by Cheryl Villareal on Jun 24th, 2015
Since it started with the Battle of the Sexes last 2012, the Sofitel Manila runs had quickly become a race most people would look forward to. It is not only fun and organized, but it’s a race for a cause too – one factor I feel is very important when choosing races. Last year, Sofitel Philippine Plaza held its first half marathon.

by Cheryl Villareal on Jun 11th, 2015

Boy was I wrong… well, at least for the case of 7-eleven. As mentioned in my previous entry, 7-eleven has had a total of 3 runs in the past years where they award the top 3 males/females from the 21k and 42k categories with a slot to an upcoming internati...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )
