“Run for your Life 2 (This is not a fun run)” is also a part of the series of activities to commemorate the abduction of Karen Empeño and Sherlyn Cadapan, who was also a sprinter/triathlete.

To put a “twist” to the usual, there will be a “prison cell,” and participants will be encouraged to keep their eyes open for “Jovito Palparan”, whom they must capture by virtue of citizen’s arrest.

The real Gen. Jovito Palparan Jr. is a fugitive who remains scot-free after he was served a warrant of arrest for kidnapping and illegal detention of Karen and Sherlyn.

The run will also serve as a fundraising event to generate financial support for the ongoing legal cases against Palparan and all human rights violators, so donations for the run are very welcome. A short program will be held at the end of the 4.4K run, at the foot of the AS steps.

We hope that you can join us on the 22nd. Please contact us through 4354146 (Karapatan Office). Thank you very much.
