RUNNERS eager to test their limits and embrace the spirit of personal achievement when the ASICS Meta: Time Trials makes its Philippine debut on Oct. 19, at the Vermosa Sports Complex in Imus, Cavite.
Aimed to inspire aspiring runners of all levels to push boundaries and chase personal records, the 10km road race is more than just a competition – it’s a global celebration of individual progress.
Launched in Malaga, Spain in 2022, the Meta: Time Trials has since gained a reputation for its fast courses, athlete-centric approach, and inclusive, performance-driven atmosphere. After successful editions in Thailand and Malaysia, the event now lands in the Philippines, where endurance sports such as the Ironman series continue to thrive and inspire.
“Now that it’s here in the Philippines, its success underscores the event’s potential within our local running talent and were excited to see more personal best set here right in our home ground,” said Sonak Brand Communication Executive Diego De Dios in the Philippine Sportswriters Association Forum yesterday at the conference hall of the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex.
Organized by Sunrise Events, Inc., the Philippine leg promises to deliver a world-class racing experience that underscores perseverance, personal success and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
With the support of Sonak Trading, the official distributor of ASICS in the Philippines, organizers expect a robust turnout of 3,500 participants, ranging from elite athletes and seasoned runners to enthusiastic beginners and up-and-coming talents.
The race is open to men and women 16 years old and above.
Designed with personal bests in mind, the Meta: Time Trials provides a unique and supportive setting that encourages runners to break through barriers, both mental and physical. Every detail of the race – from the flat, fast route to the premium race-day amenities – is crafted to help participants perform at their peak.
In the lead-up to the event, ASICS Running Clubs will offer structured training programs, expert guidance and motivational support. These community-based initiatives aim to foster camaraderie, commitment, and shared passion among runners, turning preparation into a journey as fulfilling as race day itself.
