Race to raise young athletes at Vermosa Green Run

“We are committed to providing these aspiring athletes with the training, support and opportunities they need to achieve their dreams and represent our community on a national level.” ~Chrissy Roa, Group Head of Marketing and Communications for Ayala Land Estates

The Green Run at Vermosa has taken its popular multi-category run to the next level this year.

Aside from providing an opportunity for recreational runners, running enthusiasts, serious runners, and elite athletes to hit the trails for recreation and training, this year's run is dedicated to assisting young runners from Cavite who want to pursue their dreams of becoming national track athletes.

On June 14, Ayala Land Estates, Inc. welcomed Takbo Kabitenyo, a Cavite-based organization dedicated to developing the talents of aspiring athletes with the ambition and potential to compete at the national level. Ayala Land, through its Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub in Imus, welcomed Cavite's aspiring runners.

Ayala Land representatives, led by Chrissy Roa, Group Head of Marketing and Communications for Ayala Land Estates, donated 30 Green Run race kits and products from Merrell, a running brand, to the Cavite running organization in Vermosa. The Takbo Kabitenyo group will also receive freebies and gifts from all Vermosa Green Run sponsors during the Run, which will begin on Sunday, June 30. 

The Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub, envisioned to be the preferred venue for national and international sports events in the Philippines, will be a perfect training camp for the young Cavite athletes.

Noel Diaz, Takbo Kabitenyo President, expressed his gratitude for the support.

”We are deeply grateful to Ayala Land Estates Inc.and Vermosa  for choosing Takbo Kabitenyo as one of the beneficiaries of the 2024 The Green Run. The exposure to this prestigious event will hopefully inspire our young runners to elevate their aspirations and work even harder towards excellence in their chosen sports.” ~Noel Diaz, Takbo Kabitenyo President
