The Cebu Executive Runners Club (CERC) has taken up the cause to support the Bottle School Project by joining Ayala Center Cebu’s Eco Dash: The Bottle School Run. More than 30 members have pledged to run in the 10K and some of their family members will also run in the 5K.

“We at the CERC are very proud to pledge our full support for this environmental running event. In our own way, we would like to contribute and help,” CERC president Jesse Taborada said.

“The CERC will be donating at least 1,000 PET Bottles and more than 30 members will be running,” Taborada added.

Cebu runners will see a familiar face wearing race bib no. 1 in this Sunday’s Cebu City Marathon—Kenyan missionary Simon Losiaboi.

Losiaboi, who has won all the races in Cebu that he joined since he arrived here late last year, will be running his first full marathon this Sunday. Being the only Cebu-based top Kenyan runner, organizer Meyrick Jacalan of the Cebu Executive Runners Club (CERC) said they will be assigning race bib no. 1 to Losiaboi.

Losiaboi told reporters gathered in Mooon Cafe in Ayala Center Cebu yesterday that he is “not really confident” with winning the race because he is not used to the distance. He said he has no target time to finish the race.

Losiaboi said he only trained for the distance in just one month—running on the roads in Cebu and the two Mandaue-Mactan bridges and doing speed work in the Cebu City Sports Center track oval.

The Cebu Executive Runners Club (CERC) will hold its third and last marathon clinic for the Cebu City Marathon in the afternoon of Dec. 5 at the Active Zone in Ayala Center Cebu.

The clinic falls on the week that specialty running store RUNNR is scheduled to open at the Active Zone in Ayala Center Cebu. (Update: RUNNR said it is targeting to open its Cebu branch today, Nov. 28.)

As with the two earlier marathon clinics, the clinic on Dec. 5 is open to the public for free, said CERC’s John Pages.

RUNNING CLINIC. Cebu Executive Runners Club president Jesses Taborada asks a question during the open forum of the 2nd marathon clinic for the Cebu City Marathon.

For the clinic, RUNNR will be flying to Cebu two coaches from Manila—Jim Saret and Julius Giron.

Saret will be talking about running and training techniques and the preparations necessary to take up running as a sport. He will also provide tips for different levels of runners—those still starting out, beginners, advanced runners and marathoners.

Saret will also talk about how to determine readiness and know when to move from 3K to 5K to 10K to 21K and 42K.

Giron, on the other hand, will talk about benefits of using a heart rate monitor, compression wear and forefoot/mid-foot running.
