10 years and Running: Stripes Run 2019 is Back For Literacy

Lifestyle & Experiences

Now on its tenth illustrious year, McDonald’s Stripes Run is back on December 1, 2019 at the SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds, all for reading at Stripes Run 2019!

For the past 10 years, Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) in the Philippines has been the beneficiary of McDonald’s Stripes Run. Proceeds of the annual fun run go to the Ronald McDonald Read to Learn – a beginning reading program for Grade 1 and 2 public elementary school students.

In partnership with DepEd, it is aimed at eradicating illiteracy among Filipino children. To date, the Ronald McDonald Read To Learn program has reached over 12 million students, trained over 28 thousand educators, and distributed more than 367 thousand books.

This year, McDonald’s once again invites families and friends to pledge their support for children’s literacy at Stripes Run 2019! Registration with three possible options are as follows:

Upon registration, you get a race kit with a Stripes Run shirt, 1 pair of Stripes Socks, 1 Race Bib, 1 McDonald’s Longgadesal, and 1 Race Map. Exciting game booths and activities also await the entire family and barkada during the run!
