Heritage Fun Run: Run to Help Philippine Tourism
This is one run you should not miss! Finally, a fun run for FREE! Woot! Woot!
Not your ordinary Sunday race as this doesn’t give you a singlet or a medal or a shirt after the run. No loot bags and no timing chip. Just a fun, fun, fun run (you can bike too) along some of the historical sites in Manila.
Note for all: Please Read this from Carlos Celdran. He was the one who started this. Then, while we (#helpDOT tweeps) are having a brainstorming meeting last Friday at Department of Tourism with U.Sec Enteng Romano, I suggested that we can also have runners during that bike tour. So this fun run was born.
Don’t expect too much. This is just an advocacy run to help Department of Tourism (#helpDOT)- that’s all. I encourage runners who are interested to learn something from our own history while running (healthy na, historical pa).
What will I gain here? Nothing. Just a genuine support to our DOT. Meet runners and tour Manila for free. I believe SMART Philippines will cover this event too!
Any help I can do? Join us! Promote! Promote! Blog about this! Tweet! Facebook this! Make a shout out! O btw, we need photographers so we can make this thing viral.
Date: September 5, 2010 (Sunday), 6:00am (be there at 5:45am)
Meeting Place: Manila Film Center (its near PICC, CCP and Sofitel)
Distance: 6 kilometers more or less (for those who are having an LSD we can retrace the route 2-3 times)
Route: Starting at the Manila Film Center then around Malate, Ermita, Intramuros, & Binondo and back again.
Hydration: Please bring your own.
So, are you in? No need to pay anything (meaning its FREE), just leave a comment below (so we know how many to expect that day). And pray it doesn’t rain that morning.
Will keep you updated thru this blog. For now, be a Fan of HelpDOT on Facebook.
Shout out goes to @carlosceldran, @TeamManila, Fung Yu, SMART Philippines, YEHEY and many more for creative ideas to help Philippine Tourism!
See you there runners (I think I will wear the blue Takbo.ph personalized singlet)! And together let’s discover anew the streets of the Old Manila. This will be a blast!
One thing more, we will be needing volunteer pacers and more photographers while we run. Please leave a comment below or email me at <yarp83@gmail.com> if you plan to help out. Thanks a lot for spreading the word. See you there!

Final instructions po:
Tuloy po ito, rain or shine (wag nman sana umulan).
Time: 6:00am (be there at 5:45am or earlier)
Meeting Place: Manila Film Center (its near PICC, CCP and Sofitel)
Wear something blue (signifies hope, confidence, intelligence, stability, unity),sakto for the situation ng DOT and Pinas ngayon. kung walang blue, ok lang naman. Basta kita kits tomorrow! Let’s say hi and hello, shake hands, beso.
Distance: 6 or more (for those who want LSD, we can run more…i’ll join you nalang)
Hydration: Please bring your own. Kung wala, okay lang naman, buy na lang ng buko juice along the way.
“We will try to outline a potential bike/pedestrian tourism corridor between these areas. We would love to see a clean, green, and beautified beltway that links the CCP complex all the way to Chinatown. It would be very beneficial to tourists if we can find a way to link together all our historical spots through proper landscaping, public art, pedestrian paths and bike lanes.” -carlos celdran
“We will have 10 escorts (for bikers and runners) And will brief everyone before we begin.”
We now have at least 50 runners. dami din for a group run. kaya we need pacers po, volunteer nlang.
Route:
Start at Manila Film Center 6:00am
CCP Complex
Roxas Boulevard
Intramuros
Escolta
Plaza Lawton
Luneta Monument
Back to Film Center
It’s going to be a great way to re-orient ourselves with Manila’s historical spots!
If you have some questions, just call/text me at 0926-74cinco08cinco8
salamat sa pagtulong sa DOT at sa bayan
