Second Wind, the Philippines’ first running specialty store for runners, by runners, will be opening it’s third branch at the G-Strip in Greenhills this coming Sunday, April 8, 2012! Congratulations Second Wind!

Second Wind has been a running partner of SWIMBIKERUN.ph ever since we launched the site a year ago. To show our support for our favorite running store, we’re giving away a couple of goodies from SLS3 Compression Gear and the SBR.ph Shop for their opening!

Also, from April 7 to Monday (4/9/12), all visitors of Second Wind Greenhills can avail and purchase SLS3 Compression Gear at 10% off!

The Second Wind crew will once again run from its original branch to its newest branch as part of its opening tradition. A perfect way to start your Sunday if you ask me. The best part is, it’s free! We’re going there to cover the event and join to run as well!

Do note though that the run is a K-K-T event. Kanya-kanyang-takbo so make sure you bring your own hydration, money, etc etc.

Here’s the message from the big cheese of Second Wind, Hector Yuzon

Magandang araw!

On April 8, 2012 (Sunday) I will be running (with some friends) from Secondwind QC (aka B1) to Secondwind Ortigas Home Depot (aka B2) and finally to Secondwind Greenhills (aka B3).

We will be taking off from B1 6am sharp. From B1 to B2 it’s a little over 10k and from B2 to B3 total mileage will be 13k. this is the exact same way how we celebrated the opening of B2 before, and we would just like to keep the tradition alive.

There are no marshals, no race numbers, no freebies, and no medals. Just good old fashion group run on a Sunday morning. There will be some pandesal, palaman, kape, at palamig when we get to B3 J

If you want to join the group run, here are the details:

6 – 6’30 pace

Make sure you have your own hydration

Make sure you have money

Personal or your own bike or car support is ok

Make sure you have visor or jacket (depending on weather conditions)

Make sure you have gels and sports drinks

You are welcome to do the whole run or a portion of it

All runners should reach B3 by 7:30am (for safety reasons, by this time the volume of cars in ortigas is already heavy)

Again, no marshals or support from Secondwind, this is not a organized fun run or race. this is a no-frills group run J pls be independent.
