4th edition of QCIM reels off on Dec. 2

The 4th Quezon City International Marathon (QCIM) fires off on December 2 with the race route
covering a major portion of Commonwealth Avenue and La Mesa Eco-Park, organizers said in a press release on Friday.

The Executive Runners Club of the Philippines (RUNNEX), the country's oldest executive running club, has managed the race since 2009 for the Quezon City Local Government under Mayor Herbert Bautista in coordination with the Office of Vice Mayor Joy Belmonte.

Runnex expects to attract more than ten thousand runners in the 2012 QCIM, which has SM Development Corporation as co-presentor for the second year.

Attractive cash prizes and giveaways are up for grabs in the 5-, 10-, 21- and 42K.
A free running clinic is also held every Sunday at the UP Academic Oval in Diliman, Quezon City to help prepare runners for the basic and longer distances.
