Hunat Sugbu opens registration

One of the sought after annual running events in Cebu, the Hunat Sugbu Run, just keeps getting better every year. The run has recently opened its registration to running enthusiasts.


Now on its seventh edition, Hunat Sugbu: Dagan Para ni Maning is slated on June 25 at the Terraces, Ayala Center Cebu.


Cebu Parklane International Hotel, the organizer of this event, has added a feat to this event, long distance runners for 21K and 12K will have the timing chip.


“The runners can now check their time directly online. It’s a welcome change for the event and a thing that we will do annually now,” shares Cenelyn Manguilimotan Cebu Parklane International Hotel general manager.

Nic Nacorda, the chairman of the fun run, said that the use of timing chip is to address the runners’ need to see the results.

The running event, a tribute to the hotel’s past president, the late Manuel Ting, has come a long way since it started. With a record number of 2,200 participants last year, the organizers are aiming to draw 2,500 runners for this edition.

Aside from the 21K and 12K, the run will feature the men’s and women’s 6K and 3K. Slots will be limited only to 700 for the 21K and 500 for the 12K.


The registration is now open at the Cebu Parklane Hotel lobby.* Registration fee is at P800 for the 21K, P700 for the 12K, P500 for the 6K and P400 for the 3K inclusive of singlet, race bib, buffet meal and medal for the 21K and 12K finishers. *


A total of P72,000 cash prizes is at stake for the winners in different categories. The champion in the men’s and women’s 21K will each get P6,000, P4,000 for second placers, P3,000 for third placers, P2,000 for fourth placers and P1,000 for fifth placers.

For the 12K, the champions will win P4,000, P3,000 for second, P2,000 for third, P1,000 four fourth and P500 for fifth.*

In the 6k race, champions will get P3,000 while the second and third placers will receive P2,000 and P1,000.

A cash prize of P2,000 will be given to the 3k champions while the second and third placers will pocket P1,000 and P500.*

The proceeds of the event will be used for the medical mission with Jesu Christi. A portion of the proceeds will also be donated to Cebu UltraRunners Club president Tony Galon for his environmental advocacy.
