MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur, Jan 29 (PIA) -- It’s all systems go for the conduct of the PhilHealth Run 2013 here in the city.
According to Dr. Sainuddin Moti, chairman of the PhilHealth Run 2013 here, the run will kick off on February 17 at Lanao People’s Park in Amai Pakpak Avenue.
The event, dubbed as “PhilHealth Run 2013: Nationwide Run for Mother and Child Protection,” will be held simultaneously in more than 18 sites nationwide to mark PhilHealth’s 18th year anniversary.
This run aims to raise funds for the Philippine Children’s Medical Center (PCMC), a national referral hospital that admits patients with illnesses requiring subspecialty care such as childhood cancer.
Moti said proceeds of the run will also be given to a local beneficiary and will support other programs and activities on mother and child protection.
He revealed that they are eyeing the Philippine National Red Cross-Lanao del Sur/Marawi City Chapter to be the local beneficiary of this year's Philhealth run.
Those interested to join can register at PhilHealth Regional Office ARMM located at Noramis Building, O.M. Dianalan Blvd., this city.
The run will have five categories: three-kilometer (3K), five-kilometer (5K), 10-kilometer (10K), 18-kilometer (18K), and 3K kiddie run.
Registration fees range from P250 for the Kiddie and 3K run, P300 for the 5K, P350 for the 10K, up to P450 for the 18K.
These fees are inclusive of the official singlet, race bib, timing chip, finisher’s certificate, and a raffle coupon, as well as finisher’s medal for the 18K.
