MANILA, Philippines – A deodorant brand will be featuring a multi-city race this year, giving runners a chance to "conquer" Metro Manila and its iconic sceneries.

The Rexona Metro Manila 10 Miler Series is a thrilling test to runners which will have six editions, all in 2025: the Manila Leg, the Pasay Leg, the Muntinlupa Leg, the Parañaque Leg, the Makati Leg, and the culmination event in the Quezon City Leg.

First on the schedule is in Manila on April 6, which will take place at the Quirino Grandstand, and the Pasay race, set for May 4 at the SM Mall of Asia.

These will, most likely, coincide with the warm and dry season, but running event organizer Runrio said it is "prepared for the worst" and measures are in place to help runners combat heat.

State weather bureau PAGASA said the dry season is "possible by mid-March to April."

Next up is the Muntinlupa Leg in Filinvest City on July 6, and not so far is the Parañaque race at the Parqal Aseana City on August 3.

Makati will also feature a race at Ayala Avenue, taking place on September 14, while the conclusion of the six-city running event is in UP Diliman in Quezon City on November 23.

"Let's encourage everyone to do a monthly 16K race while visiting the beautiful places of Metro Manila," said Bea Joson, Unilever Deodorants Category Lead for the Philippines.

An exclusive "Conqueror's Medal" is also up for grabs once a runner finishes all 16K races in all featured cities.

Participants will also receive a special race kit with their singlet and free product from the company.
