Run For Home: A Run for Habitat for Humanity

14 July 2009 9 Comments

Mga Ka-Barrio! Public service announcement lang, nakalimutang kong i-post ito last week. Ngayon ang last day of registration.

Running is not just the latest trendy exercise today – it is now a lifestyle. When you run, you don’t only head towards better health and longer life, you’re headed towards a quality of life that you’d wish you had for many years now, and for many years to come. And, with Globe’s Run for Home, the running trend is literally taken to the streets to take people off the streets.

Run for Home will help fund Habitat For Humanity’s on-going construction of houses in “Bayan Ni Juan in Calauan,” a housing relocation site in Brgy. Dayap Calauan, Laguna under the Kapit Bisig Para sa Ilog Pasig Project of ABS-CBN Foundation. Run for Home is scheduled on July 19, 2009, at the Bonifacio Global City, and offers four distances: 3k, 5k, 10k and the half-marathon 21k. Registration is from June 19 to July 14, 2009.

Run for Home is Globe’s and Ayala Land Inc.’s first running event. The brilliance of this being organized/hosted by Globe, is that the registration can be done with Globe’s website, and pretty much drives all the technical aspects of the race. Individualized electronic timing chips will be given to each participant to automatically track their time, from the start of the race till the end. These times can be viewed and followed on http://www.globe.com.ph/runforhome.

Throughout the race course, there will be Pixlink upload and Tattoo blog booths, so that runners can update their blogs and social networking sites with comments on the race and upload pictures taken during the run. After the race, you can check times, race results, and official photos on the Globe website.

As an added bonus, new and existing Globe subscribers can avail of several registration options, with special promos based on their active plans and subscriptions.

Run for Home is made possible in cooperation with Ayala Land and Bonifacio Global City, and supported by major sponsors Philippine Star and Adidas, as well as by 100 Plus, Fitness First, Intercontinental Manila, Photovendo and Timex. Run for Home’s media partners include ABS-CBN, GMA, Barangay LS 97.1, 99.5RT, Wave 89.1, Monster Radio RX 93.1 and Jam 88.3, and the race is organized by Finish Line Inc.

Hanggang ngayong July 14 nalang ang registration, P300 ang registration para sa 3K. Punta nalang kayo sa http://www.globe.com.ph/runforhome para mag rehistro online, pwede din magparehistro sa kahit saang Globe Business Center sa Kamaynilaan. Kita-kits nalang doon kung sasali kayo. Kasali kami ni Mark sa 3K run. Naghahanap nga ako ng 100m kaso wala, hahahaha :P

Susubukan ko din mag broadcast ng live video para sa mga hindi makakapunta –> http://live.jepoy.bengero.com.
