The Green Run at Vermosa has taken its popular multi-category run to the next level this year.
Besides providing an opportunity for fun runners, running enthusiasts, serious runners, and elite athletes to hit the trails for recreation and training, this year’s run is focused on assisting young runners from Cavite who want to pursue their dreams of becoming national track athletes.
On June 14, Ayala Land Estates, Inc. welcomed Takbo Kabitenyo, an organization in Cavite dedicated to nurturing the talents of its aspiring athletes who have the ambition and potential to become national athletes. Ayala Land, through its Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub in Imus, opened its doors to the running youngsters of Cavite.
Ayala Land representatives led by Chrissy Roa, Group Head of Marketing and Communications for Ayala Land Estates, donated 30 Green Run race kits and products from Merrell, a brand dedicated to running, to the Cavite running organization at Vermosa. The Takbo Kabitenyo group will also receive freebies and gifts from all Vermosa Green Run sponsors at the Run that will gun off on Sunday, June 30.
“We are committed to providing these aspiring athletes with the training, support, and opportunities they need to achieve their dreams and represent our community on a national level,” said Ms. Roa. The Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub, envisioned to be the preferred venue for national and international sports events in the Philippines, will be a perfect training camp for young Cavite athletes.
Noel Diaz, Takbo Kabitenyo president, expressed his gratitude for the support – ”We are deeply grateful to Ayala Land Estates Inc. and Vermosa for choosing Takbo Kabitenyo as one of the beneficiaries of the 2024 The Green Run. The exposure to this prestigious event will hopefully inspire our young runners to elevate their aspirations and work even harder towards excellence in their chosen sports,” he said.
Ayala Land Estates has launched another running initiative alongside The Green Run this year called the Ayala Vermosa Running Club. It has weekly activities and classes conducted by Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub coaches for its members. The environment-themed run is also supporting the Pawssion Project and Haribon Foundation in its third year.
