Marathon enthusiast local and abroad will converge once again at the 11th TCS Clark Animo International Marathon at Clark Global City on March 8, 2020. This year’s competition will have exciting new features that will complement the internationally certified courses and special activities.

The organizer, De La Salle Alumni Association PamPanga Chapter (DLSAA-P) is anticipating to surpass the previous record of more than 10,000 runners. Just a bit of trivia, Pampanga doesn’t have any De La Salle school but they have the most active Alumni Association and they want to bring the marathon to other local key areas.

“Because we aim to give the best race experience to the participants, all races are -IAAF-AIMS Certified Courses,” said Jumbo Tayag, race director. “This guarantees that participants run the correct distance, with a valid recorded time recognized internationally for qualifying and rankings purposes.”

Tayag likewise asserts that ” Animo Run participants who aim to join international races such as the Boston marathon will definitely have an advantage.”

Animo Run started in 2009 as a fun run in Clark Field with over 600 participants, with the number increased up to its current record of 10,000. The De La Salle Alumni Association PamPanga Chapter (DLSAA-P) aims to raise funds to support its various community projects on environment and education.
