2nd QCIM to Attract 10,000 Runners

MANILA, Philippines - The Quezon City government hopes to draw more than 10,000 local and foreign runners when it hosts the second edition of the QC International Marathon slated in December.

QC Mayor Herbert Bautista has given his official support to his city’s hosting of the event, which expects to double the more than 5,000 runners who took part in last year’s inaugurals.

In a recent courtesy call to Bautista, officials from the organizing RUNNEX (the Executive Runners Club of the Phils., Inc.) vowed to make the December event an even greater success than the first one.

The RUNNEX officials also met with QC Vice Mayor Joy Belmonte.

RUNNEX has been organizing running clinics, marathons and similar events for close to three decades. The year-end QCIM will be the biggest event of its kind and is tipped to be at par with the world’s biggest marathons.
