The road does not discriminate.

It doesn't matter if you are rich or poor; fast or slow; young or old; heavy or thin. The road will always welcome you. I won't judge you for who you are or where you  have been. All it cares about is where it will take you. All that matters to it is how hard you try to beat yourself today. You are a runner and the road is your friend!

You know you're a runner...

these things take a whole new meaning when you have joined a marathon.
when i was still in public office, these things hold honors and titles to my chest. but now, they hold a much more important thing every time i stand on the starting corral... my race bib! =)

Red Cross Million Volunteer Run

To reawaken the spirit of volunteerism, the Philippine National Red Cross will be holding the "Million Volunteer Run" on December 4, 2011.


















The run will be conducted simultaneously in keys cities through out the country, with the main event to be held at SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City.

My wife, kids and I will be supporting the Red Cross Pangasinan Chapter with the run to be held in CSI City Mall in Dagupan City.

Registration fee for volunteers is 500 PHP with the cost of registration covering a donation to the Philippine Red Cross, race bib, volunteer shirt, PRC I.D., 1-year accidental insurance and an emergency whistle.

I have heard that a special registration category for students and kids are available at only 100 PHP. But the kit only includes the race bib.

You can register with the Philippine Red Cross - Pangasinan Chapter at the PRC Building, old market site of Dagupan City, beside the old chinese cemetery. There will also be on-site registration before the run.

There will only be one distance category for this event, which is 5k. Water station will be available along the route according to the organizers. Gun start is at 5:30 in the morning.

Everyone is encouraged to support this noble cause! Let us all support the Philippine National Red Cross! Bring the whole family as this promises to be a wonderful opportunity to bond with the family and support the Red Cross at the same time!
