NIKE
CELEBRATES THE SPIRIT OF FILIPINOS WITH WE RUN MNL 2013
We Run MNL 2013 aims to
inspire, motivate and unite Filipinos to move more, move better.
Manila, Philippines, 26
October 2013
– The Nike We Run MNL (Manila) returns for a third edition to inspire, motivate
and connect runners around the world. On 1 December 2013, 15,000 runners are
expected to take to the streets of the historical Marikina City and run the
10km in celebration of the spirit of unity that is significantly Filipino.
“For this year’s race, we have incorporated the personality of the
people of the Philippines to motivate and inspire them to lead a more active
lifestyle. Filipinos are kindred spirits who, without hesitation, unite for a
good cause and help each other. Taking this, we hope that every Filipino runner
can inspire and motivate another and run the race together” says Courtney
Cole-Faso, Country Marketing Manager, Nike Philippines.
In the spirit of unity, runners must sign up for the race with a
“buddy”. This is to encourage runners to constantly motivate each other to
achieve their goals in preparation for the 10km race. Nike will organize
training sessions in November to help runners prepare for the race. The
training sessions will be conducted in various locations around the city, and runners will
participate in Nike Training Club, get tips from athletes and get an experience
only Nike can bring.
Runners can also prepare for race day through the more than 18 million
strong Nike+ community. The new Nike+
Challenges is a feature that allows runners to set a distance goal, invite Nike+
friends to join, and race to the virtual finish line. Users can determine the
name of the Challenge, mileage goal, time period and participants.
Additionally, a new chat feature allows friends to encourage each other and
share tips throughout the Challenge. Runners can stay motivated by checking the
live leader board to track progress and see where they rank amongst their
friends.
Nike We Run MNL is part
of Nike’s global We Run series which is aimed at celebrating, motivating
and inspiring athletes from around the world. Manila will be one of 26 cities,
with 350,000 runners taking over 3 billion strides during the course of the We
Run race series motivated by Nike+ and Nike Running
design innovations. Nike’s We Run races range in distance from 5K to a full marathon and
reflect the unique enthusiasm of each city. From Sao Paulo, to Seoul, to
Singapore, runners will be moved to action through a series of unique
experiences. You can also follow the Nike We Run journey through an interactive map online as it passes through each
city.
