THE chain of convenience stores, 7-Eleven, officially launches the seventh year of the 7-Eleven Run Series.

Happening simultaneously in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao on February 3, 2019, 7-Eleven Run 2019 promises to be an exciting event for both professional and recreational runners.

The race was first held simultaneously in three locations across the country last 2018, with over 25,000 runners participating. Runners for this year can expect to see new race categories, a chance to compete in an international Asian marathon, and to win P500,000 cash.

The race in Luzon will be held at Filinvest City, Alabang, while the Visayas leg will be at Cebu Business Park, and the Mindanao leg will be at SM City Davao.

This year, 7-Eleven will be introducing the 32K category. Runners also have other options, such as 500-meter run for kids, a 10K buddy category, and the 42K full marathon.

The race in Manila and Cebu will have 10 categories that will cater to different types of runners. The categories are as follows: 500M kids, 3K, 5K, 5K Buddy, 10K, 10K Buddy, 16K, 21K, 32K, and 42K.

The race in Davao, on the other hand, does not have the 500M category.

“We listened to our runners and added new distances like the 32K which will serve as an entry point or trial run for 42K,” Jose Victor Paterno, president and CEO of Philippine Seven Corporation, said.

The overall top 3 Filipino winners for 21K, 32K, and 42K will be awarded cash prizes and medals, plus a chance to join an international marathon in Asia, all expenses paid.

The event organizer will also be giving away a bonus cash prize of P500,000 to the top Filipino runner who can beat the Philippine record for the 42K category.

Registration is now open until January 15, 2019.

Customers can also redeem free race kits from the CLiQQ Rewards Catalog when they buy participating items from sponsors. Run 2019 e-stamps can be earned when customers buy participating items worth P100 and have their CLiQQ app barcode scanned. To redeem free race kits, customers must earn 8 e-stamps for non-buddy categories and 16 e-stamps for buddy categories.

The promo runs from November 21- January 1, 2019.
