MANILA, Philippines<\/strong> \u2013 The highly anticipated McDonald\u2019s Stripes Run 2024<\/strong> concluded with record-breaking success<\/strong> on December 1, 2024, at the SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds. The 13th edition of this family fun run attracted a staggering 11,000 participants, making it the largest turnout in the event\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Since its launch in 2010, the McDonald\u2019s Stripes Run has been a celebration of family, friendship, and fitness.<\/strong> This year\u2019s event continued its tradition of supporting the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC)<\/strong>, raising \u20b11 million<\/strong> for the benefit of the Bahay Bulilit Learning Centers,<\/strong> which provide safe and nurturing spaces for children in underserved communities.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

McDonald\u2019s Philippines attributes the event’s record-breaking participation to continuous innovation and a strong digital outreach strategy. “The McDonald\u2019s Stripes Run has built a loyal following over the years, but we\u2019ve also worked hard to keep it fresh and exciting,\u201d said Timbol-Hernandez. \u201cThis year, we leveraged social media, engaged with schools and fitness groups, and partnered with pet communities to create a truly inclusive event.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of the most celebrated additions to the event is the Fur Stripes category<\/strong>, which allows participants to run alongside their furry companions. This year, the category reached full capacity, with 500 fur babies joining the fun. McDonald\u2019s introduced this unique category to foster inclusivity and recognize pets as an essential part of family bonding.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe inclusion of the Fur Stripes category reflects McDonald\u2019s broader commitment to creating feel-good moments. It\u2019s a way to make the event more inclusive, family-friendly, and meaningful, while celebrating the special bond between humans and their pets,\u201d<\/em> shared Adi Timbol-Hernandez, McDonald\u2019s Philippines Assistant Vice President for Corporate Relations and Impact and Vice President of RMHC Philippines.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Adding to the excitement was the attendance of popular celebrities, including the Agoncillo Family (Ryan, Judy Ann, and Luna), KaladKaren, Angeline Quinto, Ysabel Ortega, Barbie Forteza, and David Licauco.<\/strong> Their presence further energized the crowd and highlighted the event\u2019s appeal across different age groups.<\/p>\n

The proceeds from the Stripes Run will go toward establishing more Bahay Bulilit Learning Centers nationwide. These centers provide safe spaces where children can learn, play, and grow while their parents are at work.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe long-term goal of Bahay Bulilit is to give every child access to quality early learning opportunities, regardless of their background. By participating in the Stripes Run, families are not only strengthening their bonds but also contributing to this important cause,\u201d<\/em> Timbol-Hernandez emphasized.<\/p>\n
