The Queen City of the South was painted with vibrant colors and big
smiles during the Cebu leg of COLOR Manila Run. More than 2000 Cebuanos, including
local and international
tourists, eagerly braved the shower of water and dyes to give their early
morning run a colorful twist.
The beautiful seaside view of South Road
Properties (SRP) served as the backdrop as runners get color-bombed with the
happiest colors of the rainbow – yellow, orange, blue, green and purple, at
different designated stations.
Aside from the standard dri-fit shirts,
race bibs and bags, all participants were alsogiven colorful reflectorized
sunglasses that added a funky, fashionable touch.
The race was divided into 10K, 6K and 3K
running categories but therewere no clocks, checkered flags or victory lanes.
Everyone ran at their own pace and those who completed the race each received a
specially designed finisher’s medal.
Capping the race was a party like no
other where the participants were showered with more colors as the
event climaxed into a beautiful, colorful mess.
Supported by the Tourism Promotions Board, COLOR Manila
Run is a friendly, non-competitive run and color festival rolled into one. This
one-of-a-kind run definitely captures the fun spirit of the Filipinos. Aside from Manila and Cebu, COLOR Manila Run will also
be held in Bacolod, Davao and Dagupan. For
