Press Release:
Take
a step back then move forward for the environment by joining the WWF Reverse
Run!
Originally
slated for July 22 at the SM Mall of Asia, the run organized by the World Wide
Fund for Nature Philippines (WWF-Philippines) was postponed due to Typhoon
Ferdie.
“We
apologize for any inconvenience the postponement may have caused. Your safety
is our top priority. The weather conditions compelled us to reschedule the fun
run to another date and venue,” said Mayj Tolentino, WWF-Philippines’
Individual Donor Program Manager.
WWF-Philippines
is pleased to announce that the Reverse Run will take place at 5:00 AM on 9 September 2012 at the Venice Piazza Grounds, McKinley
Hill, Taguig City! Race distances
are 3K, 6K and 12K.
WWF's
Reverse Run is unique because runners will backpedal through the course for a
few meters before running their respective race distances. Running in reverse
symbolizes each runner’s commitment to reverse the accelerating degradation of
our environment.
Registration
fees are PHP 500 (3K and 6K) and PHP 600 (12K).
All
proceeds shall sustain WWF's ‘Reverse the Bad’ student membership program.
Participants
can sign up at the following registration sites: Chris Sports (Glorietta 3, SM
Mall of Asia, SM Manila and Fitness and Athletics at the Bonifacio Global City)
and Skechers (Festival Mall, Market Market and TriNoMa).
They
can also register online at:
