Team 7-Eleven Philippines Ready for the Ho Chi Minh City Intl Marathon in Vietnam

PRESS RELEASE

After two years of being relegated to a virtual race format due to the pandemic, the 7-Eleven Run Series had its much-awaited big comeback via the in-person/physical race format last September 25, 2022, at the Filinvest City in Alabang and in Cebu Business Park and SM City Davao for the Cebu and Davao legs, respectively.

This 2022 race series was very much anticipated by both recreational and competitive runners because apart from providing a very challenging but well-organized run, 7-Eleven Philippines, the run series' prime mover, and with the support of their various sponsors has always prepared awesome post-run treats for everybody.

Out of the total 35,000 participants for all three legs, the top overall Filipino male and female runners from the 42k, 32km, and 21km categories will be given a chance to compete in an international race event. This year, the race will be the 5th Techcombank Ho Chi Minh City International Marathon in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Seeing action this December 11, 2022 in Ho Chi Minh City are the following qualifiers: 

Out of the 16 qualifiers, six are having their international race debut courtesy of 7-Eleven Philippines. Those who qualified for the first time are Florencio Lapiz ( 42km, 3rd overall male), Arlan Arbois and Jerome Casinillo (32km, 1st and 2nd overall, respectively) Rosalyn Tadias and Stephanie Cadosale (32km, 2nd and 3rd overall female, respectively), and Roy Laudit (21km, 3rd overall male).

Since its inception last 2013, The Run 7-Eleven Series became a channel for Filipino elite runners to show their skills and talent as runners and prove that they have what it takes to compete with runners from all over the world through an international race. The delegation will travel and compete, all expenses paid for, with pocket money, and their needs are taken care of. Apart from this, runners who successfully finish in any of the top three overall spots in their respective category will not only bring home the race prizes but also receive a bonus cash prize from 7-Eleven Philippines.

This is the first time that Philippine Seven Corporation will be sending a Team 7-Eleven Philippines delegation to an international race again after taking a two-year break due to the COVID-19 pandemic.” 7-Eleven Philippines will continue with its grass-roots program to nurture and support our Filipino runners who aspire to get the chance to represent the country in an international race,” shared 7-Eleven General Merchandise Division Head and Managing Director for Digital, Mr. Jose C. Ang Jr.

The delegation, composed of the 16 Filipino elite runners together with executives from Philippine Seven Corporation, is scheduled to leave for Vietnam on Friday, December 9, 2022. This gives the runners enough time to get settled and prepare for the race on Sunday, December 11, 2022.

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.

Road to Run United Philippine Marathon (RUPM) DOS!

Flashback...

Condura Skyway Marathon 2012 - February 5, 2012 - 05:14:09

Run United Philippine Marathon 2012 - October 28, 2012 - 04:40:56

Standard Chartered Hongkong Marathon 2013 - February 24, 2013 - 04:04:28

This Sunday, October 6, I'll be running my fourth 42km at the second Run United Philippine Marathon. Eventhough this is not my first marathon, I still feel excited, nervous and a bit apprehensive. I believe this is normal for runners participating in full marathon (42km). My target is to beat my RUPM record last year. I'd like to share my final preparations two weeks before the race.

Group Exercises (Body Step / Body Attack / Body Combat)

I regularly attend group classes whenever I don't have time to run outdoor. It improves my strength through core conditioning, squats and lunges. It also increase my heart and lung capacity through a full body cardio workout.

Yoga (Hot Flow / Core Flow)

I also attend yoga twice a week to loosen up lower back and thighs, ankle stability, calves and tight hamstrings. It also bring focus and quiet my mind that I need on race day.

Cardiovascular Machines

Steppers to strengthen my lower body

Fuel
On my three marathons I mentioned above, I always experienced "hitting the wall." Also called "bonk" is a condition caused by the depletion of glycogen stores in the liver and muscles. Sudden fatigue, exhaustion, muscle cramping and loss of energy are the manifestation of this condition. This can be avoided by ensuring/maintaining that glycogen levels are high during physical activity by eating/drinking carbs-rich substances. Last September 26, I was lucky to be invited by Unilab Active Health (ULAH) to try the new product that helps endurance athletes during training or race.

Active Health Sports Gel

The Active Health Sports Gel is a source of lasting energy. It contains maltodextrin (the most easily digested form of carbohydrate) which contains 60% carbs. It has electrolytes that replenish the sodium and pottassium lost through sweat. It is handy since it comes in a small, single-serve packet that has a strip at the top that can be peeled off to reveal an opening through which the gel can be consumed.

 

The Active Health Sports Gel is worth a try for runners, I didn't experienced an upset stomach after gel consumption on one of my long runs. Available on Berry Mix flavor which is delicious and it's not a challenge to ingest. Passed my criteria for flavor, texture and stomach acceptance. Each 43g sachet contains 29g of carbohydrates (116kcal) and amounts to about one mouthful. As with most energy gels, the price of the gel would be a parity (equivalence in value) with the existing gels at the market. Overall, the new product is a good source of increased energy, avoid the dangers of dehydration since is replenish electrolytes lost, compact rich carb source, easy to eat and very handy and portable.

trying out the gel

Good news to all RUPM runners!!! Active Health Sports Gel will be launched on race day (October 6).  I recommend you to try the new product of ULAH for your upcoming trainings and runs for maximum PR performance.

Relax and Extra Sleep

The best thing to do now on the final week is to relax and to chill. RUPM runners do your best, don't quit and be proud knowing that running a marathon is difficult! 

See you on Sunday! :)
