AlisonThis is the reason why the Pink October Run continues with its 13th edition on October 13, 2019.For only P500, one can contribute to the cause by joining the run which has three distances—3 kilometer, 6k and 12k.

“We’ve been getting simple cases because of early diagnosis,” said Mancao, which means that the run has helped in spreading awareness about breast cancer. Mancao and Tan were joined by Dr. Tess Annette Serrato-Libron, board member of the Philippine Society of General Surgeons; ICanServe Foundation’s Baby Hisoler and Nemia Medalle-Corilla; Mariam Callet; Malyn Oporto and race director Joel Baring during the press conference for the event held Wednesday, September 11, 2019, at the Casino Español.

Mancao added that they are also the first race to implement a no plastic policy so participants are encouraged to bring their own hydration kits.
