MANILA, Philippines - A big field of local and international runners is expected to vie for honors in the 2012 Subic International Marathon set Jan. 21-22.

Green, lush and clean race routes with ample hydrating stations every 1.5 kilometers, and rest facilities on every turnaround are some of the highlights participants can look forward to.
