Demonstrating its unwavering commitment to humanitarian service, the 𝗥𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗹𝗼𝗶𝗹𝗼 𝗪𝗲𝘀𝘁 proudly stood alongside its mother club, the 𝗥𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗹𝗼𝗶𝗹𝗼 𝗪𝗲𝘀𝘁, in supporting 𝗣𝗜𝗣 𝗥𝘂𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲: 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝗜𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗼, 𝗥𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗡𝗼𝘄! — a district-wide advocacy run organized under 𝗥𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁 𝟯𝟴𝟱𝟬 in support of the global End Polio Now campaign.

Held on 𝗙𝗲𝗯𝗿𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝟮𝟭, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, at the 𝗜𝗹𝗼𝗶𝗹𝗼 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗹 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀, the event brought together 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝟱𝟬𝟬 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀, including Rotarians, Rotaractors, running enthusiasts, and advocacy partners from across Western Visayas and neighboring regions. The advocacy run, which took place from 3:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m., transformed the early morning gathering into a powerful display of unity and purpose in the global effort to eradicate polio.

The initiative formed part of Rotary’s long-standing humanitarian mission, which for more than 35 years has mobilized communities worldwide to eliminate the debilitating disease through vaccination campaigns, awareness programs, and international partnerships with health organizations and governments. While global polio cases have decreased by over 99 percent since the late 1980s, Rotary leaders emphasize that sustained advocacy and community engagement remain critical until the virus is completely eradicated.

The PIP Run featured multiple race categories—𝟮𝟭𝗞𝗠, 𝟭𝟬𝗞𝗠, 𝟱𝗞𝗠, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝟯𝗞𝗠—allowing participants from various backgrounds and fitness levels to take part in the advocacy. The event was organized in partnership with Philippine Extreme Sports Explorer Club Inc. and supported by the local running community Run Iloilo, ensuring a professionally organized and purpose-driven race experience.

Adding further significance to the event, the run also served as the District Governor PIP Acepcion Half Marathon, recognizing the leadership and advocacy of Pip Acepcion, whose term has strongly championed health initiatives and community engagement across the district. During the program, a pledge-signing ceremony was held where participants and partners reaffirmed their collective commitment to the End Polio Now campaign.

Throughout the venue, the advocacy was clearly visible—from banners and posters to runners’ singlets and finisher shirts carrying the iconic 𝙀𝙉𝘿 𝙋𝙊𝙇𝙄𝙊 𝙉𝙊𝙒 message. Media partners and community organizations also helped amplify the campaign online, encouraging participants to share their stories and experiences to further raise awareness.

For the Rotaract Club of Iloilo West, supporting this initiative was a meaningful expression of solidarity with the broader Rotary family and the global humanitarian cause it represents. By assisting and participating in the event, Rotaractors contributed to an advocacy that extends far beyond the race course—one that aims to protect future generations from a preventable disease.

As runners crossed the finish line and the morning sun rose over Iloilo City, the energy of the event served as a powerful reminder that every stride taken, every voice raised, and every community united brings the world closer to a historic milestone: a future free from polio.

Through initiatives like the PIP Run 2026, Rotary and Rotaract continue to demonstrate that collective action—whether through service, advocacy, or even running together—can help create lasting global impact.
