Team 7-Eleven Philippines Reign in Da Nang International Marathon 2017


Team 7-Eleven Philippines Reign in Da Nang International Marathon 2017

Da Nang Vietnam, August 6, 2017 - This year’s Da Nang International Marathon was successfully concluded this morning in Danang, Vietnam with six Filipino runners, representing Team 7-Eleven Philippines, taking podium spots in the full marathon and half-marathon races .

Lany Cardona of Pangasinan cruised through the 42km race to land as the champion of the women’s division, finishing the course in 03:27:26 while Rafael Pescos of Cebu finished second in the men’s division with a finish time of 02:40:06. Richard Salano, a member of the Philippine Army secured the third spot in the podium of the 21km race with a finish time of 1:20:36 while the trio of Jho-An Banayag-Villarma (01:31:53), Nhe-Ann Barcena (01:37:08) and Ruffa Sorongon (01:37:38) swept the first, second and third spots of the 21km women’s category.
Meanwhile, Lizane Abella (4:20:19) and Azlan Pagay (3:02:06) took the Top 1 honors in their respective age group for the 42km and Kennechie Lorbes (1:49:10) took Top 5 for his Age Group in the 21km race.
“Masaya kami kasi ang 7-Eleven ay walang sawa na pinadadala kami sa ganitong international race.” said Lany Cardona who together with Rafael Pescos were given a slot to race in the Shonan International Marathon happening on December in Kanagawa, Japan with all expenses paid, as part of their prize for winning in the 42km category of this race.




Nine Filipino runners participated in this morning’s race, four of them in the full marathon while five in the half-marathon – a fulfillment of the commitment given by Philippine Seven Corporation (7-Eleven Philippines) to the top 3 (male and female) marathon and full marathon winners of the 7-Eleven Run that was held in the Filinvest City, Alabang last February.

According to Project Head Ms. Michelle Saludes, “We at 7-Eleven want to give Filipino runners not part of the Philippine Team the opportunity to showcase their abilities and be recognized in an international competition.”

Local and foreign participants coming from 50 countries, competed in the Da Nang International Marathon 2017 where the route brought the experience of running through Da Nang’s beautiful coastline passing the bridges across the poetic Han’s river in the middle of the city during sunrise.

This is the fifth year that 7-Eleven Philippines has brought Filipino runners to an international race giving them full support from taking care of all expenses, pocket money and with the help of sponsor Asics Tiger, a complete race suit.

“We will continue to encourage runners who aspire to represent the country in an international competition through the 7-Eleven Run Series which we are planning to expand by having another race in Cebu before the year ends and which will serve as a qualifying race to the 7-Eleven Run happening in Manila next year.” shared Mr. Jose Ang Jr., General Merchandise Division Head.

The participation of Filipino runners was made possible through the effort of Philippine Seven Corporation together with the support of sponsors Safeguard, Selecta Ice Cream, Pocari Sweat, Del Monte, Nature’s Spring, Summit Water, Dole Pineapple, Powerade, Solar Sports, CNN Philippines, Skyway, Filinvest and Asics.

Legion Run Philippines CANCELLED

Please see the announcement of the organizer on the cancellation of the event

**********

Hi!

It is with a heavy heart that we wish to inform you that Legion Run Philippines is CANCELED.

The success of Legion Run relies heavily on the obstacles that have been civil engineered, blueprinted and built by licensed contractors. Unfortunately, these need to be shipped from Bulgaria. We have bumped into a shipping problem and determined that it would be impossible to have the container vans arrive in time for the March 4 event in Greenfield City.

We are saddened that Legion Run won’t push through, but we hope you’ll support us when we’ve sorted things out and hopefully be able to return at a future time.

DO I NEED A TEAM TO PARTICIPATE?
It’d be great if you came along with your own group, but for as long as you are willing to help
yourself and others, you can participate!
If you don’t have a team though, do not hesitate to buy an individual ticket. You will find that you
will not be bored at the event, not even for a minute, even if you wanted to! The obstacles are
designed in such a way that each and every participant will be a part of one massive team with
one goal.
You will run side-by-side with hundreds of other participants and will most definitely make some
spontaneous friendships along the course (yes, just one of the Legion Run course side effects!)
Share your strengths and do not leave anyone behind!

HOW DO I CREATE A TEAM?
All you need to do is pay for the first ticket. During the signup process you will be asked to set up
the team name, generate a secret code and voila! Your team has just been created.
People you invite to the team may then join whenever they want by entering the secret team
code.
Upon registration everyone pays for their own ticket individually but benefit from the team
discount.
• How to join my team?
Just fill in the registration form, add your team name and the secret team code in the appropriate
fields. It’s as simple as that!
IgnitePhilippines Inc.
• How many people can be on a team?
It’s entirely up to you!
However to benefit from the team discount, a minimum number of 25 team members apply.

SHOULD I TRAIN FOR LEGION RUN?
Some follow strict diets and workout routines. Others eat 2 minute noodles and regularly
participate in drinking sessions.
Either training plan is fine by us.
What we do require is for you to train yourself to be aware when another person needs your help.
We will soon announce a Team of Fitness Trainer with their contact details.

