Run as one: Hope in motion 2026 is presented by the UP Industrial Engineering Club in collaboration with the UP Industrial Engineering Alumni Association.The organization also extends its sincerest gratitude to their co-presentors, Milo Philippines and Century Tuna, for making this fun run possible.

Run as one had its inaugural run back in 2018 with hopes to promote healthy-living through fitness, community solidarity, and social responsibility. Now, they have grown into a platform to support the educational needs of students beyond the UP IE Club organization and UP Diliman community.

The primary beneficiaries of this event are Tulong Eskwela and UPCAMP, two projects dedicated to improving access to proper education and student welfare.

Tulong Eskwela is a UP IE Club project that partners with local learning centers to provide support based on their specific needs, from facility improvements to community visits. This year, the project aims to bridge learning gaps by producing tangible results through facility enhancement, showing that the project has grown beyond simple visit sessions. This year’s Tulong Eskwela is partnered with the Kaingin 1 Child Development Center, located in Barangay Pansol, Quezon City. The learning center provides free early childhood education and serves over 100 children from ages three to four years old through three daily classes. The UP IE Club’s Tulong Eskwela aims to provide tangible support through programs that address the center’s needs.

To further this advocacy, UPCAMP, established in 2001, is a free six-week review program that supports public senior high school students in preparation for their college entrance exams, especially the UPCAT. UPCAMP partners with various public high schools in Quezon City, and annually holds review sessions for six Saturdays, where they conduct mock exams and assessments. Last 2025, the program helped over 250 students, and this year, their goal is to nourish existing partnerships and increase the quality of the program. This program was also a Ten Accomplished Youth Organizations (TAYO) awardee in 2003.

This event welcomes everyone to join and support our advocacies! Beginners, experienced runners, and even those beyond the university community.
