Rexona Run 2012 Race Routes:
New Things to Expect at Rexona Run Outrun Yourself 2012!
- 21km relay
The new category is designed to inspire 5K and 10K runners to raise their level by taking part in the more challenging 21K race, where a team of 2 runners will run a relay for them to finish the 21K distance. Time to TEAM up! This is to encourage runners to try the 21km category! BOTH runners will get a 21km relay finishers’ medal!
Instead of a baton, each pair will have ONE race belt with their bib number. After one finishes, he will simply remove his belt and transfer it to the next runner.
- Rexona Run Outrun Yourself APP
To help runners train and commit to a faster finishing time, Rexona Run 2012 has created the Rexona Run Outrun Yourself App, which can be downloaded for free via the Rexona Men Facebook page. The app helps runners set a target time for the category to be run courtesy of a running playlist and an occasional voice over as their time check, which they can listen to while training. During the actual run, the app can also be used to help runners set their pace with it’s voice overs, reminding you of you time!
The app also puts together all your songs and puts them together into ONE LONG TRACK. That way, you can always choose your one special workout song!
- Rexona Run Outrun Yourself Challenge
Rexona pushes each runner to go further and do better by setting a certain time for each category! 5km runners are encouraged to finish 30minutes after gun start while the 21km runners (both solo and relay) are encourage to finish within 2hrs.
All runners who finish within that time will receive a special token from Rexona! Hence to help everyone beat this time, several volunteer pacers will be present on the event date to help each of us get our desired time! Runners who are able to finish at record time get to take home a commemorative key chain as a souvenir!

Message from RunRio about Postponing the run:
Dear Runners,
Due to the heavy rains, we will be postponing the REXONA RUN 2012 event to SEPTEMBER 23, Sunday still at the Mall of Asia grounds. We feel that due to the current calamity, it would be inappropriate to still push through with the event. We have taken into consideration that a lot of the runners may be living in affected areas, and that our route marshals are part of the AFP so th
Instead, we will be focusing our efforts on relief operations this weekend, particularly in Marikina. You are very much welcome to participate or help out in any way. More details will be posted soon.
Thank you for understanding. Please stay safe and dry!
Coach Rio
