adidas King of the Road

iamninoyrunners — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 06:07:24 +0000

On October 23, 2011, one of the most anticipated run will take place at the Bonifacio Global City, the adidas King of the Road and it expects 4,000 runners to join this event. This year’s theme is entitled ‘Colours’. It is represented through the different coloured adidas singlets participants will wear.

The iamninoy-iamcory runners group is a running partner of this event. We are truly grateful for the invitation and hope that increased awareness for our beneficiary, 57:75 Movement will be achieved. The plight of our less privileged school children continues and we need to do our share to help them receive an education. Understandably, the adidas singlets will be the preferred shirt however, the iamninoy-iamcory runners shirt can be used as an extra shirt. A little exposure for our advocacy will be greatly aprreciated.

The adidas King of the Road is different because it will be held in five countries across the region, that is, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Philippines. Each country is a qualifying leg towards the finals. The winner and runner-up of each country’s 16.8km category will win an all-expenses paid trip to the Philippines to compete with the best of the best in Southeast Asia. Why the category 16.8 kms? Because 16.8 kms multiplied by 5 (the five countries participating) equals 84 kms that translates to two full marathons. Ergo, you’ll be able to complete two mary’s.

Registration is still open! To register, visit the adidas King of the Road website for online credit card payment or drop by adidas stores for cash payments.

Event categories and race fees: P1,050 – 5km, P1,300 – 16.8km, P1,050 – 21k

Runners Donate To Build A School

iamninoyrunners — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 06:37:14 +0000

Runners who participated in the EDSA Run in Metro Manila as well as in Zamboanga, Bicol, Pampanga, Sultan Kudarat, Davao, Zambales, Zamboanga Sibugay, Vigan, Cebu and Dipolog together raised a total of Php 1,236,400.65. Yes!!! A little over ONE MILLION pesos! Take a bow hero runners. Be proud.

The donation will go to building classrooms so that more children will have opportunities, more chances to live happier and stable lives and hopefully provide better living conditions for their families. These children want nothing more than comfort of life and education. These are their rights.

Thank you runners for taking part in this worthy endeavor. The feeling of making a difference in a child’s life while doing our favorite sport is indescribable. The effort placed in training and the lack of sleep are not sacrifices after all when a smile is placed on a child’s face.

Be inspired to continue the task of creating awareness for our beneficiary, the 57:75 Movement. Run for the children. Run for their education. Run for their future.

One of the premiere sports lifestyle companies in the country, eXtribe Inc. was formed in 2003 by a group of triathletes that recognized that there were very few triathlon races in the country and wanted to create and organize quality sports events. Some of the more popular multi-sport races they have done are the White Rock Long Distance Triathlon and the eXtri Off-Road Triathlon. They were also involved in Pasig River Run, Cobra Ironman 70.3, New Balance and the EDSA Run, to name a few.

Aside from organizing race events, eXtribe Inc. also believes in the importance of community building. In line with this is their newest project entitled “Race2Raise with the theme “train, race, serve”. The aim of the project is to invite participants to train to become a hero, race to make a difference and serve as inspiration for others. One of the events, the Camp Run Series will help gain support foe eXtribe’s partner foundations which are: DepEd Adopt A school Program, ABS-CBN’s E-media Project, HERO Foundation Inc. and iamninoy-iamcory Runners for the 5775 Movement.

New Balance Raising Hope

This is for the benefit of three foundations that cater to providing help to people with cancer and their families. These are The Carewell Community, I Can Serve Foundation and Natasha Goulborn Foundaton.

Runners, we all know of someone who has been stricken by this disease or is going through painful treatments; he/she could be a family member, a spouse, an officemate, a friend or a friend’s friend. The truth is, cancer is around and continues to threaten the lives of many. The former President Corazon Aquino succumbed to colon cancer in 2009.

We can help raise hope by joining this event. It is hope that we all lean on when challenging times come along. Runners, let’s make a difference in the lives of cancer victims.

The New iamninoy-iamcory Runners Shirt

iamninoyrunners — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 06:50:27 +0000

The new and improved iamninoy-iamcory Runners shirt is now available. A few months ago we asked you to vote for the new design and this emerged as the winner.

The shirts are designed for comfort while training or when you are going on short or long runs.

Importantly, wearing the shirt represents your most valued contribution to helping our country. The shirt is your badge, creating awareness and making a donation to our beneficiary 57:75 Movement. Your contribution goes a long way in fulfilling the Movement’s objective of providing books, in-school feeding and schools to less privileged school children.

The cost of the shirt is P850. This includes a donation to 57:75 and membership to the iamninoy-iamcory runners group.

The shirts are available at the Rudy Project store located at Bonifacio High Street, Taguig City. You have a choice of short-sleeved shirts and singlets. From the number of inquiries we received and continue to receive regarding the shirt, it is expected that the shirts will sell fast. But do not worry, we will produce continually whenever inventory is low.

Members who already have the previous shirts can continue to use these during your runs. However, if you wish to own this new one, you’ll have to purchase again at the above-mentioned price.
