Join WWF-Philippines Reverse The Run on July 22

 

“Step back then move forward” - This statement represents the World Wide Fund for Nature Philippines’ (WWF-Philippines) vision to confront the present state of the environment by studying the mistakes of the past then focusing on building a greener future and keeping the Earth a living planet

According to WWF-Philippines, humanity is currently using 50% more resources than the Earth can provide. We are living as if we have two planets at our disposal. What better way to secure a more sustainable future than to invite tomorrow’s stewards – the youth – to join WWF-Philippines’ conservation efforts?

WWF-Philippines will hold the Reverse Run to launch the Reverse the Bad Student Program, a year-long membership program developed for high school and college students who want to amplify their commitment to protect the environment. This event will happen on July 22, 2012 at the SM Mall of Asia.

As suggested by its name, WWF’s Reverse Run will entail race participants to run in reverse as a symbolic way of joining the organization’s mission to stop and eventually reverse the degradation of nature. Participants will backpedal through the course for 200 meters and will then run forward. 

WWF-Philippines is inviting us to join in the Reverse Run. As an added treat, students who register for the run are automatically enlisted as members of the WWF Reverse the Bad Student Program. 

There will be registration fee of Php 500 for those running the 3-kilometer and 6-kilometer course, and Php 600 will be asked for those taking the 12-kilometer route.

To register, just visit Chris Sports (SM Mall of Asia, SM Manila, Glorietta 3 branches) and Skechers (Trinoma, Market-Market, Festival Mall Alabang branches) or email  wwfreverserun@gmail.com visit wwf.org.ph/reversethebad
