MANILA, Philippines — ColorManila, the country’s number one fun-run organizer, drew another sold out crowd when it held its CM Paradise Run at the Laoag sand dunes in Ilocos Norte over the weekend.
The event gave the runners an early feel of a summer escape to the beach or to paradise with the various color stations adorned with palm trees, hammocks and garlands, which only served as a perfect backdrop to their selfies with friends and family.
After the race, thousands of runners got to experience the freshest and newest mixes of the DJ’s at ColorManila’s trade mark CM Color Festival, where color powder was thrown in the air as the participants danced and grooved to the music of DJ’s on stage.
“This is the first time that we brought ColorManila to Laoag and we are very happy that this has become successful. We are also thankful to our local government unit partners,” said CM vice president Justine Cordero.
The event was held in cooperation with Ilocos Norte’s First District Senior Board Member Ria Fariñas, who is a known fitness buff, with Atty. Karen Jimeno gracing the event.
Meanwhile, ColorManila’s next Paradise Run will be held in Laguna on April 8 at Greenfield, its official venue partner.
It will have three race distances, 3K, 5K and 10K. As for the kits, runners for both events can choose from the Deluxe Kit, Rockstar Kit and the Superstar Kit.
Registration is still ongoing. For details, visit www.colormanila.com.
