Each participant will be given an Earth Run 2023 Shirt, Race Bib and E-Certificate while the Top 3 finishers will receive top finisher medals, top finisher shirts and winner certificates.
There will be a program with a dance performance from Indayaw Dance Company and while the fun run is going on, there will be games on the sides with prizes.
There will also be a ‘peace wall’ where runners could post their race bibs with a peace message after their run.
By supporting this global initiative, we not only encourage physical activity but also emphasize our interconnectedness as global citizens. Our involvement underscores our commitment to a healthier world and a sustainable future, with peace at its core.
Other countries like Japan, Malaysia, United Kingdom, France, US, Australia, among others, have also participated in the Earth Run.
Proceeds of event will fund various initiatives led by WAO such as blood donation, tree planting, clean-up drive, donation for victims of disaster, adopt-a-school program, recycling efforts and climate change awareness promotion.
WAO is a global organization of 90,000 youth, an initiative of Shincheonji (New Heaven New Earth) Church of Jesus The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, headquartered in South Korea.
WAO Youth Volunteers worldwide also achieved a Guinness World Record as the most people to sign up as blood donors online in 24 hours with 71,121 participants.
