A three-kilometer category for dogs and their owners will be the latest innovation of the 6th Anniversary Holiday Gym & Spa Run for Healthy Living, which will hit the road on August 1 in an out-and-back course at the HGS along F. Torres St.
HGS chief operations officer Ivy Fernandez, speaking at the regular Davao Sportswriters Association (DSA) Forum at the Tower Inn Thursday, said this is the first time they have included such category.
"We expect pet owners to be very excited for this event. It's really for fun," Fernandez said.
She said regular categories like the 10K, 5K open, 5K for HGS members and 3K fun run are still entered in the footrace that offers cash prizes, certificates and medals to the winners.
"This is a very special project for us every year since it will benefit the Davao Children Cancer Fund Inc. that's been managing the House of Hope. We always look forward to helping the children with cancer in this way. Participants will not only enjoy the run or win prizes but also help the kids with cancer," Fernandez said.
Interested participants may still sign up at HGS or contact (082) 222-3041.
Registration fees are P200 for 10K, P150 for 5K open and P120 for 5K HGS members. Only the first 500 registrants will receive free shirts although the fees are inclusive of light snacks and race number. (MLSA)
