STOP SMOKING, START RUNNING. Running is one of the best ways  to help you quit smoking.

Stop smoking, start running. That's the theme of tonight's Ungo Friday Night Run that will start at The Active Zone in Ayala Center Cebu. Dubbed as 'Ungo Run' ~ "Ungo" means in the local language as Monster or relates to Night time.

Organizers are inviting non-runners, newbies, seasoned runners and smokers who've long wanted to quit the habit to attend the event, which is free and open to everyone. The event is organized by the Ungo Runners, a group that runs every Friday night on the streets of Cebu City.

Businessman and runner Richard Ho is scheduled to talk about his personal experience in kicking a smoking habit and starting and keeping a running habit.

Dr. John Clifford Aranas, an ultra-marathoner, will talk about the clinical aspect of smoking.

After their talk, the group will walk and run five kilometers inside the Cebu Business Park and finish at the Asiatown IT Park.

The Ungo Friday Night Run is open to the public. Those who want to join can just go to The Active Zone in Ayala Center Cebu at 9 p.m. tonight.
