Organizers of the Cebu City Marathon have formally announced that New Balance will be a major sponsor of the second edition of the premier run in Cebu. John Pages and Meyrick Jacalan said in this morning’s launch of the Sprint Race Timers that instead of issuing running singlets, they will be giving away limited edition New Balance shirts imported from the United States.
Pages said, however, that only about 4,500 shirts are available and a certain number will be allocated for each distance: 5K, 21K and 42K. The shirt costs close to P1,000 and since registration will likely be lower than that, it is more than a bargain for the runners. The Cebu City Marathon is scheduled on Jan. 9, 2011. Organizers will be announcing details of the run in the coming weeks.
