Sports Industry Awards Winner for Best Mass Participation - COLOR MANILA to Enter UAE and USA in 2017
COLOR
MANILA recently held a press conference at Kerry Sports, Shangri-La at the Fort, to
announce its line-up of events for
2017.
First on its line-up of events for 2017 is the upcoming COLOR MANILA RUN -YEAR 5 (#CMR5),
which will be held on January
8, 2017, at the Mall of Asia (MOA) Grounds in Pasay City. COLOR MANILA RUN
- YEAR 5, is a widely
anticipated event for most runners, who can choose between 3k, 5k, 10k and
21k runs.
“We are happy to be on our 5th year for COLOR MANILA RUN. This is our
biggest annual event and we
usually like starting the year with a big bang. Some of the runners are
already familiar faces who have been
participating in our events from Day 1. We are always thankful for their
support and we look forward to seeing
them more in the future”, says Justin Cordero, Vice President for COLOR
MANILA.
Apart from COLOR MANILA RUN - YEAR 5, several other events will be held in various provinces across the country.
Mr. Em continues, “We have also partnered with the Tourism Promotions Board
(TPB), since it is also one way
to encourage sports tourism in the country. For some of the participants,
the events become a way for them
to see the rest of the country; by joining different fun runs in different
cities. For example, last October, we
had participants who joined us from the Costume Run in Alabang to Clark the
next day, then capped it with
the Blacklight Run (night run) in Vigan the day after. It was a long
weekend after all, and some took the time
out to have a vacation run of sorts.”
Apart from its local events, COLOR MANILA has ambitious plans to enter
Dubai, United Arab Emirates and the
United States. “We were more than inspired by our win at the Asia Sports
Industry Awards (SPIA), that as a
Philippine sports entity, we can compete internationally. Perhaps on our
5th year, this will be the perfect time
to enter the international market. We are indeed ready to bring that
Filipino brand of fun and excitement to
other parts of the world”, says Mr. Em.
For the remainder of 2016, COLOR MANILA still has CM Black Light Run at
Clark, Pampanga on December 3
and the CM Black Light Run to be held in Dagupan on December 10, 2016.
Tickets are still available at

ABOUT COLOR MANILA:
COLOR MANILA encourages everyone to run, and to illustrate to non-runners
how enjoyable the sport is, we
bring out the real fun in the ‘fun’ run, through a color festival. We are
the paintbrushes, and You are the
Paint. We carry the palette but You make your own Strokes. You become the
human canvas, as we literally
bring out your most energetic and happiest hue.
You are the Color, the human Canvas. You are the bits and pieces of this
kaleidoscope. Because life is not a
competition. Rather, it is a race where you run at your own pace, where you
throw high-fives to people, where
you carry all the colors of your experiences. We make this as the most
exciting fun run ever, that you’d want
to do it over and over again. We want to give you that unique kaleidoscope
experience every time!
