EDSA Run


EDSA RUN-Online Registration is now open!!!

You run in Roxas Blvd., in MOA, in BGC, in UP, in Skyway, how about in EDSA?

Well, this is it runners!!!! February 27, 2011 is EDSA Run.

I am a member of "I am Ninoy Runners" since it started two years ago. I believe in the cause of the group, to help the less fortunate.

In 2009, the group tied up with 57-75 Movement, a private sector led initiative to reverse the public education crisis in the Philippines. The Iamninoy runners are hoping to raise funds to help children to stay in school, enhance literacy and to improve test performances.

The first official iamninoy run was held on August, 2009

This year, the Iamninoy became, Iamninoy-Iamcory Runners.

On February 27, the EDSA Run is one of the activities of the Ninoy & Cory Aquino Foundation, together with the iamninoy-iamcory runners group in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the People Power Revolution. The proceeds of the run will help the Department of Education raise funds to build classrooms nationwide. On this day, as you take part of the run, the lives of many school children will be changed simply because you signed up and decided to be heroes; because runners ca make a difference.
