The Greenfield City Sunset Run 2010

Armed with the successes and learnings from last year’s race, Greenfield Development Corporation together with top race organizer Finishline, now brings to us the second edition of the annual race – The Greenfield City Run. Now tagged as the Greenfield City Sunset Run 2010, this year’s race is aptly named because the race veers away from the usual early morning city races. Aside from the venue being the residential and industrial development in Sta Rosa, Laguna – Greenfield City, the race will be held on the late afternoon enticing runners with not just an out-of-town race but also a sunset run experience. With the sun’s heat providing a big challenge to runners this summer and not to mention the boredom of running in the same race route over and over, this event is one that is just too good to pass up on. 

Check below the race details as shared to us by Greenfield Development Corporation and Finishline during the event’s Blogger’s Launch held last March 29. Read on folks! 🙂
