Earth Run goes nationwide

MANILA, Philippines - In its third year, Solar Entertainment Network’s fun run dubbed Earth Run goes nationwide with three legs to be held in Metro Manila, Davao and Cebu. After last year’s successful event where over 8,000 runners took to the street to show their support for the environment, Earth Run looks to be even bigger and better. Divided between the networks three banner channels, etc, 2nd Avenue and Jack TV, runners and nature lovers from around the country can come together and run for a good cause.

For the third consecutive year, Earth Run has chosen Greenpeace as its beneficiary. Greenpeace is an international environmental organization that acts to change attitudes and behavior, to protect and conserve the environment and to promote peace. In the country, the organization and its supporters are focused on promoting renewable energy and energy efficiency, a nuclear-free Pilipinas and keeping waterways clean.

Kicking off in Metro Manila,  2nd Avenue: Earth Run 2011 will be held at the Bonifacio Global City Grounds on Aug. 28. Runners can choose from four different distances: 3k, 5k, 10k and 21k. All races have a registration fee of P600 except the 21k which is P650. Upon registration, participants will receive race kits that will include a timing chip, official race shirt, race bib belt and race details.

Those interested to join the Manila leg can register until Aug. 21 at R.O.X. at Bonifacio High Street and Chris Sports branches located at Glorietta 3, SM City North The Annex and SM Megamall.
