Last Saturday, I visited McKinley Hill twice. The first was at 6 a.m. as part of our 15k run with hubby around the area. Second was later in the afternoon for the opening of The Brick Multi-Sport Store.

– Part-owner top Philippine triathlete Noy Jopson welcomes guests –

– Running priest Fr. Robert Reyes blessed the store (and Noy too). I regret being too shy to ask for a photo with Fr. Robert…ack. –

– Fred Uytengsu of Alaska and Ironman Camsur and Harry Tan of Cobra cut the ribbon –

The Brick has a wide array of shoes and apparel, a treadmill for shoe testing, bikes, watches, bags, gels and many many more.

The Brick Multi-Sport store is now open at Unit 1, Woodridge Apartments, McKinley Hill, Taguig City (across Venice Piazza, just at the bottom of that deadly hill we all dread at races!)

Open Mon to Sat, 7 am to 9 pm

It’s great to know that running is booming not just in Manila, but also in the provinces.

I was a witness to the active running community in Cebu and I was fortunate enough to participate in my all-time favorite race, Cebu Marathon 2010, and the Great Lapu Lapu Run.  In Cebu, I met a group of runners from Bacolod.  I was also told that running is growing in Iloilo.

In Davao, a new running specialty store, RunClub, will open tomorrow to cater to the growing community of Dabawenyo runners. Former PSC Chair (presently, PTF Chair) William “Butch” Ramirez, and Nike Philippine’s Country Commercial Director Ms. Loulette Quinio will be there to inaugurate the new store.

RunClub will have Nike, Adidas, Mizuno, Asics and New Balance footwear and apparel.  For accessories, Nike watch and eyewear, Rudy project, Fuel belts and Optic Nerve will be available.  While for nutrition products, they’ll have Gu and Power Foods.

It would be great to visit Davao in August when they celebrate Kadayawan Festival.  Every single weekend of August will have a running event! (thanks to Ester for sending):

Tomorrow, I’ll talk about running in Cagayan de Oro!  Stay tuned…
