If you're feeling intimidated, fret not as runners of all fitness levels are welcome to join any stage.
The event is scheduled to start on June 14 at 2 p.m. at the Clark Parade Grounds and will end on June 15 at 8 p.m. at Ayala Avenue.

Hoping to catch the live-action adaptation of How to Train Your Dragon in the big screen? You can do so all while celebrating Father's Day through Bonifacio High Street Cinemas.
Furdads (and furmoms too) are invited to watch the film together with their beloved pets. Each ticket purchase grants access to one human and one furbaby, and it also comes with a free cup of "Pupcorn"–pet-safe, unseasoned, air-popped popcorn from Taters—plus a 10% discount voucher for all Taters products.
But that's not all as those who’ll watch the special screening can also enjoy a 20% discount on Natural Balance Treat big packs when they present their tickets at the Bow & Wow High Street branch from June 15 to 16.
The screening is at 1:00 p.m. at the BHS Cinemas, Central Square.
