TAKBU’TO is a 3K, 5K and 10K fun run and 1.5K fun walk at McKinley Hill. The proponent of the event is the Philippine Orthopaedic Association Foundation Inc. (POAFI). It is the charitable arm of the Philippine Orthopaedic Association (POA) that provides grants for continuing education of its members, as well as supports scientific research initiatives.
