MANDALUYONG CITY -- On January 20, 2022, the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) kicked off its annual Million Volunteer Run. This year's event will be first to be done virtually. Million Volunteer Run 6 (MVR) is a virtual Bike and Run edition for cyclists, runners, and those who want to get into shape or adopt a healthy lifestyle.

Due to the rising cases of COVID-19 in the country, PRC transformed its annual event into a virtual run or bike edition where participants can finish their selected distance within a certain period, at their own pace, on their own time, and in their venue.

“Isa itong paraan upang makapag-raise ng funds to support our operations for COVID-19 and Typhoon responses. Magtulungan tayo upang matulungan natin ang higit na mga nangangailangan nating kababayan sa panahon ng sakuna at pandemya,” PRC Chairman and CEO Sen. Dick Gordon said.

PRC continues to raise funds to support the ongoing COVID-19 and Typhoon Odette operations. This event aims to help the most vulnerable by providing life-saving projects such as Isolation Facilities, Emergency Field Hospitals, Vaccination, Testing, and Relief operations to people affected by the recent typhoons.

Registration is still ongoing for those who want to participate in the event. The Bike or Run edition costs P585, while both Run and Bike registration fees are P1,085. The registration includes a raffle ticket for major and minor prizes, e-entitlements, and medals for the first 100 finishers.
