Color Manila aims to help Clark in growing their sports tourism agenda
Registration still ongoing at
COLOR MANILA, currently the most aggressive ‘concept fun-run’ organizer in the country today, is setting its sights on its next big event at Clark, Pampanga on March 19, 2017. The last event of COLOR MANILA at Clark, Pampanga saw a sold-out event with 6,000 participants. The
upcoming CM Challenge Run, which will be held at the Clark Parade
Grounds, will have the runners this time go through obstacles, color
stations and mazes.
Justine
Cordero, VP for COLOR MANILA says, “We would like to invite runners and
non-runners alike to join this exciting event, the CM Challenge Run. We
have customised a unique race route just for this run, with obstacles
and challenges to make it more exciting, apart from being very colorful. Of course, participants can also look forward to the after-party; we have invited DJ Franco Zarate to spin for us.”
Cordero continues, “We are targeting thousands of participants again for this fun-run. We are also developing Clark as one of our bigger event sites outside of Manila. Our
recent event in Manila, which celebrated our 5th anniversary, saw
12,000 participants and we would like to eventually have a fun-run as
big as this at Clark, Pampanga.”
“The last time we were at
Clark, we saw participants from nearby provinces such as La Union,
Baguio, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija and Tarlac. We also had some foreigners from other Asian countries and the United States who flew in just for that run. We would like to consistently do this, along with our local partners, such as Clark Development Corporation, so we can help in our own way, in terms of growing the sports tourism agenda of Clark, Pampanga”, says Cordero.
Participants can choose between the Deluxe Kit and the Trooper Kit. The Deluxe, which is at Php 650 includes the singlet, sunglasses and color packet. While the Trooper Kit, which is priced at Php 1,050, comes with an added drawstring bag and headwear. Runners can also choose between the 3K, 5K or 10K routes.
Sponsors for the CM
Challenge Run include Clark Freeport Philippines, Toby’s Sports, Runner,
Anytime Fitness Angeles, Pascual, 100 Plus, Starbucks Coffee, SM
Tickets and Runnr. Registration is still ongoing at www.colormanilarun.com.
ABOUT COLOR MANILA:
COLOR
MANILA encourages everyone to run, and to illustrate to non-runners how
enjoyable the sport is, we bring out the real fun in the ‘fun’ run,
through a color festival. We are the
paintbrushes, and You are the Paint. We carry the palette but You make
your own Strokes. You become the human canvas, as we literally bring out
your most energetic and happiest hue.
You
are the Color, the human Canvas. You are the bits and pieces of this
kaleidoscope. Because life is not a competition. Rather, it is a race
where you run at your own pace, where you throw high-fives to people,
where you carry all the colors of your experiences. We make this as the
most exciting fun run ever, that you’d want to do it over and over
again. We want to give you that unique kaleidoscope experience every
time!
