Maasin City Zoo marathon set

In connection with the 12th Charter Day and annual fiesta of Maasin City, Southern Leyte, the Maasin Zoo Trail Run will be held on August 12. It will start and end at the newly opened Maasin City Zoo in Danao, Malapoc Norte.

The main competition will cover 10 kilometers consisting of earth road, a little portion of concrete road and a rolling mountain trail.

The prizes at stake for the 10 Kilometer Trail Run are as follows: 1st – P7,000, 2nd – P5,000, 3rd – P3,000, 4th–10th – P2,000 each for both male and female categories. Medals will also be awarded to all the finishers.

Gun start for 10K is at 5:30 am.

A lot of fun awaits the participants as they can see the animals in the city zoo such as tigers, lions, camels, miniature horses, crocodiles, tarsiers, snakes, monkeys, peasants, and birds. A relaxing ambiance of a forest with cool soothing air and scenic mountain view overlooking the sea will be an added appeal for the runners.

There is also a fun run category of 3 kilometers and 500-meter kiddie run within the zoo and forest park premises. The top three winners of these categories will receive only medals. The 3K will start at 6 a.m. while the 500m will be at 7:30 am.
