Quota International to hold 12K, 6K races
A women’s civic group in Cebu is organizing a fun run to raise funds for children with hearing, speech and sight impairments.
Quota International-Cebu South will be staging a 12-kilometer and 6-kilometer race on March 7 at The Terraces, Ayala Center Cebu. (Interactive race map available at the end of this article.)
Club president June Chiongbian said it is the first time that the club is sponsoring a race. She said that with people now more conscious about their wellness, “it is appropriate that we’re doing a fun run.”
