NIKE CELEBRATES THE SPIRIT OF FILIPINOS WITH WE RUN MNL 2013

Running has been a favorite for Filipinos who want to lose some weight, be fit, show off their new kicks or simply curious about it. From fun runs, to charity runs, to Zombie Runs, it's been part of making our lifestyle more healthy and at the same time be sociable. Not only it promotes the awareness and importance of having a fit lifestyle but also it's time where we breakaway from the stress of technology and sweat those work-related stress.

The theme for the We Run Manila 2013, "You Move. I Move", is the third edition of Nike We Run MNL to again inspire, motivate and connect runners from across the globe.
