The Mikel Lovina Jamborun, now in its 13th year, is an annual fundraising event held in memory of our beloved sportsman, son, brother, cousin, and friend, Mikel Lovina, who tragically passed away in a car accident at the age of 18. Each year, Mikel’s family and friends run a distance corresponding to the number of years since his passing.

This year, we will run 28 kilometers, but you are welcome to run any distance.

Join us in making every kilometer count! Proceeds from this event will support the Negrense Volunteers for Change Foundation’s Mingo Nutrition Program, helping to provide meals for undernourished children in the Philippines.

For every kilometer you run, a child will be fed. Thanks to our generous sponsors, 1 kilometer = 1 Mingo Meal.

The more kilometers we run, the more children we can help.

Dates: January 25-26, 2024

Location: Anywhere

Safety Reminder: Minors must be accompanied by an adult. Stay safe and enjoy running with purpose!
