It is all systems go for the premier marathon event in the country, the Condura Skyway Marathon, Run for the Mangroves 2013.   The starting line in Filinvest City Alabang heats up with 14,000 runners on Sunday,  February 3, 2013. It will be the curtain-raiser for the new running year of 2013 – perfect timing for those who are serious in getting back to form after the long series of holidays and merry-making and for those who finally would like to get off that couch and find the fun and fulfilment in running.

 

Organized by Condura Skyway Marathon’s Founder and Chief Organizing Officer, Ton Concepcion and its running ambassador Patrick Concepcion,  the sixth edition of this much-anticipated yearly race event by runners for runners once again is out to prove that it is worthy of its bid to be the premier running event in Asia Pacific.

This year, the race will have the usual 10k, 21k and full 42k marathon categories plus the new 3.8k, 6k which are especially meant for the fun and adventurous runners who are not yet ready to take on the mid to long distance-races.

 

By the first hour of February 3, 2013, the Condura Skyway Marathon will again make the Skyway as the runners’ playground.  Originating from the Filinvest City in Alabang, runners of all distances will be taken to the Skyway as a major part of their race route – a major attraction that promises runners of an exclusive, traffic-free, clean and well-lit race environment.

 

Apart from the challenge and fun that this race has in-store for runners, participating in this race will also mean taking part in the Condura Skyway Marathon advocacy of helping with the reforestation of the Mangroves in Zamboanga de Sibugay in partnership with Philippine Tropical Forest Conservation Foundation (PTFCF) . Each runner through their registration, will get to donate three mangrove seedlings which will be planted in his/her name. In 2012, the first year that Condura Skyway Marathon adopted the

mangroves reforestation project to its cause, a total of 39,000 seedlings have already been planted in Kabasalan Town through runners’ donation. With 14,000 participants this year,  this translates to another 42,000 trees that will make a huge difference in the livelihood of more communities in Zamboanga.

Condura Skyway Marathon is truly a run with a big heart!

Runners will now have the opportunity to raise pledges for the charities it is supporting. For 2013, the premier running event is proud to support Bikes for Philippines, Hero Foundation, I Can Serve and Liter of Light. Runners can raise pledges of P50 pesos per kilometer and a time bonus of P500 pesos if they hit their time goal. “Our aim is to encourage runners to embrace more causes to better the lives of those in need.  This is our own little way of helping these foundations raise funds so they can continue on with their respective programs and activities. We want to help in making the country a better place – one step at a time,”  says Ton Concepcion.

Water filtration never looked this good!

 For today’s upwardly-mobile individuals, looking good and feeling good means being on top of the latest wellness trends, especially when it comes to exercise and diet. Among the most sought after health innovations are life-enhancers that take care of every aspect of their well-being, all without sacrificing personal style and looks.

Taking top priority in achieving a healthy lifestyle is staying hydrated, which is one of the easiest yet overlooked ways to keeping fit and healthy. As you live actively, drinking clean water daily helps flush out harmful toxins and help protect the body from illnesses. It also maintains the body’s pH balance, improves metabolism, and keeps essential organs such as the heart, liver, and skin healthy.

Taking better care of your body is now simpler and more elegant with bobble, the latest wellness innovation that makes a bold fashion statement out of drinking water while on the move. Combining elegance with health-giving benefits, bobble is a chic, reusable drinking bottle, designed by renowned industrial artist Karim Rashid—the man behind numerous luxury goods and popular product designs for Christofle, Alessi, Umbra, Bonaldo, Vondom, and Hugo Boss, among others. bobble™’s iconic shape and curvy form make it easier to carry around during workout sessions or while out socializing.

Not only is its multi-awarded design praised for ultra-sleek form factor, bobbleis also lauded for its eco-friendly features. Its unique, replaceable and recyclable carbon filter purifies potable water even further by eliminating chlorine and organic contaminants for a fresher and crisper clean drinking water. Through the ingenuity of its design, the 1: 300 ratio—one bobble is equivalent to 300 single-used plastic bottles—consumers can be more active in protecting the environment. Helping stylish users protect the environment by reducing the use of PET bottles, bobble champions a greener lifestyle, making it a trusted and truly revolutionary brand.

On your way to becoming a better version of yourself—one who reflects a modern lifestyle—keep in mind that feeling good starts from within. So whether you want to embody the accomplished entrepreneur, the adrenaline junkie, or the present-day hero persona, upgrade your way of living and imbibe the stylish bobble outlook of water made better.

Since bobble was introduced in February 2010, it has been an outstanding success and has been very well-received by consumers and global retailers. bobble is another leading innovation introduced to the Philippines by TERRY S.A. INC. (TSA)—the same company that brought in lifestyle giants: Havaianas, Aura Athletica, David & Goliath, Dupé and Pininho—

Anne Arcenas- Gonzales – one of the owners of Terry S.A.

About Us

rekha-lally.jpg

 

We are two female technology and media/entertainment executives who strongly believe that women will be more successful at work if they learn to talk sports with men.

 

As we rose through our respective ladders in mostly male-dominated environments, we have been shut out from conversations in the boardroom, the bar and at the water cooler due to our lack of sports knowledge.

 

We are strong supporters of female advancement.  We are mentors, role models and advocates.

 

Our mission is to empower women by giving them just enough information needed to demystify the world of men. Life is not fair.  Play the game and change it!

 

Join us in our journey as we navigate the world of professional sports…

 

 

The Gal’s Got Game is an online daily newsletter. It is an online resource for women who want to talk sports but don’t have time to read the sports section or watch games. Information is delivered in small doses with a smart, fun tone. It’s “just enough sports” to give you the context of the top sports stories, events and personalities to keep your conversation going.
