Runners, seasoned or just a pack of friends and families, have another organized running event to look forward to on June 1st this year, the Johndorf Run 2025, within the Cebu Business Park.
Property developer Johndorf Ventures Corp. marks its 40th year building residential communities and recently an office tower with the event that offers runners perks for their participation.
Cash prizes of up to P12,000 will be at stake along with the gold, silver and bronze medals for the top winners in every race category, announced Jannie Cañares, assistant marketing manager of Johndorf.
The race will have four categories – 3K, 6K, 9K and 12K. It starts and ends in front of the northeast side of the newly-inaugurated Johndorf Tower on Mindanao Ave., located across Ayala Terraces on the opposite side.
Participants will get the usual race shirt and race bib with a timing chip, plus a drawstring bag and a raffle entry, according to Cañares.
Finishers will get a souvenir medal each, while those who complete the 9K and 12K runs will further get a finisher’s shirt each, sized from extra small to 3X large, she said.
The call time on June 1 will be at 3am. A Zumba warm up session follows the short opening program at 4am. Gun starts at 4:30am, starting with the 12K category, and down to the 3K group.
After the race, the 3K and 6K runners will be served with snacks, while those who run the 9K and 12K stretch will be provided with a sumptuous meal, she added.
