Race to raise young athletes highlights latest Vermosa Green Run

Ayala Land Estates x Takbo Kabitenyo

For the 2024 edition of The Green Run at Vermosa, Ayala Land Estates goes an extra mile in helping discover the next great athlete.

With their theme for this year being "Go Greener, Get Leaner, Give Back: Run Towards a Brighter Future," they have added a new cause to their ranks.

Serving as a beneficiary for this year's edition is Takbo Kabitenyo. Based in Cavite, the organization is dedicate to nurture the talents of its aspiring athletes who have the ambition, potential, and desire to be national athletes.

Ayala Land recently held a ceremony at the Sports Hub with said organization, where they donated thirty Green Run race kits, as well as Merrell products. ALE Group Head of Marketing and Communications Chrissy Roa led the charge in the event.

Takbo Kabitenyo will also receive freebies and gifts from all the participating sponsors at the run slated to take place on June 30.

Roa shares about this partnership, "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." She adds, "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 the young Cavite athletes."

From Takbo's perspective, its president Noel Diaz notes, "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."
