It’s all set and running! Scheduled during the nice-sounding date of 01-10-10—that’s Jan. 10, 2010—is a grand event that’s long-time coming: THE CEBU MARATHON. By “marathon,” I mean the full 42 kms. (For some, any run, even a 5K Fun Run, is, at times, called a marathon.) Why the early announcement? Because covering 42,195 meters by foot is laborious, effortful and takes time. Organized by the Cebu Executive Runners Club headed by president Jesse Taborada, this is a spectacle that runners ought to join.
very exciting
Hey John,
Maybe CERC can also organize or help sponsor running clinics in order to reach out to running newbies who would like to train seriously for a marathon. Maybe Nike and Mizuno can help organize this because in Manila/ Taguig (BHS) they already have running clinics.
Best regards,
Haide A.
Haide,
Nice to hear from you. Yes, you’re right. The CERC will definitely be coming up with group training sessions.. in particular to help the first-timers (those doing even just 10K runs now) to finish their first 42K.
Hope you can join the Cebu Marathon this January. Will update you with the details (route, etc) when I have them.
Thanks and have a blessed Holy Week. See you soon,
John
I wonder if somebody could help me organize a half marathon in Poro, Camotes Islands, Cebu prior to The Cebu Marathon 01-10-10. It will be th first marathon ever conducted in Camotes Islands.
Thanks so much.
Hello,,…
May I know about the details of this coming marathon? Where can we register..?? thanks and best regards..
Hi John – Is there a site which has the updated list of run races in Cebu. It would be nice to have a website where you can get a list of races so we can join them if we are in visiting Cebu.
For races in Manila you can always check the following websites.

Yes, it open to all. Our marathons are fun ones–we don’t award cash prizes. Instead we give sacks and bags of rice to winners–to project our advocacy: “Rice is Life.” Join us and training for three months will surely win you some bags of rice.
