In another press release, PADS stated that, "Our goal isn't to break world records.

One of PSEFI-SKILLS' Deaf graduates, Denven Verano, who now works as housekeeping staff of Quest Hotel-Cebu, joined this event with his other Deaf colleagues from the Gualandi Mission for the Deaf.

The primary run was set here in Cebu City, where Filipinos and international guests took to the streets to show their support. Simultaneously, other cities in the country also hosted runs with the support of SM Malls. On the same day, March 19, there had been confirmed runs across North and South America, Europe, Australia, Asia and the Pacific nations. The final run of the day was hosted by Google at the Googleplex in Mountain View, California, USA.

The race categories consisted of 3K (Php 350), 6K (Php 450), 12K (Php 550) and 21K (Php 650). For Persons With Disabilities (PWDs) joining the event, a special 1K category was included. Race proceeds will be used for the awareness campaign of PADS' flagship project, Break the Silence, the prevention of sexual abuse of Deaf women and children in the Philippines. We would like to thank Mr. Rob Gomm, PADS' Marketing Supervisor who worked hard to make this event a truly successful one! Till next year's Global Run!
