This year’s RunRio Trilogy/Run United Series of races has a unique 21km and 21km Finisher’s Medal. Each race leg’s medal forms a third of a bigger medal which will be completed only if one completes the 21km/21km/32km of the three legs. Look at the picture below to see what I mean!

start collecting your medal puzzle pieces by registering for and conquering the three legs' longest race distances!

ASSEMBLY AND GUN START TIMES:

SHUTTLE SERVICE:

RunRio/Unilab Active Health will be providing a SHUTTLE SERVICE for 21km participants. The service will have the SM Mall of Asia as its pick-up point and will bring the 21km runners to the 21km starting line at the BGC.

Why SM Mall of Asia as pick-up point? The race owners and organizers considers those 21km runners who may have other members of the family who will be running a shorter distance so SM Mall of Asia is a more feasible originating point. Besides, there are more available parking areas there than in BGC.

More details and mechanics for the Shuttle Service will be posted once available.

BAGGAGE AREA/SERVICE:

Baggage Services will be available at the BGC race area in the form of ROVING BAGGAGE SERVICE VANS which will be on standby prior to race start and will move to the SM Mall of Asia to bring these checked-in baggages to the designated Baggage Claim Areas.

CW-X Performance Clothing

I have always said I so like my CW-X gears such as my compression tights and sports bra, proof to that is my former POST about the said product. I recently received through my email a press release about CW-X from RUNNR Store and thought it will be nice to be able to share it with you all especially if you are on the lookout for such. Read on! 🙂

SECOND SKIN. More than being like the second skin, CW-X performance clothing helps improve energy efficiency and provides maximum injury prevention.

TAKE THAT EDGE TO YOUR GAME WITH CW-X PERFORMANCE WEAR

THERE are huge misconceptions about the most important gear in various sports.Shoes for running and football, bicycles for cycling—the list goes on. These really are important tools for the competitive athlete and even the ordinary fitness enthusiast.

But just as important, if not more, is clothing–which is actually the thing closest to the body.

These days, it’s not just about quick-drying, ultra light clothing material anymore—just think why the lightning-quick runners from the islands choose to don the tights, and why those cage superstars from the sunshine state and soccer’s samba kings wear performance tops, shorts and socks underneath those so-called dry and light high-tech kits.

RUNNR has made accessible to local athletes and fitness enthusiasts the world’s best running gear, including the revolutionary shoe-fitting service Footworx and now world-class compression performance wear CW-X.

Performance clothing helps improve energy efficiency and provides maximum injury prevention on top of other scientific innovations that improve the chances of achieving higher goals and posting better results for athletes in different sports.

For runners, compression wear is essential in having a more comfortable run and faster muscle recovery, which lead to quicker times, among other benefits.

Japan’s Wacoal Corp. has spent half a century creating clothing born of a deep understanding of the body. Combining its scientific knowledge of the human anatomy with its experience in complex fabrications and apparel design, the company entered the performance sports apparel market in Japan in 1991 with CW-X® Performance Conditioning Wear.

Now much has improved in performance garments and Wacoal leads the industry with patented technology such as the CW-X® Conditioning Web.

Each CW-X performance gear—from tops to lower-body compression wea—provides targeted support for specific muscles and joints. It also boosts blood circulation, minimizing lactic acid buildup and muscle soreness during and after activity.

Faster muscle recovery means less idle time and more productive minutes or hours in the field, which could spell the difference between winning and losing.

CW-X Versatx Performance Tops promote a proper posture and better shoulder and arm movement by supporting the trapezius muscles and scapular bones.

The various lower-body compression wear such as the Pro Tights/Shorts, Expert Tights/Shorts, Performx Tights, Versatx Tights, Stabilyx Tights and Ventilator Tights provide different support systems for specific needs, such as suspension system for quads and support to the hip flexor and glutes to reduce shock and help increase power by promoting better alignment.

A world leader in intimate apparel, Wacoal also focuses on delivering extra care and support for women, with CW-X tops and bras that not only control motion but also enhance fit and comfort for the freedom to enjoy different levels of activity.

Besides ensuring better muscle alignment and movement, CW-X compression wear feature titanium oxide fiber ultraviolet protection, flat seam construction that eliminates abrasion and enhances fit because of less bulky seams, reflective markings that add visibility for night activities, all while state-of-the art materials keep the body cool and dry.

The company recently launched the CW-X® brand in the US market through the newly formed Wacoal Sports Science Corp.

Based in New York City, Wacoal Sports Science Corp.’s mission is to meet the sports performance needs of US consumer through the CW-X brand, the world’s first truly anatomically engineered high performance sports apparel.

In the Philippines, RUNNR, the country’s first and only world class running concept store, is the exclusive distributor of CW-X gear.

CW-X and other world class running performance gear can be found at RUNNR Bonifacio High Street in Taguig, RUNNR TriNoma Mall on EDSA cor. North Ave., RUNNR Ayala Center Cebu and RUNNR inside Toby’s Sports Arena at Shangri-La Plaza, Edsa and RUNNR Abreeza Mall in Davao. Check out RUNNR’s newest outlet in Alabang Town Center located at The Garden.
