NAMRIA officials and employees joined the 115th Philippine Civil Service Anniversary fun run held at the Quirino Grandstand, Manila on 12 September 2015.  The event dubbed as “R.A.C.E. to Serve 5 Fun Run: Responsive, Accessible, Courteous, and Effective Public Service”  with the theme, “Kayang Kaya Mo, Lingkod Bayani!” aimed to promote, showcase, and celebrate heroism in public service; and to highlight stories of triumph and sacrifice among the men and women in the government. 

The proceeds of the fun run were turned over to the Pondong Pamanang Lingkod Bayani Program, that  pays tribute to the public officials and employees who died during the performance or pursuit of functions, duties, and responsibilities.
