THE “Second Elizabeth Royal Run 2013” will unfold this Sunday starting at the Terraces of Ayala Center Cebu. The run aims to raise funds to help rebuild the Cebu City Medical Center (CCMC).
Hotel Elizabeth’s front office manager Jean B. Daño expects to draw around a thousand runners and said that registration will extend up to the race day.
“Our president, Elizabeth Fernando of Fersal Hotel Group is really into charity works. Last year, our proceeds went to the San Pedro Calungsod Foundation. This year, we decided to support the rebuilding of the Cebu City Medical Center (CCMC) which was greatly affected by the 7.2-magnitude earthquake that rocked Cebu and Bohol. The CCMC is no longer safe for occupancy forcing patients to take temporary shelter at the Cebu City Fire Department across the CCMC building,” Daño said.
“In support of the cause, we also invited the CCMC staff to run with us and help raise funds for the rebuilding of the city hospital,” said Daño.
The race will feature a men’s and women’s 21K run, 10K and 5K. As of yesterday, more than 700 runners have already registered.
Registration fee is pegged at P450 for the 21K, P350 for 10K and P300 for 5K inclusive of singlet and a finisher’s medal.
Registration areas are Hotel Elizabeth at Archbishop Reyes Avenue in barangay Camputhaw and at the Ayala Active Zone.
