RunRio Trilogy first leg set April 7 at MOA grounds
The first of three legs of the RunRio Trilogy 2019 kicks off on April 7 at Mall of Asia grounds in Pasay City where at least 6,000 participants are expected.
The “progression” series encourages runners to advance to longer-distance categories that lead up to a full marathon. It will be spread throughout a six-month period from April to September, giving runners enough time to recuperate and train.
The first leg will feature the 21K, 10K and 5K distances.

Winners of the different age-group categories will get entry tickets to the Chicago Marathon slated Oct. 13.
