Organizers of the Cebu City Marathon on Jan. 9, 2011 have finalized the routes for the 42K and 21K races. The major differences in next year’s routes are 1.) runners will pass through the Cebu South Coastal Road tunnel for the first time and 2.) the South Road Properties (SRP) portion has been made longer for the 42K.

Runners of the 42K and 21K routes will also be passing by the scening Malacañang sa Sugbo, Fort San Pedro and Plaza Independencia on the way to the tunnel.

Organizers, however, are still determining the 5K route. They said they might not use an out-and-back route because of the volume of registrants.

Cebu City Marathon to give away limited-edition New Balance shirts to runners

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.

Below is the design of the shirt. Click on the image to enlarge.
