DAVAO CITY: CM Blacklight Illuminates Davao on August 12, 2017

  

“RUNNING FOR SOMETHING IS MORE FUN THAN RUNNING FROM SOMETHING” – Jessica Walsh

I started going to the gym a couple of months ago and I guess it’s safe to say that I have learned to love running as an exercise. I would shy the thought of jogging or running before but today, it’s a different story. That’s why I am really excited about joining this year’s COLOR MANILA RUN. I have participated in fun runs before but this one is just a bit more exciting and literally, COLORFUL!

Following last year’s successful staging of CM Blacklight Davao, Color Manila Events Inc., the prime purveyor of colorful fun runs in the country, brings its signature CM Blacklight event back to the “Crown Jewel of Mindanao”, Davao City, this August 12, 2017, Saturday. The starting point will the at SM Lanang Premier Mall.

Coinciding with this year’s 32^nd Kadayawan Festival, the highly-anticipated, non-timed night run will once again witness participants have the time of their lives while running at their own pace and illuminating Davao City’s thoroughfares with headlamps, neon-colored powder, and bright, contagious smiles. To the Davaoeños delight, the running event will be followed by a Color Festival, where the participants get to douse each other in glow-in-the-dark tinted powder while swaying to the rhythm of today’s hits under the moonlit and star-studded skies—fueling the frolic and festivities in the city. 

“Davaoeños, it’s time to fire up your festive spirits and put your game face on as we treat you to an energy-charged evening brimming with lively colors, lights, and endless laughter at the CM Blacklight! This is going to be a timely equalizer and a revel-filled respite from a whole day of feasting over scrumptious food during the Festival, so we can’t wait to light up Davao, tap on your healthy side, and run and dance the night away!” shares Color Manila VP Justine Cordero.

Registrants of CM Blacklight Davao 2017 have the option to run for 3K, 5K, or 10K categories, and can select between the Deluxe, Rockstar, and the Superstar kits.

Here are the inclusions of each of the three kits:

Priced at Php 750, the Deluxe kit includes a costume singlet, costume prop, race bib, costume drawstring bag, finisher’s medal, and a color packet.

The Rockstar, on one hand, is valued at P1,050, and includes a Dri-FIT shirt, race bib, headlamp, drawstring bag, color packet, and finisher’s medal. This is the kit that I want because of the drifit shirt that comes along with it. 

And last but not the least is the Superstar, which is priced at Php 1,500 which includes a Dri-FIT shirt, race bib, headlamp, three drawstring bags, headwear, CM sticker, color packet, and finisher’s medal.

Onsite registration and kit claiming is ongoing daily up until August 12, 2017, from 11:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M. at the CM Booth located at Upper Ground Floor, in front of Charles and Keith SM Lanang Premier.
