BACKGROUND

UPAAA's Fitness Challenge was initially conceived by UPAAA in 2020 while we were isolated during the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal was to keep us all fit, engaging in any form of physical activity and having fun: a challenge for everyone, of all ages and abilities.  At the same time, it gave us a chance to be a Home Hero, to pledge and raise funds for UPAAA's charity projects, especially the UP Scholarship Fund. After its successful launch which benefited many needy students in U.P., we are bringing back this worthwhile project.

For 2024, we will hold a 5K Run or Walk, both in-person and virtual. We entice everyone to participate, whether by yourself or with your family, with your friends or even so, or with your UPAAA chapter and affiliate organizations, acting as one healthy community of charitable UP alumni, wherever you may be. The U.P. Spirit lives on!
