EcoFest Run 2023 at Central Park, Filinvest City, Alabang / October 22, 2023


MNL City Run is taking a significant stride towards a healthier planet and a healthier community, including the beloved furry friends of many. They present EcoFest Run: Striding Towards Sustainability, an event featuring a special 1km Dog Run for an eco-conscious and positively delightful experience. It will held at Central Park, Filinvest City in Alabang, Muntinlupa City on October 22, 2023 (Sunday).


As the third event of the year for MNL City Run, EcoFest Run continues the organization’s dedication to making a positive community impact. Following a Php50,000 grant to the Cerebral Palsy Super Warriors Philippines, MNL City Run now calls upon runners in the metro and beyond to run for the benefit of the Million Trees Foundation Inc.

Established in 2017, the foundation champions the conservation and rehabilitation of Manila Bay and critical watersheds Angat, Ipo, Kaliwa, La Mesa, Laguna Lake, Umiray, and Upper Marikina. Their goal is to ensure that there are one million trees planted every year in an effort to sustain adequate water levels in key areas and safeguard the environment.

EcoFest Run is not just about environmental stewardship; it’s a lively celebration that fuses eco-consciousness with the thrill of a race. The introduction of the 1km Dog Run allows participants to share this unique experience with their pets.


Just like how the roots of a single tree channel and preserve water, each step you take in MNL City Run's newest event becomes a meaningful act of water conservation while keeping your fitness goals in check. So, lace up your shoes, leash up your dogs, and join us at EcoFest Run: Striding Towards Sustainability - where every stride counts for a greener future!