I CAN'T SWIM. CAN I STILL PARTICIPATE?
Absolutely!
Though we have numerous water obstacles, none of them require basic swimming skills. All you
need is the courage to start and go through with it.

ARE MINORS ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE?
Our participants may act like grown-up children most of the time, but they all are over 18.
There will be activities for spectators though so children and non-registered adults may enjoy
what our partners have to offer outside the course.
We will be allowing 16-18 year old teenagers to participate with their registered guardians
(family or relatives)

WHAT DO I RECEIVE AFTER I REGISTER?
You will receive a confirmation mail immediately after registration online. This will include your
ticket as well as a waiver form. Please print it, read the attached waiver carefully and then sign it.
Additionally, in the week before the event, we will send you two more emails with useful info such
as recommendations, list of must-haves and directions on how to reach us.

I HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED A CONFIRMATION EMAIL. WHAT DO I DO?
Please check your spam folder first.
If you still can’t find the confirmation mail, notify us at philippines@legionrun.com and we’ll fix
things up for you.

CAN I TRANSFER MY TICKET TO SOMEONE ELSE/ANOTHER EVENT?
Yes. Changes are possible up to two weeks before the event date.
Change fees may apply.

CAN I GET A REFUND?
Refunds will only be done in cases where legion run itself cancels the event.
Under no other circumstances will a refund be allowed.

EVENT DAY
When should I arrive?
We recommend you arrive an hour before the wave you want to participate in starts. the waves
will be every 20 minutes with 175 people in each wave. GUN STARTS at 8:00AM. Kit Claiming and
Check in is open starting 6AM.
Allow yourself enough time to park, register, warm up.
Take in the setup of the event grounds and familiarize yourself with it.
This will be a good chance for you to check out the activities with your group as well as shop, eat
and get to know the other people joining the fun!
Keep in mind that, if you come late, you may not be able to join your team’s wave and will have to
run in the next available wave.

What do I need to bring in order to check in?
Bring a valid government ID (ID card, passport or driving license) plus your printed and signed
ticket.

What should I wear?
Anything you feel comfortable wearing while running, jumping, climbing and crawling through
mud is fine. Recommended:
• Half-finger training (grip) gloves
• Long tights / compression pants
• Knee high socks
• Sports shoes

During the run, do NOT wear anything that you would not want it to be covered with mud all over
Don’t think so much about looking cool, be practical and wear clothes you won’t be worried
about. But if you won’t be worried about wearing a costume, your pyjamas or your favorite dress
then by all means go for it for as long as you can do the course in it! It is meant to be fun after all!

How long does it take to run the course?
Finish time depends on you and your team, on whether you are competitive by nature or you are
doing the course just for the fun of it.
The average finish time is an hour and a half.

Am I allowed to skip obstacles?
Of course! Remember?! This is not a competition, so there are no penalties for bypassing.
In fact, we actively encourage you to skip obstacles if you are even the slightest bit unsure. Feel
free to just take photographs, videos or cheer people on if you choose to bypass.
The idea is to challenge one’s self and have fun, not to be terrified and get injured to the point of
not having fun anymore!

Will there be food and drinks on site?
Along the course there will be several stations with free water and sports drink for all the
participants.
There will also be food and drink vendors on site offering something for everyone, so please don’t
bring food and drinks with you.

Will there be medical help?
Yes. Several first aid teams will be positioned along the course, ready to assist immediately if
medical help is needed.
Medical city south Luzon is also 500 meters away from the event premises.

Will there be any after-party?
Why after?! The whole event itself is a priceless party – there will be food, drinks, music and some
happy muddy creatures wandering around.

TRANSPORT, PARKING, FACILITIES
The location map and GPS coordinates are listed on your event page.
Additionally, in the week before the event we will email you the directions to the site. In the
meantime, keep an eye on the Facebook page of your event for more news and updates.

Do you offer transport to the event location?
We don’t. However feel free to use the Facebook page of the event to search for or post ridesharing
announcements.
But who knows, surprises are everywhere. So stay tuned.

Will there be parking available at the event?
Yes, Paseo de Sta Rosa. Minimal fee applies.

Will there be showers and portalet?
Yes. Do not expect five-star facilities though. You’ll be able to hose down mud and sweat at the
end of the course. We kindly ask all participants to use the shower facilities wisely in order to
avoid unnecessary queues.

SPECTATORS
Spectators are surely allowed! The more the merrier!
The fun is definitely worth it!
They will also be able to choose their own activities from the host of event partners on the day!

Do you charge a spectator fee?
No.

Am I allowed to walk the course along with the participants?
Hell yeah! We are among the few in the obstacle course industry that allow spectators to fully
experience the event thrill. They are allowed to follow the participants at some of the course and
take pictures. But please note that spectators must not get in the way of participants, attempt or
complete obstacles.

Am I allowed to take pictures or make videos on site?
As many as you want! But if you represent a media, you need to request accreditation and
provide us a copy of the footage afterwards.

Can minors and kids come as spectators?
Sure they can! There will be plenty of activities for them too! If you want to enjoy the Legion Run
vibe to its fullest though, we recommend you make sure there is someone else attending to their
needs while you are at the course.

Can I bring my dog?
Only k-9 and guide dogs will be allowed at the event.
We’re sure your pets are awesome but we’d like to protect them too from any harm from the
event.
