Heavy rains, strong winds, and some flooded streets did not deter the spirited NAMRIA runners from running in the Million Volunteer Run 4 (MVR4) with the tagline “Run to save lives. Run for humanity” at the Quirino Grandstand in Roxas Boulevard, Manila on 21 October 2017. The NAMRIA runners participated in the 3k and 5k distance runs.

The fun run was organized by the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) which aimed to strengthen its network of volunteers and create awareness and raise funds for disaster victims. The proceeds of the fun run will be used for the training and equipment of Red Cross 143, the flagship volunteer program of the PRC. The Red Cross 143 recruits and trains 44 volunteers in every barangay i.e. one team leader plus 43 members.
