Events: WWF-Philippines teams up with Pinoy Fitness Atleta for a virtual run to promote environmental conservation

MANILA, PHILIPPINES — The Filipino running community is in for another special challenge as the World Wide Fund for Nature Philippines (WWF-Philippines) launches GO for Conservation: The WWF 60th Anniversary Virtual Run in partnership with Pinoy Fitness Atleta.

With the relationship of human and planetary health becoming evident now more than ever, PF Atleta President and Founder Jeff Lo shared that they want to take on a more participative role in promoting environmental conservation across the local running community.

“This partnership is our way to give back to nature that has always welcomed us on its trails. The pandemic and the continuing lockdowns affected our fitness routines, but through the virtual run, not only do we get to take back control of our health but also ensure the protection of the environment by supporting WWF-Philippines and its conservation initiatives,” said Lo.
