Organized by the Hepatology Society of the Philippines (HSP), the footrace drew 1,410 participants. The event aimed to raise awareness on liver health while also serving as a fundraiser for HSP’s advocacy programs on education, research, prevention, and patient care.

Founded in 2006 and currently led by president Dr. Jennielyn Agcaoili-Conde, the HSP organized the event through its run committee head Dr. Jose Guillain Cataluña, coordinator Dr. Michelle Ong-Chu, and Dr. Judy Lao-Tan. The group continues to push nationwide efforts to improve education, prevention, and treatment for Filipinos affected by liver conditions.

The LiveRun was revived in 2019 as a virtual event before returning to the road last year in Baguio City. This year’s staging in Cebu coincided with the HSP Midyear Convention.(CCM)
