FOR A CHANGE

I haven't joined a marathon in months and this seems interesting...Set on October, 10, 2010, the 10.10.10 Run for the Pasig River aims to bring together 120,000 runners. What makes it more exciting is it aims to beat an existing Guinness World Record for the largest foot race in the world. The current holder is the San Francisco Bay Breakers with 110,000 runners.

While the 120,000 target looks within reach, CTSI, the official logistics partner of the event, is calling on all volunteers to help handle the baggage deposit and retrieval areas. Volunteers are tasked to receive, tag, store the bags from the three different start areas (MOA grounds for 3K, CCP grounds for 5K and in front of Manila Peninsula for 10K), transport them to the finish area at MOA and distribute them to the rightful owners. The expected number of bags which will be deposited is close to 70,000 and based on CTSI simulations and projections, and estimated 500-600 people are needed to man the booths and counters.

So if you are equipped with your updated medical and life insurance quotes, and are able-bodied, why not donate your time and energy to helping other people run by volunteering at CTSI?
