Amway to host fun run

CEBU, Philippines - The organizers of the 1st Amway Fun Run 2013 challenges the Cebu running community to break the Manila leg’s total number of participants during the event’s final leg set on February 16 at Parkmall in Mandaue City.

The Manila edition drew 1,500 entries and the organizers are confident Cebu can break it due to the running boom here.

The charity event is for the benefit of Carreta Elementary School as part of Amway's global campaign named 'One by One Campaign for Children' wherein they adopt a school and give out books for the kids.

“Actually, matagal na naming beneficiary ang Carreta dito sa Cebu. Sila yung inendorse ng DepEd sa amin dun sa Adopt-A-School program nila. Ngayon nga lang kami nagkaroon ng fun run kasi part siya ng anniversary ng One-on-One, kaya nga symbolic din yun 1K at Amway Run,” said Amway Philippines marketing manager Dulce Ricafort in a press confence yesterday at Bo’s Café in Parkmall.

Though the registration fee is pegged at P595, the participants will get their money's worth as it includes as  race pack and Nutrilite daily foil pack, free sign up for the company’s membership for the 5K finishers plus a raffle coupon with an Ipod touch and Amway products at stake. (FREEMAN)
