NCR PhilHealth Run 2015

In celebration of its 20th anniversary, Philhealth will launch again their second simultaneous nationwide run. The NCR race will be held at the Quezon Memorial Circle with the route traversing the vast and wide Commonwealth Avenue. This time a 20km category is included to commemorate their 20th year anniversary. The beneficiary of this year's race is the Golden Reception and Action Center for the Elderly and Other Special Cases or GRACES which is a residential care facility that provides care to male and female senior citizens 60 years old and above which is being managed by the DSWD-NCR. All proceeds, but 20% will go directly to GRACES.
