Auto Review, the country’s longest-running motoring show, is set to close the curtain of Road Safety Olympics season with fuel-eco challenge and running event at the SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City.
The Auto Review Road Safety Olympics finale-cum-launch dubbed as “Dusk-to-Dawn” (D2D) event is eyed as the most exciting highlight affair ever as a chapter closes and another begins, both on the same day on May 22.
Now on its 7th edition, the Auto Review Run for Road Safety pushes the advocacy from the start all the way to the finish line with the aim to echo the essence of the road to all its users. It is comprised of the 3k, 5k and 10k race categories.
While the fuel eco challenge, meantime, pits car participants in a city street competition to test their driving efficiency, as well as their observance of traffic rules and regulations.
These activities are part of the four-sport season 1 where games in basketball and volleyball were already held early last year. This initiative has been part of a long-term road advocacy program that has started since 2004 to promulgate further awareness through the 22 years of motoring and travel TV show, Auto Review. Part of the proceeds will go to the United Nations-initiated Decade of Action for Road Safety (DARS) 2011-2020 projects with one of the major undertakers, the Philippine Global Road Safety Partnership (PGRSP).
Auto Review strongly believes that there should be a continuous campaign to promote road safety in view of the hundreds of road accidents that take place in various parts of the country every day. Many of these unfortunate incidents could be avoided if people have their safety and those of others in mind—at all times. And it would be more refreshing to feed information through exciting activities, such as sports.
The event is in collaboration with Automobile Association Philippines, PGRSP, World Health Organization, Department of Transportation and Communication, Metro-Manila Development Authority, Department of Interior & Local Government and the Department of Education, carmudi.com.ph, car manufacturers and assemblers, motoring-industry related companies, other government agencies, private institutions and media outfits.
