Sundown Marathon Manila in 2015?
The Sundown Marathon is a popular running event in Singapore. Plans on having a Sundown Marathon in the Philippine are on the way.
Sundown Marathon started in 2008 with 7,000 runners and grew to 29,000 runners in 2013. I joined the Singapore Sundown Marathon last 2013 and it was a great experience running after midnight in the streets of Singapore.
The event organizers, HiVelocity is now planning to expand the event across Asia. Sundown Malaysia is to be held on June 21 this year. Sundown Marathon Philippines is singled out to be the next destination. Sundown Marathon is also being planned in Taiwan, China, Japan and Korea.
How soon will the Sundown Marathon in Manila be? I hope very soon. It’s even possible that it can happen this year.
The chances are high that it will materialize since a night run has been possible in Manila. I would guess it will be held along Roxas Blvd or SM MOA. Or even as far as Nuvali if the numbers would be too big. Or back in Marikina, perhaps?
The Sundown Marathon in the Philippines may not be unique since similar night marathons have been held previously. But it surely would add another exciting running event for the running community.
I better train to be ready for the Sundown Marathon anytime. 😀

Sure! But why 2015? Why not 2014?
Ikanga ni Boy Abunda “now na!”
tama! why not this coming november or december 2014 na agad!
2015 is just a guess. But there is a chance that it will also happen within the year. 😀 November and December would be a very crowded month for running if they will pick the date here.
Nuvali pls 🙂
MOA and Roxas Blvd the best option.
That’s my best bet also if they want it in Manila. Other venues would create terrible traffic for the night run even at midnight. 😛
