2T runners in Merco race
SOME 2,000 runners are expected answer the starting gun when the Merco 64th Anniversary Fun Run hits the road on October 24 in an out-and-back course from the Rizal Park.
Eduardo Hautea, Merco human resource officer, said they have hit almost 1,000 registrants as of Wednesday and expects the number to increase by race day.
"We hope to reach our target as the run is still 10 days to go We drew 1,543 participants last year," Hautea told the regular Davao Sportswriters Association (DSA) Forum Thursday at the Tower Inn.
Hautea said they still have noted seeded runners saying that professional runners usually sign up few days before the footrace.
The race features the male and female 3K 12 years old and below, male and female 5K and male and female 10K categories. The 3K walk-jog with your pet, which was launched last year, is a special event that is again included this year.
He said cash prizes of P3,000, P2,500, P1,500, P1,000 and P700 will be awarded to the top five finishers of the male and female 10K divisions while the first five placers of the 5K open will receive P2,000, P1,500, P1,000, P700 and P500, respectively.
All top three placers will also receive trophies in the annual race sponsored by Merco, Selecta and Nestle Food Services in cooperation with Davao Sunday Runners Club.
The 3K top five winners will take home P1,500, P1,000, P700, P500 and P300 while gift certificates will be awarded to the top three placers of the 3K walk-jog with your pet event.
Registration is still ongoing at Merco Bolton, Quirino and Cabaguio branches. Fee is P150 inclusive of sleeveless shirt.

Jopson to grace HGS Running Camp
WORLD Ironman 70.3 Championships 2009 top Filipino finisher Celnan "Noy" Jopson is the resource speaker of the first-ever Holiday Gym & Spa Running Camp set on October 19 at HGS.
Spokesperson Neil Gellegani on Thursday said this is a great opportunity for athletes, especially running enthusiasts to join the camp that will be handled by such a multi-titled sports personality.
He said Jopson will hold the lecture and workshop from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
"Participants are required to come in their running attire so they won't have to change after the lecture," Gellegani told members of the Davao Sportswriters Association (DSA) during their weekly forum at the Tower Inn Thursday.
He said the camp is free for all HGS members.
Jopson, according to him, will also be the head judge of the Superbodies Search 2010 slated on December 20 at the Gaisano Mall of Davao Atrium.
"There are now 22 candidates for the search that will have the men's and women's categories. A handful of Cebu candidates are arriving on Monday. But the bulk of the entries are from here," Gellegani said.
He, however, said the Superbodies event is a search for the fittest candidate.
"No, this is not a beauty search, where candidates will wear skimpy suits or bikinis. Candidates will don their sports outfits," he said. (MLSA )
