NU CEBU BULLDOGS RUN 125

Celebrating 125 Years of National University, Philippines with its Flagship SDG-Driven Innovation for Community Wellness, Education Access, and Multi-Sector Partnerships.

The NU Cebu Bulldogs Run 125, co-presented by the SM City Cebu and the Mabolo PS4 Advisory Group, is a landmark fun run celebrating the 125th Founding Anniversary of National University, Philippines.

This signature event brings together NU students, alumni, partners, and the general Cebuano community for a morning of health, unity, and social purpose, with proceeds directly benefiting NU Cebu scholars and NU Cebu's community projects in Cebu and other targeted Vis-Min communities.

Designed as a replicable, SDG-aligned model that integrates wellness (SDG 3), equitable access to education through scholarships (SDG 4), and multi-sector collaboration (SDG 17), its innovative 75/25 proceeds allocation and mall-anchored, tech-enabled operations prioritize safety, inclusivity, and cost-effectiveness.

Equally important, this project is NU Cebu's very 1s fun run, adding to its history as it marks its 1st academic year in the Queen City of the South!
