And so to make the 42k runners feel their effort’s worth at the first ever Run United Philippine Marathon, here are some of the thing the organizers have in store for you!

 

1. Exclusive Red Carpet Finish

A few meters before the finish line, a red carpet is rolled out for all the 42km finishers! You guys deserve it!
