Gifts come in many forms. Some gifts are wrapped in boxes and ribbons. Some gifts are shared through time and presence. But among the most meaningful gifts are those that bring hope, strength, and love to others.
This holiday season, runners from the metro and beyond have the opportunity to give such a gift through The Gift of Running with Purpose and Hope.
A meaningful run to end 2025
On December 7, 2025, at Central Park, Filinvest City, Alabang, runners, families, friends, and even fur parents are all invited to gather for a meaningful run that embodies the true spirit of giving. With four exciting categories — 1K Dog Run, 3K, 5K, and 10K — there’s a race for everyone.
Presented by MNL City Run, this event is for the benefit of the Child Haus Foundation.
A gift that keeps on giving
In the Philippines, battling cancer is a journey that no child should face alone. Created through the initiative of the Ricky Reyes Foundation, the Center for Health Improvement and Life Development (CHILD) Haus has stood as a sanctuary of hope for indigent children undergoing cancer treatment. As the first and only temporary home of its kind in the country, CHILD Haus provides free shelter, care, and emotional support to young patients and their families as they receive treatment in nearby hospitals.
For its upcoming event, MNL City Run is choosing this organization as its beneficiary. This means that every registration for The Gift of Running is more than just a race entry — it is a gift that directly supports these courageous children and their families. Each stride helps them continue their fight, reminding them that they are not alone and that a community stands with them in hope, love, and healing.
This December, MNL City Run invites everyone to run not only with their feet but also with their hearts. Because in every stride, there is a gift — and in every gift, there is hope. Sign up and, together, let’s give the gift of running!
