BBrave Swim and Run for Fun at Miriam College QC moved to July 22

In support of Miriam College’s “Girls Be Brave” advocacy, the Maryknoll/Miriam College Alumni Association (MMCAA) presents the “BBrave Swim and Run for Fun” Aquathlon. Previously scheduled on May 6, it will now be happening on Sunday, July 22, 2018, 4:00 a.m., at the Miriam College campus along Katipunan Avenue, Quezon City. 

Organized with race professionals Itemhound, this swim and run event has several categories:

1)         Solo participants (Php1,000) may race the following distances:

                        Ages 7-10                  200 Meter Swim and 500 Meter Run

                        Ages 11 to 14                       400 Meter Swim and 3 Kilometer Run

                        Ages 15 to 17                       600 Meter Swim and 3 Kilometer Run

                        Ages 18 up                600 Meter Swim and 5 Kilometer Run    

2)         The Relay Open (Php900/head) is open for Male/Female/Mixed duos to take on the 400 Meter Swim and 3 Kilometer Run as a tag team.

3)         Family Pair (Php900/head) is open to duos composed of immediate family members (i.e., mother, father, siblings) that will tackle a "demanding" 200 Meter Swim and a "lung-busting" one (1) Kilometer Run.  For this category, the pair must start and end the race together, floaters will be allowed in the swim leg and there are no age groupings - young kids may race with a parent.

Students, professionals and families with young children are welcome to join, as it will be a good venue for beginner athletes to test competition waters or for more serious ones to train in a non-competitive environment, and to just have good, clean F-U-N!

Online registration for the race via www.goorahna.com is open until July 15 only. Race kits, which may only be claimed on site on July 22 beginning 4:00 a.m., will include a swim cap, t-shirt and timing chip. There will be no registration on race day.
