The funds will also be used to aid areas hit by disasters and health emergencies.

The race route starts and finishes at the Quirino Grandstand, with u-turn slots at Pedro Gil for three-kilometer (3K) runners and Quirino Avenue for those running five kilometers (5K).

Assembly time is 4 a.m. at the Quirino Grandstand. The 5K gun start is at 5:25 a.m. and 5:50 a.m. for 3K runners.
