2017 marks the 8th year of National Geographic's Earth Day Run. Running enthusiasts and Eco warriors are set to gather once again in one of the biggest running events in the country. Presented by National Geographic along with its partners Cherifer Premium and World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF) , the Earth Day Run 2017 is happening on April 23, 2017 in SM Mall of Asia grounds. Simultaneous runs are happening in Manila, Hongkong, Shanghai, Singapore and Taichung.
Registered
runners at Earth Day Run 2017 will not only experience a fun day of outdoor
fitness by joining this year’s event, but will also be doing their part in
contributing to National Geographic’s environmental efforts.
“Earth
Day Run 2017 will be the biggest version of the race yet, with more expected
participants from Manila and four other cities across Asia. We’re also excited
to look back on our eight years of environmental advocacy and share and
celebrate with our runners the positive change that they helped make possible
through the years by joining Earth Day Run. We hope that Earth Day Run 2017 not
only brings communities of running enthusiasts together for the common cause of
saving the environment but also that it amplifies the important message of
doing your own part today to help stop climate change and commit to sustainable
solutions to save our beloved planet Earth,” said Charo Espedido,
Director and Head of Content and Marketing at FOX Networks Group Philippines.
CATEGORIES AND ROUTES
Earth Day
Run 2017 in Manila will be held at the SM Mall of Asia grounds, where

SINGLETS AND MEDALS
RUN IN COSTUME MADE FROM RECYCLED MATERIALS
This year, Earth Day Run will also be sporting new features for
its runners. As a special treat, all race kits will come with
LED shoelaces, serving as a badge of pride and as a safety precaution
for Eco Warriors running at night or before sunrise. Prizes will also
be given to costumed runners who showcase their creativity
by coming in their best ensemble made from recycled materials. Finally, to
make each Eco Warrior’s voice heard in this run for the Earth, advocacy banners
will be hanging above the finish line so that each runner can grab them as they
cross to make a shout-out for the environment, keep as a souvenir, and use for
all their post-run selfies to amplify the message of acting
now to save the environment.
VIP TREATMENT FOR PREVIOUS EDR PARTICIPANTS
VIP treatment and special loyalty perks await all previous Eco Warriors of the Earth Day Run on April 23. Participants
from previous Earth Day Runs will be given priority placement in front of the
starting line at the beginning of the race and can claim their loot bags and
finisher shirt at a special express booth. They can also make use of a special
