For family and friends who have plans to hit Boracay this summer, a thrilling run on the powdery white sands of the island is what the annual SKYATHON beach run offers.
Organized by SKY Cable and RunRio, SKYATHON lets runners become heroes for Boracay by allowing them to take part in the coral reef planting a few days ahead before the run since coral reef rehabilitation is an advocacy that SKYATHON staunchly supports. In fact, part of the proceeds of SKYATHON will go to the Coral REEFurbishment Project of the Boracay Foundation to help restore Boracay’s damaged coral reefs and maintain the island’s pristine beauty.
SKYATHON will happen on April 22 at the Epic Beach Front (station 2). Aspiring runners can choose from a 3K (P500), 5K (P600), and 10K (P800) beach run.
Online registration is open until April 10.
