Rescue Run
THE RESCUE RUN
October 10, 2009
Assembly and donation turn-over starts at 5:30 a.m.
Official run start is at 6:30 a.m.
It isn’t a race. There are no race timing chips, no souvenir t-shirts, no swag bags, no finishers medals, no prize money.
THE RESCUE RUN is open to all athletes, their families and friends. Anyone who is willing to help the typhoon victims while getting a few minutes of exercise.
It is not a race so there will be no water or aid stations. PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN WATER, SPORTS DRINKS AND/OR RECOVERY FOOD.
We thought about getting sponsors for water stations but there are thousands of people who need drinking water more than us. We’re sure you understand.
We are hoping for a thousand runners to show up on October 10th. If we meet that target, that’s P200,000 right there! It’s a modest sum but it’ll feed up to 2,000 people or help repair the homes of many. That beats any personal best any day!
A big thank you to all the running friends, squads, tri teams, companies and individuals who have gotten in touch with us to ask about the race and how they could help out.
How do I join?
Registration:
Pre-registration will be care of partner establishments to be announced this Tuesday, Oct. 6. They are
The SecondWind Running Store (Maginhawa St., UP Village)
Recreational Outdoor eXchange (ROX, Bonifacio High Street)
All Terra Bike Shop (Club 650, Libis)
There will also be on-site registration.
We will be asking for a minimum donation of P200 for the RESCUE RUNNER race bib, but everyone can still participate or volunteer. There is no cost to volunteer 
In order to keep track of the donations and participants, we will be issuing RESCUE RUN bibs that serve as a receipt of your donation and also as a small token for your efforts. Please wear the bib on the event day as well. It is our way of keeping track of all the runners on the course during the event.
There are plans to make this more than just a one-day effort so please stick around after the run for announcements. We would like to enlist everyone’s support in this in order to gather even more aid from runners or athletes who can’t make it on October 10 but still wish to contribute. We’ve received positive responses from other companies who are willing to help so we’re just working out the details.
