7-Eleven Run 2019 awards runners from Manila, Cebu, and Davao
The country’s
go-to convenience chain, 7-Eleven, officially marked its seventh year of
promoting health among its consumers through a fun-filled sports and wellness
activity, the 7-Eleven Run.
7-Eleven Run 2019
brought together professional and recreational runners from different parts of
the country into a nationwide gathering, where they showcased their love for
the sport while spending time with friends and family. The event took place in
Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao last February 3, 2019.
This is the second
year that the company held the 7-Eleven Run simultaneously throughout the
country. In 2018, over 25,000 participants joined the event as they vied for a
podium finish.
Races were held at
Filinvest City, Alabang, Cebu Business Park, and SM Davao. The race in Manila
and Cebu both had 10 different categories that catered to all types of runners:
500M, 3K, 5K, 5K Buddy, 10K, 10K Buddy, 16K, 21K, 32K, and 42K. On the other
hand, the race in Davao, had only 9 categories, excluding 500M.
The overall top 3
Filipino winners from the 42K, 32K, and 21K categories will be participating at
the Phuket International Marathon in Thailand from June 7 to 10, 2019.

Unfortunately, no
one was able to take home the Php 500,000 cash prize since the current
Philippine National Record for the 42K category men’s (2:18:44) and women’s
(2.43:00) was not broken by any of the overall top Filipino placers.
“The 7-Eleven Run
series is regarded as one of the most anticipated marathons in the country
today,” Jose Victor Paterno, President and CEO of Philippine Seven Corporation
said. “This year, we’ve made it more interesting by adding more categories to
better fit the demand of every type of enthusiast—from the recreational runner
to the professional athlete. We believe that by doing a sporting event like the
7-Eleven Run, we can contribute to the growth and development of Filipino
sportsmen who are well on their way to bring pride to our country.”
