The 2015 Heroes Run set on November is the biggest get-together for military men and women as well as the general running public on their quest to aid the fallen and injured soldiers' dependents. This year, the event will have three (3) simultaneous gun starts: Manila, Ilo-Ilo (Visayas) and the recently added, Davao (Mindanao). The aim of the run is to unite Filipino runners, whether professional or amateur to take part in this nationalistic effort.
According to Col. Leo Guinid, the Athletic Representative of PMAAAI, "Heroes Run has been one of the most successful events in the country in terms of uniting the public and the military. It breaks down boundaries and shows the good nature of each side. It adds inspiration to the soldiers while it makes the public appreciate more the sacrifices our soldiers make for the sake of the country's peace and order."
Year after year and now embarking on its fourth year, the Philippine Military Academy Alumni Association, Inc. (PMAAAI) launches another Heroes Run. But this time, it's bigger than ever and expected to invite 5,000 runners nationwide.
