Broadcast Journalist Daniel Razon and UNTV are eyeing to carve another historic fun run for education with at least 300,000 participants joining the Kahit Isang Araw Lang Unity Run on January 22, 2012.

“The project is actually a fitting follow up of a similar worthy event held last 2010…that, not only left a mark in history in terms of the number of participants, but for the realization of its advocacy that was of providing free college education to beneficiaries,” Mr. Razon said during the Unity Run’s press conference.

Participants will come from the seven key cities in the Philippines, where one of the major spots in the National Capital Region, the SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City, will be seeing two-thirds of the expected registrations flocking the area. Other locations include Bacolod, Butuan, Cebu, Davao, Puerto Princesa, and Tacloban.

This year, the funds to be raised from the unity run will be used to provide computer facilities to public schools in the country.

The event categories will start at 4 a.m. starting with 10-K, 5-K, and 3-K followed by the ceremonial run at 6:30 a.m.

This year’s Unity Run is the second charity fun run organized by Breakthroughs and Milestone Productions International through Kuya Daniel and by marketing specialist firm Avant Garde Creatives. In 2010, the record-breaking Kahit Isang Araw Lang – Takbo Para sa Libreng Kolehiyo (Just One Day – Run for Free College) recorded more than 50,000 runners.

In partnertship with the Department of Education, the event is also the second project formed between Kuya Daniel through UNTV and the former for the Adopt-a-School program.

Just last year, a two-storey building with seven classrooms was constructed at Apalit National High School in Pampanga.

Besides his projects for adopt-a-school, Kuya Daniel also launched in 2010 two units of classroom on wheels, called Dunong-Gulong, that aims to bring education to out-of-school youth and adult learners in remote provinces. The product of the first historic marathon-for-a-cause, La Verdad Christian College in Apalit and Caloocan branches continue to support the free education of roughly 700 elementary, high school, and college students.
