‘Christmas Run’ to support young athletes

Thousands of runners are expected to gather in Cebu City for a "Christmas Run" on December 13 at City di Mare in the South Road Properties, turning the holiday celebration into an opportunity to support young athletes and grassroots sports programs.

KNC Entertainment Production founder and owner Kathyleen Javier said this during a “Dagan Cebu community run on Saturday, November 7, which brought together running groups, clubs and individual runners ahead of the main “Dagan Cebu” race on Nov. 29, which expects more than 6,400 participants.

Javier said nearly 3,000 runners have already claimed slots for the Christmas Run, with organizers targeting up to 3,500 participants.

The race will offer 1K, 6K, 12K and 16K categories, including a 1K event for children accompanied by guardians and exclusive finisher’s shirts for 12K and 16K participants.

The race organizers also plans to support young athletes through the event, following last year’s feeding and gift-giving activities for Ati children in Naga City, Cebu.
