A friend from Davao, Lito Reyes, sent me this Press Release regarding the Kadayawan Phoenix Run. I got the poster from another friend's blog, Mo Billacura.
The press release said that this year's Kadayawan Phoenix Run Takbo Para Sa Kinabookasan is set on August 21, Sunday at 4 a.m. in an out and back course at the SM City Davao.
“We will now have a 32-kilometer category for men and women,” said PPPI’s promotions-in-charge Neb Bulaclac yesterday at the weekly SCOOP Sa Royal Mandaya sponsored by Royal Mandaya Hotel, Beefit Gym, Philippine Sports Commission, Genesis 88, Yellow Gate, High Ponds Beach Resort and Stadium Buffet Restaurant and Sports Lounge.
The other categories are the 16K, 8K and 4K. The registration fees are P800 for 32K, P600 for 16K, P350 for 8K and P250 for 4K with free singlets, race bib and finishers certificate.
The participants of the 32K and 16K will also get a timing chip, finisher’s t-shirts and finisher’s medals.
The deadline of registration is on Aug. 16. Only the first 5,000 participants can receive the limited edition Kadayawan Phoenix Run singlet.
“The run is also a tribute to our beloved hero Ninoy Aquino and his ideals of freedom and love of country,” Bulaclac added.
Also present at the public service sports program was PPPI’s marketing-in-charge Ben Sur, who said that “the Kadayawan Phoenix Run is for the benefit and support to the Phoenix Phils. Foundation’s education program especially in providing books to pre-school students of chosen adopted schools.”
Sur said that they will be donating textbooks for the four public schools that were hit by the recent flashflood in Davao City.
Lawyer Pinky Cabreros is the race organizer while Kenneth Sai of Vantage Sports is the race director.
Cash prizes and trophies are at stake for the winners, while the Jazz Up you singlet contest will again be featured. Registration centers are at the Phoenix Bulk Depot, Adidas shop at Gaisano Mall and Phoenix Acacia.
