The Kalayaan Trail Run and Music Festival, according to Eric Coronacion of the P7 Events will benefit patients at the Baguio General Hospital Dialysis Center.
Organizers added the event also aims “to create an iconic annual event in time of the celebration of the Philippine Independence Day.”
The race, according to organizers is designed to give a new experience for all the participants, runners and non-runners alike integrating the race to a food and music festival.
