7-Eleven Run 2019 holds successful run in 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.
Held last February
3, 2019, the 7-Eleven Run 2019 was held simultaneously in Manila, Cebu,
and Davao, representing Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. It 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.
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.
The race in Filinvest
City, Alabang for the Manila leg and in Cebu Business Park for the Cebu leg
both had ten different categories that catered to all types of runners. The
categories were as follows:
●
500M
●
3K

5K
●
5K Buddy
●
10K
●
10K Buddy
●
16K

The race in SM
City Davao for the Davao leg, on the other hand, had nine categories excluding
500M.
This year,
runners were introduced to new distances as 7-Eleven added the 32K category in
all locations. In Cebu, the 500M category was launched this year while the 10K Buddy
category was provided as a new option for runners in Davao.
“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.”
Three winners
from each category were awarded cash prizes and medals. In addition, the
overall top three Filipino male and three Filipino female placers from the 21K,
32K, and 42K categories also qualified to participate in an international
marathon in Asia, all expenses paid.
