“This is in celebration of our company’s fourth year anniversary. But of course it is also our tribute to my late father (Vic Sai),” said organizer and VSP president Kenneth Sai during the recent SCOOP forum held at the Zoofari Kids Adventure in Bacaca.
Vic Sai, who was the race organizer of many running events including the MILO Marathon, died four years ago on March 16 and had his 65th birthday last April 9. His son Kenneth took over as the Davao organizer of the MILO Marathon and is now the most sought-after race organizer in Davao.
Also present at the special public service sports program yesterday were Castrol VisMin area business manager Edgar Ponce and Sai’s wife Honey, also of VSP.
“We are giving special discounts from 10 to 15 percent for our products during the race day. They can also get discount on the registration fee, except for the 500m category, if they will purchase any Castrol product,” Ponce said.
The categories are the Ceelin 500m Kiddie Run for 7-9 and 10-12 years old, 5K age group, 10K age group, 15K Power Run (18 years old and above) and 21K half marathon (18 years old and above).
The entry fees are P250 for 500m, P350 for 5K and 10K and P500 for 15K and 21K. Free singlet, race bib, finisher’s kit, light meals and loot bags will be given to all the registrants. The 500m runners will also receive Ceelin bags.
“But the 15K and 21K runners, however, will also each get a medal,” Sai said.
The top two finishers in the 21K for men and women will earn P2,000 and P1,500 with medals in the age categories for 18-19, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59 and 60 and above.
The top two winners in the 15K will pocket P1,200 and P800 with medals for the same age categories. The top finishers in the 10K will each earn P1,000 plus a medal for the age categories in 13-18, 19-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59 and 60 and above.
The first placers in the 5K with the same age categories will win P700 each, while the top two winners in the 500m for kids 7-9 and 10-12 will receive P500 and P300 with medals.
“We want to give more chances for the runners to win,” Sai said.
There will also be lots of raffle prizes during the awarding of this annual event sponsored by Adidas, Unilab, Hygienix, SMART, International Pharmaceuticals Inc., Orix Metro, Croc Park, Unifrutti and Nestle Phils.
The deadline for the registration is on April 12 at 7:30 p.m. at the Adidas Gaisano Mall.
“We are only accepting 250 runners in the 21K, 200 in the 15K and 100 kids in the 500m while the rest is on the 5K,” said Sai.
