MANILA, PHILIPPINES — McDonald’s Philippines recently announced that registration for its annual family fun run is now open. Since 2010, McDonald’s Stripes Run has been a much-awaited event that gathers thousands of runners, now including their fur babies, to don striped socks and have fun, all for the benefit of Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) Philippines.
This year’s McDonald’s Stripes Run, happening on December 01 at SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds, aims to raise funds to help RMHC build more Bahay Bulilit Learning Centers across the country. These Centers are safe spaces for children ages two to four, providing access to early childhood education while their parents are at work. There are currently 43 Bahay Bulilit Learning Centers in the country.
“We’re expecting over 10,000 participants this year,” said Adi Hernandez, McDonald’s Philippines Assistant Vice President for Corporate Relations and Impact and Vice President of RMHC Philippines. “McDonald’s is about making feel-good moments happen with experiences that bring friends and families together in fun and special ways. More importantly, McDonald’s Stripes Run is a demonstration of our commitment to supporting children’s well-being through RMHC and its flagship program, Bahay Bulilit.”
What’s new with this year’s McDonald’s Stripes Run?
The McDonald’s Stripes Run 2024 participants can choose from 10km, 5km, 3km, and 1km. They can even run with their fur baby in the 1km Fur Category. Best of all, each participant will receive an exclusive race kit to wear on race day, inclusive of a race singlet, socks for kids and adults, a race map, a bib, a breakfast meal on race day, and a finisher’s token. Participants in the 1k Fur Stripes will receive a dog bandana for their fur baby.
“Aside from the races, we have prepared a fun program with a lot of activities and, of course, McDonald’s food to enjoy,” said Adi. “We invite everyone to join and run with your family, friends, and furry pals for this year’s Stripes Run. It’ll be a great bonding experience, and you’ll also be able to support RMHC in providing more families with better access to early childhood care and development.”
