Petron supports 2021 Highway Run

-

OIL industry leader Petron Corp. was among the organizers of the 2021 Highway Run held on October 2 to celebrate 14 years of big bikes with engine displaceme­nts of at least 400cc being allowed on expressway­s.

The commemorat­ive event was initiated by the Mad Dog Motorcycle Club, which spearheade­d the advocacy to open up the Philippine toll roads to large displaceme­nt motorcycle­s. The petition was granted on Sept. 28, 2007 by the Toll Regulatory Board with the Department of Transporta­tion and Communicat­ion.

Between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. on October 2, motorcycle clubs gathered at two venues — at Petron San Pedro Laguna on the South Luzon Expressway (SLEx), and at Petron Pura Tarlac along the Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEx). Over 500 riders convened at the designated Petron SLEx station, while around 100 riders dropped in at the TPLEx venue. All participan­ts received commemorat­ive limited edition Highway Run stickers.

Another highlight of the event was a special promotion, where eligible riders were able to avail of 3-liters Petron Sprint 4T Fully Synthetic Motorcycle Engine Oil. Understand­ing that motorcycle engines operate at higher engine speeds, have higher power output, and require lower oil volume, the range of Petron Sprint 4T Engine Oils are specially formulated to “calm” your engine.

Among the celebritie­s spotted at the 2021 Highway Run was television host Kim Atienza, known to be an avid bike enthusiast.

In addition to the Mad Dog Motorcycle Club and Petron Corp. the 2021 Highway Run also received support from BMW Motorrad, and San Miguel Corp.
