Press Release: Rescue Run III

THE FILIPINO running community will again join forces to hold “Rescue Run III”, a fun run to raise funds for the victims of the recent earthquake and typhoon that hit the Visayas.  The noble event is set for November 16, 2013 (Saturday) starting at 5:00 AM at the corner of 9th and 34th Streets in the Bonifacio Global City.

For a minimum donation of PHP 150.00, one will receive a race bib to join either the 10 or five-kilometer category.  Donations of PHP 500.00 or more will qualify the donor to join the special raffle.

Registration opens on November 13 (Wednesday) at A Runner’s Circle at the corner of Roxas Boulevard and Quirino Avenue and Second Wind Branches located in Teachers Village, Ortigas Home Depot and Greenhills Shopping Complex.  On-site registration will also be available on race day.

Participants are encouraged to bring their own hydration bottles and belts as the use of cups will be put to a minimum.  However, refilling stations will be available at strategic locations.

Relief goods are also very welcome.  A collection booth will be set up at the venue to receive donations in kind.

Lead organizer Greentennial Run led by Engr. Rovic G. Canono has allotted six days to conceptualize and stage the fun run.  This is a new record of sorts for the team.

In December of 2011, the first ever “Rescue Run” for victims of Typhoon Sendong had 12 days of preparations.  A year later, “Rescue Run II” for victims of Typhoon Pablo was organized in nine days.

Aside from helping local calamities, Greentennial also held the “Run For Japan” in April of 2011 which raised PHP 500,000.00 for tsunami victims.  Like all its other previous projects, expect a lot of surprises and fun side events in every Greentennial-powered fun run.

With many fun runs for a cause sprouting left and right, this is one that is truly worth supporting.  The clock is ticking on the victims so action must be done quickly – the indestructible bayanihan spirit of the Filipino people will make everyone a winner!
