Wanted: 'Running Addicts' to Fight Against Illegal Drugs!

The fight against illegal drugs becomes more intense when the former Davao mayor Rodrigo Roa Duterte took a presidential seat. Several campaigns emerged involving force and blood.

But this October 2016, another form of campaign will take place. But this time instead of blood, sweat, fats, and perspiration will come out! Addicts, or should I say running addicts are you ready?!  

The Philippine   National   Police (PNP)  through  the   Police  Community   Relations Group, in partnership with Pinoy Aspiring Runners (PAR) will be organizing a "Takbo Kontra Ilegal Na Droga"  Fun  Run dubbed  as  "The  Running  Addict."  This will be on  October  16,  2016 (Sunday), 4:00 AM  at the CCP Grounds  as a part of the advocacy  of the  PNP to promote the PNPs' drug awareness campaign in line with the advocacy of the current president on the war against illegal drugs.   

Here is the official race poster of the fun run detailing the event:

Yup, as I revealed on my previous post, you will have the chance to run with the #Gwapulis and international male pageant winners Neil Perez (Mister International 2014) and Don Mcgyver (Manhunt International 2015-2016).

There are only three categories in this run - 3KM, 3KM Barefoot, and 5KM. But there are obstacles that will challenge your limit!

In terms of the registration venues, there are three in-store registrations namely SportsHouse, Garmin, and Camp Crame. On the poster above, you may see the branches of these stores as well as the registration fees.

Now let's take a look at the medal and event shirt designs below:

And look, BIBs were also cool:

And of course, here are the race routes:

The Fun-Run  intends to gather  support from  the community  relative to the agenda of the PNP to eradicate drugs through an intense drug awareness campaign.

The  community  at  large  is  the  victim  of the  illegal  drugs,  and  it  is  important to educate them on the ill-effects  of drugs and to encourage them to report any illegal drug activity and crime to the police.   This activity will ultimately develop strong partnership between the PNP and the community.

Part of the proceeds of this event will go to the PNP's program for the rehabilitation of those drug addicts who surrendered.

This is really exciting! PNP and policemen were really trending topics today - in the pageant and modeling we have Neil and Don, in the TV series and entertainment we have Cardo (Coco Martin) in "FPJ's Ang Probinsyano," and of course in the running community, we have now "The Running Addict!" 

So what are you waiting for? Register now and run with us! Runner Rocky is one with this advocacy! See you on the road! (Runner Rocky)
