Wazzup Pilipinas!
What's new with RunRio Trilogy series?
Well, joining Coach Rio Dela Cruz and Andrew Neri is GMA-7 Kapuso talent Dingdong Dantes of the DongYan popularity. His better half, my favorite and crush ever since she started her acting career Marian Rivera, is not there but since they are husband and wife, what's his' is hers and I'm sure she will totally support him with this latest endeavor. Dingdong is also the founder of the Yes Foundation which also forms a partnership with RunRio.
Though Dingdong admits he is not a runner, and he may or may not join the any or all of the three runs since his schedule as a celebrity may not allow it, and we also have top be extra careful in running since there has been deaths reported probably due to excessive physical exertion.
Honestly, you are not advised to run, especially the longer routes, if you have no sleep or have been very physically drained from other activities. Life of a celebrity would most of the time require actors to be on the set for several hours and even more than 24 hours a day due to shooting demands limited by the availability of the actors.
With the presence of Dingdong, I'm sure it will be extra star-studded as he would surely invite his colleagues from showbiz to join the runs. Coach Rio already has a huge fanbase especially runners who idolize him since his roots are very inspiring as he aims to motivate runners in the proper way to achieve their athletic and fitness goals.
Coach Rio recalls his life moving forward throughout the years as he keeps his dream to help others, especially the youth, to run in a marathon. His life story would make all hopefuls totally inclined to follow his path.
At an interview, he relates his story. Please do watch it at our social media channels in Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and other channels.
What's new is that they've partnered with the Adidas brand thus their race shirts are from Adidas. However, the finisher shirts will be from RunRio merchandise.

This will be followed by the second leg on August 13, where it will showcase Rio’s very own Afroman distance which is a 32Km run, with shorter distances - 21Km, 10Km and 5Km. The 32Km is considered by runners as the ideal race for first-timers who aim to finish their very first full marathon.
