Tempra Run Against Dengue slated at QCMC

MANILA, Philippines - A bigger edition of the Tempra Run Against Dengue will be held  Nov. 17, at 4 a.m., around the Quezon City Memorial Circle.

Organized by Subterranean Ideas and sponsored by Tempra, the advocacy run aims to demonstrate the power of collaborative efforts, using sports as one of the main tools, to provide information campaign about the danger of dengue and conduct activities to fight this epidemic.

Part of net proceeds from the run, which is also backed by the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office, Philippine Sports Commission, Green Cross, Gemilang4U International, Business Mirror, Health and Fitness Magazine and the NCR Athletic Association, will be used for the purchase of various anti-dengue modalities, including garbage bins, to be distributed in selected day-care centers and barangays in the city.

Four categories comprise the fun run – 10K (P450), 4K (P400), 2K (P300) and Family Run (P250 each runner), the event’s newest division featuring a parent (or parents) running for a distance of 1K with his or her kid/s.
