I Am A Patriot: Takbo Para Sa Bayan 2026

About This Race

The Fourth Degree of the Knights of Columbus is a distinguished international organization of Catholic gentlemen, with its roots and headquarters in the United States. In the Philippines, it functions as a mandated church organization, dedicated to enriching the spirituality of its members and supporting the socio-civic activities of our local parishes. As Fourth Degree members, we are committed not only to church and community service but also to fostering patriotism—the core principle of the Fourth Degree. In line with our mission, we are proud to announce the second edition of our fundraiser: "I AM A PATRIOT, TAKBO PARA SA BAYAN." This fun run will be held on June 6, 2026, at the SM Grounds, SM Mall of Asia, featuring race categories of 1.5K, 3K, 5K, 10K, and 16K. This event marks the continuation of an annual tradition to promote love of country and national pride. We also look forward to continue celebrating this meaningful event with you in the years to come, as we endeavor to inspire Filipinos to embrace patriotism and community spirit, to take pride in their nationality, and to view love of country as a guiding principle. This run provides an excellent platform for collaboration and a noble opportunity for you to support a meaningful cause. And so, we humbly invite you to partner with us in making this event a success. Together, let us celebrate patriotism and promote a sense of national pride among our countrymen. Join us in running for the country—because every step we take is for the love of our nation.
