First Halloween Night Run in Iloilo City

Runners of the 1st Iloilo Halloween Night Run

More than 1,000 runners joined the fund raising run, which is being spearheaded by the Quota International of Iloilo and Iloilo Professional Sports Organizer (Prosports) Team supported by SM City and the City Government of Iloilo, on the evening of October 30 for the first Halloween Night Run. The Fun Run was originally planned to showcase runners in gnomes, skeletons, witches and other scary costumes, but in turned out in a different way.

The Fun Run started at SM City going to the Treñas Blvd. (until Tabucan point for the 5K), passing through Aquino Avenue, and passing the same areas to finish line. Children seven to 13 years old took a 3K run while 14 years and above competed for the 5K run.

The fun run proceeds will benefit the hearing impaired children at the Leganes Resource Center for the Deaf. The center needs at least P200,000 for transportation allowance of students, teacher and repair and maintenance of the school.

Part of the proceeds will also go for a holiday gift giving and program for the senior citizens of Asilo de Molo Home for the Aged in December 2011.
