Very soon, dates and venues for similar races in Cebu and Clark, Pampanga will be announced making sure that more will share in the fun.
All distance categories in Metro Manila – 10, five and three kilometers – will have the same registration fee put runners can choose between several the Deluxe and Rockstar packages. The Deluxe packages goes for PHP 950.00 and consists of one race shirt, race bib, headlamp and colored powder while the Rockstar costs PHP 1,500.00 and includes everything in the Deluxe package plus a drawstring bag, face paint and foldable water bottle.
Runners have the choice between two sumptuously designed shirts entitled “Retro” and “Psychedelic”. They can also choose what color of drawstring bag they want.
In addition, the six-kilometer Challenger will be introduced for PHP 2,000.00. Challenger participants will have to negotiate several obstacles and will be entitled to an additional shirt on top of everything included in the Rockstar package.
