Color Manila Holds Blacklight Run at Clark, Pampanga

Wazzup Pilipinas!

On Saturday, December 2, 2017, Color Manila, one of the most prominent fun run organizers in the country, held another well-attended fun run at Clark Freeport Zone Parade Grounds in Pampanga.

With three race categories of 3k, 5k, 10k, the event venue was filled with runners of all ages – from little kids to teen and adults, and even senior citizens, and joined the CM Blacklight Run, a series of fun runs being held all over the country as far as places outside Metro Manila like Ilocos Sur.

From what I’ve seen, the 10k category probably had the most number of runners as I’ve seen a bigger crowd running from the starting line and then getting wet from the water coming from a firefighter’s hose. I don’t know if that has been the practice as before but it seems they are soaked wet to probably reduce the heat and comfort them, or so that the color powders to be thrown at them later would surely stick on their singlets and bodies.

The event was also graced by beauty queen Zara Carbonell, Miss World Philippines 2nd Princess, who was one of the hosts of the event program. She added a “shining, shimmering, splendid” brightness to the night which was also made more beautiful by the colorful fireworks display that sparked the beginning of the after-event party.

Joining her on stage is co-host Love and the Color Manila mascot CM, who also both danced the night away with their untiring moves. They led the crowd through dance warm-ups before the race with the help of Sutherland and Anytime Fitness dancers, and also through more than an hour of dance energized by the astounding beats of the guest DJs during the after-run party.

The Color Manila Vice President, Justine Cordero, was also there to give her opening and closing statements to further motivate the crowd. 

There is no doubt that Color Manila is among those who leads in providing true FUN when it comes to fun runs. Their colorful and creative race singlets were designed to please. For the CM Blacklight Run, the lamp headlight, added with the color packets that you could throw into the air and colorize you and the people around you, boosts the hype experience. There is nothing more entertaining than having fun while getting dirty with color powder. It’s like working on a painting with your body as the canvas.

I am proud to have the exclusive coverage of the event as I was the only blogger or media present that night. It’s my first time to witness a fun run organized by Color Manila so it gives me great pleasure to be there.
