SM2SM Run is running on its eighth year as it unfolds four new race categories: 4K, 8K, 12K and 21K to be held on February 18, 2018 (Sunday) at SM City Cebu. The proceeds of the annual fun run go to the Cebu News Workers’ projects and new programs and the Street Children of Cebu Foundation headed by Councilor Margot Osmeña.
Ms. Marissa N. Fernan, VP SM Prime Holdings, Inc. takes pride and joy in the charitable fun run as she shared to the media and bloggers of how SM City Cebu’s big event have helped nurture young & older runners and the running community in Cebu, as well. “For the second year, we will be inviting those who are training under Mary Joy Tabal to join and we will be giving them free registration — that is our partnership with them as well as the running programs of Mayor Cristina Frasco in Liloan,” added Ms. Fernan.
