Looking for something unique and exciting to do on a weekend? Why not fire up your heart rate and join some of your favorite student athletes in running for a cause?

FILA and Athletes in Action (AIA) organized the Schools Run For School Rooms—a fun run for the benefit of Filipino youth who were worst hit by Typhoon Sendong in 2011. Proceeds of the event will go to the rehabilitation of classrooms in Iligan city.

The run will take place on July 7 at Bonifacio Global City. Be there bright and early because gun start is at 5am!

Before heading out to run though, make sure you’ve had the proper training (check out the latest issue of Runner’s World for tips!) and the right footwear. Check out FILA’s new line of running shoes, which will allow you to run in style and comfort.

Race tickets and registration forms are available at SM Ticketnet outlets. Singlets and race bibs can be claimed at Fila Stores in Metro Manila. For exclusive updates, follow FILA on Twitter (@filamanila) or be a fan on Facebook (FILAPhilippines).

Race you to the finish line,
