The Mikel Lovina Jamborun is a virtual run held annually in honor of Mikel Lovina, who passed away at the age of 18 in a car accident 26 years ago. The run began as a yearly tradition for Mikel’s family in 2013, and in recent years has become a charity event in partnership with NVC Foundation.
In 2022, the run raised funds for 85,439 Mingo Meals for children affected by Typhoon Odette in Siargao. In 2021, the run raised funds for 58,625 Mingo Meals for the Feeding Force Project to combat hunger due to the Covid 19 pandemic. The run also raised funds for Mingo Meals for survivors of the Taal Volcano eruption in 2020, and in previous years raised funds to provide LoveBags filled with school supplies to children in need.
The Mikel Lovina Jamborun 2023 will take place from January 22 to 29, and will be a virtual race open to participants from anywhere in the world. To join, runners must download the Pinoy Fitness app and register for the race, with a donation of P500 serving as the registration fee. The race will have three distances to choose from: 11k to mark the 11th year of the Jamborun, 26k to commemorate the years since Mikel’s passing, and 44k to celebrate what would have been Mikel’s 44th birthday. For every kilometer run, a child will be fed through the proceeds raised.
Participants can upload their runs in the Pinoy Fitness app, and those who complete their chosen distance will be eligible for a raffle to win prizes from sponsors. Commemorative Vamos caps will also be available for purchase, with all proceeds going to benefit NVC. Join the Mikel Lovina Jamborun 2023 and make a difference while honoring the memory of Mikel Lovina.
