Press Release from Summit Media website

Summit Media launches Runner's World
February 03, 2010

For runners, running is not just a hobby -- it's a lifestyle. More attitude than action, running is about being alive and well. As more and more Filipinos get into the habit of running, Summit Media brings to Philippine shores the leading voice of running worldwide -- Runner's World.

Runner's World is a lifestyle magazine that will inform, advise, and motivate runners of all ages and abilities. It aims to help runners achieve their personal health, fitness and performance goals by inspiring them with helpful articles, encouraging stories, and practical tips on running. This title appeals to a wide audience, not just a niche market, of males and females who are either into running or thinking about taking up the sport.

Set to come out four times in 2010, the first issue of Runner's World will be available in every copy of Men's Health and Women's Health this April.

Tadaa!!!

Looks like my crystal ball made the right prediction again.  :D 

Runner's World Philippines will be available four times in 2010.  It is not a monthly issue yet.  And they will not be sold separately.  The magazine will be bundled with every copy of Men's Health and Women's Health Magazine.  It's a good start.
