To qualify for the national finals in Manila, participants must compete in all three legs held in Davao City. The second and third legs are scheduled for August 25 and October 20 at Azuela Cove in Lanang.
"First time ni sya nga (This marks the first time the event is taking place) outside Manila. This year, similar races are set to be held in Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, Iloilo, Bacolod, and Baguio cities," he told SunStar Davao.
Cash prizes for the top three male and female finishers in the 5K and 10K categories are yet to be confirmed.
Registrants are advised to monitor the KinetixSports Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/KinetixSports) for updates on kit collection, gun start times, and race routes as the event approaches. MLSA
