Runners for Water
April 2017
Around 14,000 runners joined this year’s National Geographic Earth Day Run last April 23 at the Mall of Asia, Pasay City. The run featured 5K, 10K, 21K and 42K categories, aiming to raise awareness for the environment while holding one of the most anticipated runs in the country. National Geographic has again chosen the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Philippines as its Earth Day Run beneficiary. This year, they have chosen to support our Forests for Water Program. It works on the Ipo Watershed that is a vital link in the Angat-Umiray-Ipo watershed which supplies a whopping 98% of Metro Manila’s water needs. Thank you for running for Earth!
