Make your run more meaningful by raising awareness and funds to support a worthwhile cause! Join the Cebu Run for the Rivers (CRR) on its second leg dubbed “Rivers Alive! Atong Sapa, Atong Ugma!”set for June 22, 2014 at the SM City Cebu Northwing Parking Area.
This marathon will highlight the reforestation and rehabilitation of the riparian zones particularly the Mahiga Creek and Guadalupe River in the hope of arresting soil degradation and improving green cover.
Runners and non-runners are encouraged to join the fun run to extend help for “Sagip Ilog”, a government call to improve the water quality of priority river systems in the community; particularly the five river systems in Cebu – Bulacao, Buhisan, Guadalupe, Mahiga and Lahug.
Aside from helping a cause, participants also get a chance to see Cebu’s best talents that include TV and movie actor Paul Jake Castillo along with the Wonggoys Band and Elvisaya: Elvis of the Visayas who have a special participation during the marathon.
