Rexona Run 2014: Run to your Beat

October 16, 2014 is another pulsating running event happening at the Seaside Boulevard SM Mall of Asia that will certainly attract the ever growing running community in the metro. Rexona Run 2014, on its third year, will drum up the streets with various tempos to give runners the right beat to finish the race. 

Last year I was fortunate to be invited to run the 21k course along with thousands others who enjoyed to experienced a unique musical half marathon. Along the course, DJ box stations were strategically placed to encourage runners to run on the beat of the music being played. This year, same beat will be experienced but even more fun with various tunnels that each runner will go through. 

There will be three different beats that will be played by specific DJs stationed on the race course. Each category will have a distinct beat and rhythm designed to challenge runners to push their limits by keeping up their cadence with the tempo. These beats will be played by the country’s finest DJs. 

Rexona is proud to collaborate with the Republiq group with their top DJs; Ace Ramos, Mars Miranda, Deuce Manila, Martin Pulgar, Euric, MotherBass and MC Pao.  These talented DJs will pump up the whole course with their exceptional DJ skills. The Tunnels, being the newest feature of the race are packed with a thematic genre, from Hip-Hop to EDM beats. For the 5k and 10k runners, they will experience two tunnels while the 21k runners will experience all three tunnels. 

This musical / disco / running party, the way I would like to describe it, will start its assembly at 2:00am in the morning of the 26th. Gun start for the 21k, 10k and 5k are 3:00am, 3:30am and 3:45am respectively. Interested party goers and runners can register online at www.runrio.com/rexonarun starting September 8 until October 12, 2014. For those who wish to visit their  in-store registration, you can drop by at TOBY’s MOA, Runnr Store or MOVE in Bonifacio High street.

For those who are seriously targeting a good running performance before the race, you may want to join Coach Rio de la Cruz’s running clinics from September 16, to October 23.
