PLDT - SMART 10 MILER IS ATTRACTING RUNNERS

The PLDT-Smart 10 Miler is attracting so many runners that only after a week of registration the number of participants have ballooned to almost 1,500 runners!
This 10-miler is a good recovery run for those who joined the Cebu City Marathon and a “final” long run for those joining the Condura Skyway Marathon slated February 6.
The distance is almost perfect – not so short or long – and it’s challenging. Upon making a u-turn at P. Del Rosario Street after existing Cebu City Sports Complex oval, the road to Capitol is slight uphill. There’s another climb after turning right on Escario Street on the way to JY Square. For those who will run the 16k, the route passing through Mabolo, turning at Radisson Blue Hotel, all the way back to JY is elevated. The last climb will be at Escario Street, that right turn leading to the Capitol. From there, it will be slightly downhill up to the finish line inside the Cebu City Sports Complex.
All finishers in the 16k category will get a finisher’s t-shirt.
Runners will also get snacks and drinks after the race and many other goodies from PLDT and Smart.
Photo enthusiasts will also have their share of fun. There’s a photo contest open to all pro and amateur photographers with the winner stashing away P3,000, trophy and Smart Bro pre-paid Plug IT. The second and third placers get P2,000 and P1,000 respectively plus trophy and Smart products.
Registration forms are available at all registration centers for the run.
So if you haven’t registered yet, better run to the nearest registration center near you and sign up. Registration centers are at RUNNR in Ayala, Smart Experience Center in SM, Casa Ilongga and Cebu City Sports Complex. Deadline for registration is January 27. Race packets will be available from January 26-29 at the Cebu City Sports Complex.
Part of the proceeds of this run will go to the youth educational program supported by PLDT-Smart.
