Patrick was a passionate runner who ran a total of 127,811.89 km in his lifetime, inspiring countless others to run and be their best selves in service to others. Sadly, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in June 2021 and passed away on November 6, 2022.

The RunningShield 16K Global Run is an opportunity for people to continue Patrick’s legacy by encouraging others to live their best lives through running and to help fight pancreatic cancer. Participants are invited to run 16k and help complete 40,075 km distance once around the world. The event aims to raise funds for the Philippine College of Surgeons Cancer Committee Foundation.

Registration is free for individuals, and groups/clubs can register for a fee of P1,000. Finishers will have a chance to win raffle prizes from Condura and Smeg, and will receive a 10% discount on regularly priced items from Asics. Donations can also be made directly to the beneficiary, and an exclusive “Life is Good, Running Made it Better” cap and run shirt bundle is available for purchase.
