Whether you run for the thrill of it, to
stay fit of healthy, or both, get ready for a more enjoyable running routine as
Salomon promotes Citytrail running, inspired from its mountain trail running
heritage. Alongside the launch of Salomon’s Citytrail products, the brand is
happily prepping to host the first-ever event in the Philippines following its
success in different countries including the U.S., and select countries in
Europe and Asia such as Malaysia,
Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.
After much
deliberation, the Salomon Citytrail Manila is set to launch on September 7,
2014 at Intramuros, Manila.
The oldest city in
the Philippines, The Walled City was deemed perfect for an adventure run that
will not only be challenging and exciting with its dynamic urban landscape, but
rich with culture and heritage as well. Even more enticing is the fact that the
race starts at 4PM, which means the runners will experience all these amid the
Manila sunset –the best time to explore and absorb the old fortress.
The sunset run is
set to target at least 500 participants made up of adventure seekers, road
runners, weekend warriors, fitness buffs, and trail running enthusiasts.
Divided into two categories of 12km and 6km, the course will not be a
conventional road run and will include challenges such as climbing stairs,
crossing bridges, and clambering ramps around the Walled City. Foot strikes on
different surfaces, ascends on bridges and stairs will stimulate trail running
skills while rediscovering Philippine heritage and culture. Salomon brand
ambassadors, Philippine Sky Runners & Suunto Athletes will be the assigned
to selected areas to marshal and guide the participants in the running tour.
The cutoff time for the whole race is two hours.
The registration
will be open from August 1 to August 29 at the Salomon stores and August 30 to
September 5 at R.O.X. Bonifacio High Street. Participants may also register
online ( http://www.runnersrunner.com/2014sctp/). The fee is P900 and P1,200
respectively for the 6km and 12km categories. All registrants will get a race
bib, timing chip, Salomon Citytrail singlet, Citytrail cap, post race meal and
a historical running tour of Intramuros City. 12km finishers will get a Citytrail
Finisher’s medal. Top three
male and female winners per distance will be awarded with R.O.X. gift
certificates, Salomon products, and other freebies. Salomon items and products
from sponsors will also be given away to lucky participants on the day of the
event.
Fortunately,
participants need not to worry because substantial parking spaces will be made
available within the venue. Plus, a baggage counter will be situated within the
Start/Finish area in Fort Santiago where race participants may leave their
belongings.
Salomon Citytrail
Manila is a green run as it promotes sustainability and environmental
preservation. No disposables will be given throughout the race course. Gatorade
dispensers and water jugs will be stationed around the road areas of Intramuros
City.
In line with
Salomon’s campaign to “Elevate Your Run”, it is through the Citytrail event and
its latest Citytrail footwear that Salomon aspires to introduce Citytrail
running as an urban alternative to trail running.
A global event
meant to entice everyone to “Elevate Your Run”, Citytrail running is all about
being creative and imaginative when it comes to making your own trails in the
city. It involves making use of the different surfaces within the city like
pathways, roads, sidewalks, alleyways, bridges, stairs, et cetera to keep the
experience exciting and more challenging.
Living up to
its claim as the leading expert in trail running equipment, Salomon will also
be launching the X-Scream, the best choice for Multi-Terrain Urban Running.
Dynamic and cushioned, the X-Scream is an agile Citytrail shoe that injects
mountain spirit into running in an urban landscape.
Designed for an
adaptive fit, dynamic cushioning, and grip, the X-Scream features a specific
set of innovative technologies including a Lace pocket to provide easy storage
for the Quick Fit lacing system; Quicklace, for a minimalistic and strong lace
for one-pull tightening; OS Tendon for a perfect ride; Light Weight Muscle
Traction; Friction Free Lace Eyelet; Contagrip HA; Molded EVA; Sensiflex, for a
combination of foothold and freedom; Contagrip LT for grip and durability; EVA
shaped Footbed; Sensifit; and a Non-marking Contagrip.
Running and
staying fit need not be boring. Through its innovative products and engaging
events such as the upcoming Salomon Citytrail Manila event, Salomon calls out
to everyone to elevate their run and mix things up by
exploring new and challenging trails.
