First
ever Gatorade Run marks debut on 11/22 *
Manila,
Philippines – The world’s number one sports drink is finally making its debut
in the country’s fast growing running circuit with the launch of the first ever
Gatorade Run.
The
run will happen on November 22 at the Seaside Boulevard at the SM Mall of Asia
in Pasay City. There will be two distances—11 and 22 kilometers gun-starting at
5:00 and 4:00 AM respectively. Race fee is P1,100 for 11K participants and
P1,500 for their 22K counterparts. The pre-race kit will include an Adidas race
tee, a race bib and a timing chip. Another Adidas shirt, this time a finishers
tee, will also await all finishers.
“The
Gatorade Run will cap off what has been a historic year for us,” Pepsico Philippines
Marketing Manager for Hydration Tony Atayde said. “We just celebrated our 50th
birthday; we recently beefed up our line-up with a new variant called White
Lightning and welcomed a powerhouse cast of ambassadors; and now, we’re
launching the first ever run powered by Gatorade.”
Atayde
added, “As a global leader in sports performance, runners can expect that
Gatorade will bring its sports science expertise to the fore. More than just a
run, this milestone event is a platform for us to reinforce our message of
proper hydration.”
The
Gatorade Run will feature a hydration station where participants can get pre-race
hydration drinks, a post-run hydration test area where they can instantly learn
about their hydration status, and a warm-up area where free sessions will be
available for those who want a full-on warm up activity before the run.
Online
registration is until November 13. Runners can also troop to Adidas outlets at
Trinoma, Bonifacio Global City, Greenbelt 3, SM MOA and SM Megamall to register
until November 8. Registered participants can start claiming their kits on
November 16 until November 19 from 12:00 NN to 8:00 PM at their chosen store and
schedule upon registration.
