MANILA, Philippines ? A huge field of 2,000 is expected to see action in the Crocs Prepair to Run, which fires off September 13 at SM Mall of Asia grounds in Pasay City and offers P50,000 in cash prizes and fabulous raffle items, including a Samsung LCD.

The registry continues to swell two weeks into the event, put up by Crocs, Inc., with All Condition Gear Philippines, Inc. (ACGPI), the exclusive distributor of Crocs in the country. The event features competitions in the 3k, 5k and 10k categories among race enthusiasts, running club members and weekend runners.

?It?s going to be fun and exciting. It?s our way of promoting the Crocs brand and at the same time, encouraging people to have a healthy lifestyle,? said Crocs Inc. vice-president Franco Limjuco in the PSA Forum Tuesday at the Shakey?s UN Avenue branch.

Joining Limjuco in the sessions supported by Outlast Battery, Shakey?s, Accel and Pagcor were Roselle Cristobal, manager, All Condition Gear Phils (ACGPI), and ACGPI running coach Rio Dela Cruz.
