ONCE again, women’s power takes center stage when Women’s Run PH celebrates International Women’s Month with a fun run on March 9 at the Mall of Asia grounds.
Fully backed by the Filipina CEO Circle (FCC), the event is open to everyone, including kids in a 1K race, and those vying in the 5K, 10K and 16K. There will be 10K Buddy and 16K Buddy races as well.
Women’s Run PH founder Nicole dela Cruz, who graced yesterday’s Philippine Sportswriters Association Forum, that from last year’s target of 5,000 participants, they have upped the number to 8,000.
“We thought that was very ambitious (5,000 runners), but this year mas ambitious pa kami lalo. And I’m happy to say that we’re already sold out,” she told the Forum backed by San Miguel Corporation., Philippine Sports Commission, Philippine Olympic Committee, MILO, Smart/PLDT and the country’s 24/7 sports app ArenaPlus.
Dela Cruz said the event aims to create an opportunity for women to be motivated, inspired and empowered through running.
“It’s all about women empowerment. And ang event natin is going to be fun and festive,” she said.
