Dear Fellow Runners,

 

Welcome to the Third Quezon City International Marathon (QCIM). 

We are pleased to announce that the QCIM is now an annual sporting event to be held every first Sunday of December with the Executive Runners Club of the Phil. Inc (RUNNEX) as race organizer. 

RUNNEX is a non stock, non profit organization composed of executives, professionals and entrepreneurs with a common passion for long distance running. It has been organizing races and conducting free running clinics for the past 28 years. Its main mission is to promote running not only as a sports but as a way to a healthy lifestyle. 

As the premiere running club in the country, RUNNEX constantly seeks new ideas and ways to fully satisfy the needs of runners, improve running events and propagate free scientific running clinics. 

As race organizer, RUNNEX aims to separate the QCIM from the other running events by making it inclusive, affordable, advocacy driven, sustainable and enjoyable to all. The QCIM must be the race of choice of runners, sponsors and other stakeholders. 

We are fortunate to have sponsors who share our vision of making the QCIM a world class sporting event in the mold of the great city marathons abroad. We are convinced that the QCIM will become the next destination of local and foreign runners.  

This year, SM Development Corporation (SMDC), is QCIM's main sponsor with naming rights. 

We are grateful to the Quezon City Government under the leadership of Hon. Mayor Herbert Bautista and Hon.Vice Mayor Joy Belmonte for giving us the opportunity to be of service to the running community. 

Run with us on December 4, 2011 and enjoy the race of your life. Together, we can make history.

  

Sincerely yours,

  

Rodolfo Rudy Fernandez
Chairman

Dear Fellow Runners,

The Marathon (42K) has been described as the “Mt. Everest of Running... the one distance that many would want to conquer, a great source of pride and accomplishment.”   

I was officially admitted as a  member of the Executive Runners Club Phil. Inc. (RUNNEX) after completing my first full marathon. Joining the club and marathoning is a life-changing experience. I found fulfillment in running together with friends who share the common love for the sports. More importantly, I found meaning in RUNNEX’s mission of promoting running as a way to a healthy lifestyle." Since 1983, I have been involved with RUNNEX in organizing races and free running clinics.

As your Race Director and fellow runner, it is my honor to share my experience and help bring back the true spirit of running and marathoning.  

Join us on December 4, 2011 in a race organized by runners for the benefit of runners. 
 
Cheers!

 

Gerardo “Gerry” Manlapaz
Race Director
