Rock ‘n’ Roll run June 19 in Manila
The Walled City of Intramuros and the National Museum will be highlighted as backdrops to a sporting event for the first time on June 19 when the Asics Rock “n” Roll Running Series is flagged off with thousands already signed up in four categories.
Trophies in the 42K, 21K, 10K and 5K events will be up for grabs, before a concert party is held in the evening, the very thing that makes the event unique.
Participants will be treated to music as they run through the streets of Manila, which will be celebrating its 450th founding anniversary.
