CTSI Logistics has been appointed official logistics partner of the 10.10.10 Run for the Pasig River set on October 10, 2010.

CTSI will handle the baggage deposit and retrieval areas during the race. This means CTSI will receive, tag, store bags from the start areas, transport them to the finish area at Mall of Asia (MOA) and distribute them to the rightful owners. Close to 70,000 bags are expected to be deposited and 500 to 600 people needed to man CTSI booths and counters.

The event is in line with CTSI’s Going Green initiatives.

The goal of the 10.10.10 Run for the Pasig River is the rehabilitation of the Pasig River and its tributaries. It is organized by the Kapit Bisig Para sa Ilog Pasig, a river rehabilitation project of ABS-CBN Foundation, Inc, in partnership with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources through Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission, local government units and agencies, non-government organizations, private corporations, and the public.

The race aims to bring together 120,000 runners and aims to beat a Guinness World Record for the largest foot race in the world, the San Francisco Bay Breakers with 110,000 runners.

As of last count, 104,000 have already confirmed their participation.

The race will have three start areas (MOA grounds for 3K, CCP grounds for 5K and in front of Manila Peninsula for 10K) instead of the usual starting area at one place.
