THE PHILIPPINE Coast Guard Auxiliary (PCGA) 802nd Squadron expects to gather 600-700 runners as it launched the Community Fun Run on Apr 19 to be held at Freedom Park along Roxas Avenue to support the cleaners of coastal areas.
Malou Pelletier, marketing consultant of the Philippine Coast Guard Community Run, said the event is a fun run for a cause to provide gear and life jackets to the Coastal Community Auxiliary Division (CCAD).
“So, if everybody joins in, it means that you’re helping to protect our shores,” Pelletier said during the PEP Talks on Feb 13.
“They [participants] will not only be joining a fun run, but rather they’re joining a cause. The cause is for them to be able to help fund our CCAD”, she added.
Pelletier shared that there are more or less 500 registrants for now. Registrations are available via a QR code provided on the (PCGA) 802nd Squadron official Facebook page.
Open to ages five to 65 years old, race categories and fees include 3KM (for the families) at P800, 5KM for P900, and 10KM for P1,100, with each route going to Bajada, Aeon Towers, and Toyota Lanang.
