TULAD ng inaasahan, nadomina ng Team Kenya ang all-male category ng kauna-unahang ASICS Relay Philippines 2018 kamakailan sa SM By The Bay sa Pasay City.
Nanaig naman ang Ganda R at Team LTIMESSTUDIO 1 sa female at mixed categories ng full marathon event na itinataguyod ng ASICS Philippines, sa pakikipagtulungan ng RunRio.
Bukod sa cash prize, natanggap din ng team winners ang libreng ticket at accommodation sa anumang bansa na mapipili nila na nagsasagawa rin ng ASICS Relay race.
“We really enjoyed the race,” pahayag ni Luisa Raterta, miyembro ng Full Marathon Female category winner team na Ganda R. “We were nervous at first of what is going to come when the race started, but we’re very happy with our experience because it was well organized and it had a good route.”
“It was our first time to run in a relay race, so our strategy was to arrange our turns based on our running strengths, and we think our tactic paid off really well” sambit ni Kevin Capampangan, member ng Full Marathon Mixed category winner na Team LTIMESTUDIO 1.
“We’re very happy with the teamwork that we’ve built with one another,” ayon naman kay Joida Gagnao, ng Team LTIMESTUDIO 1. “It was a good thing for us to establish that kind of camaraderie as it helped us win the race.”
