THE second annual DZMM Takbo Para sa Karunungan fun run will kick off at the Quirino Grandstand at 6 a.m. on March 11.

The event is open to everyone who wants to join in the 3-km, 5-km, 10-km, and 21-km race categories.

Have something to report? Tell us in text, photos or videos.

Registration fees for the run are at P300, P350, P400 and P500.

The Takbo Para sa Karunungan will continue the radio station's advocacy to give education for children in the country.

The fun run will benefit 25 scholars from Sendong-hit cities of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan.

It will also raise funds for the continued scholarship of the 25 Ondoy victims who were chosen as beneficiaries of last year's run.

DZMM started organizing such event in 1999, when it launched Takbo Para sa Kalikasan. The run, which was annually held until 2010, was in support of several campaigns for a greener environment and the continued rehabilitation of the La Mesa watershed and the Ilog Pasig project.

During the fun run, participants will also get to watch performances from our local artists. (Sunnex)
