success in different countries, including the US and select countries in Europe and Asia such as Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

After much deliberation, the Salomon Citytrail Manila is set to launch tomorrow, Sept. 7 at Intramuros, Manila.

The Walled City is deemed perfect for an adventure run that will not only be challenging and exciting with its dynamic urban landscape, but rich with culture and heritage as well. The race starts at 4 p.m., which means the runners will experience all these amid the Manila sunset — the best time to explore Intramuros.

The sunset run targets at least 500 participants made up of adventure seekers, road runners, weekend warriors, fitness buffs and trail running enthusiasts. Divided into two categories of 12km and 6km, the course will not be a conventional road run and will include challenges such as climbing stairs, crossing bridges and clambering ramps around the Walled City.

Salomon brand ambassadors, Philippine Sky Runners and Suunto Athletes will be the assigned to selected areas to marshal and guide the participants in the running tour. The cut-off time for the whole race is two hours.

All registrants will get a race bib, timing chip, Salomon Citytrail singlet, Citytrail cap, post-race meal and a historical running tour of Intramuros. The 12km finishers will get a Citytrail Finisher’s medal. Top three male and female winners per distance will be awarded with R.O.X. gift certificates, Salomon products and other freebies. Salomon items and products from sponsors will also be given away to lucky participants on the day of the event.
