Backbeat Run 2017: The Coolest and Well-Rewarded Run for a Cause

 

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Where else can you find a fun run that generously rewards you perks and freebies from start to finish?

Even more, techies will also rejoice as their rewards are a bunch of the coolest gadgets distributed by Banbros like products from Plantronics, Brother, ThiEYE and other gadget brands, that will let you enjoy a well-entertained and leisurely lifestyle.

Imagine receiving a Plantronics ML15 Bluetooth Headset that costs P995 as part of the race kit! This alone makes the run seem like free.

Race winners (3 for every category) gets to bring home gadgets as well. The biggest delegation per company, organization and school also gets more amazing prizes. It's the best motivating factor for groups to join the run.

But wait, there's more! They also make it the ultimate race by giving you a concert party as the participants are entertained by bands, DJs and dancers.

This must be the coolest fun run ever conceptualized. It is very evident that the organizers are seemingly giving away prizes to the participants.

Beyond the fun run is an advocacy as well as the proceeds of the run will go to the Kythe Foundation which takes care of children with cancer. We were surprised that a young man with disability (amputated leg) went up front to give his message or testimonial of how Kythe Foundation has helped him to keep his courage to face life amidst the disability. Now this is the most honorable reason why you have to join this event. 

Kudos to all the sponsors and the brains behind this event. Most of them were at the media launch held on April 17, 2017 at Abe Restaurant Mall of Asia. 

For more information, we've included the official press release below:
