DirectRooms.com - Aruba Hosts 10K Run to Raise Vital Funds for Aruban Charities on 4 September 2011

    PHUKET, THAILAND, July 12, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The 10K Turibana to Santa Cruz run will stretch from Noord's Panaderia del Campo and along open roads to the finish at the sports centre Compleho Deportivo Betico Croes. To be able to take part entries are being accepted on 1st August until race day which falls on 4th September 2011.

The race is open to male and female runners and competitors don't have to be in peak physical condition as the event is seen as a way to get into long distance running. The race will start at 05:30 to avoid the midday heat and runners are free to raise sponsorship money in aid of local non-profit organisations.

Charities include the donkey sanctuary which is run by volunteers and helps to care for nearly 100 donkeys. The sanctuary was created as many of the animals were left abandoned after cars replaced them as the main form of transport and today is only supported by donations as it doesn't even charge visitors for entry.

Other organisations are the Environmental Committee which runs projects to ensure the coastal areas and coral reefs are kept clean and free from litter which can harm marine life.

Lek Boonlert, marketing head at DirectRooms.com, commented: "As more runners book into cheap Palm Beach hotels to take part and help the charities some locations may be left without vacancies."
