Color Manila run slated at MOA grounds
Color Manila gears up for another fun competition and celebration with athletes and celebrities gracing the CM Paradise Run on Jan. 7 at the MOA event grounds in Pasay.
“The best part of the Color Manila experience is its ability to keep you in the moment, reminding you that it is worth celebrating. Above all, it is the warmth of everyone who joins. It definitely feels like coming home,” said Bb. Pilipinas 2017 Princess Carbonell.
Rugby player Chris Everingham of the Philippine Volcanoes said the event gets better and better every year while TV personality Sam YG, who also regularly hosts the post-New Year run, said the CM Paradise run, featuring four race distances – 3K, 5L, 10K and 21K – is pure fun
“When you start joining a Color Manila race, you go through the race route, we don’t want you to hurry up and just aim for the finish line. It’s not about that. You enjoy the journey, you enjoy each color station, you roll in the streets, we see runners do ‘color angels’ and take photos. Because these memories are going to last forever,” said Color Manila vice president Justine Cordero.
The experience will take runners through various color stations with palm trees, garlands and hammocks to be capped by the CM Color Festival where runners will get to groove and dance to the music of the DJ, as they simultaneously throw colored powder in the air.
Registration is still ongoing. For details, visit at colormanila.com.
