The Rock ‘n’ Roll Series adds another milestone to its enduring collection of road running events as it hits Manila roads on June 19, marking the first time that the series known for lining up race routes with live bands, cheer teams and themed water stations will be staged in Southeast Asia (SEA).
“We are excited to add the City of Manila to the Rock ‘n’ Roll Running Series as the first new host city in Southeast Asia,” Jeff Edwards, managing director of the Asia Region for The IRONMAN Group, announced on Tuesday. “
The City of Manila provides exciting opportunities for both our runners and our brand. We are proud that we can be a part of showcasing and highlighting what the city has to offer the runners and their support crews who travel to the area.”
Events on tap are the marathon, half-marathon, 10K and 5K races with ASICS serving as the event’s title partner. Registration will open shortly. For details, visit runrocknroll.com/manila.
