Race #14: Chinese Run

Race #14

Republic of China Centennial Run

July 17, 2011

5K

Davao Central High School Compound

Davao City

This is another fun run at Davao Central High School… well, seeing how the theme is Republic of China Centennial celebration, you can’t have a place more fitting to host it than Davao Central (its former name by the way is Davao Chinese High School, which might explain things ^_^).

The route was from Sta. Ana Avenue to Bajada street ~ already my typical race route. My friends and I ran in different categories for this race. Ryan went on ahead on his 10K run, while I ran the 5K. My friend Gil, who officially joined his first run, signed up for the 3K. Yet he still ran the full 5K distance. Way to go!


I also met one of my classmates, Alex, from Japanese language class. One of the great thing in fun runs is that you also get to meet old and new faces in a different environment from where you knew them. :)

This was also the first run that we stayed and hoped that we would win at least one of the raffle prizes. With TVs, appliances, and trips to Singapore up at grabs, maybe it was worth waiting. Needless to say, we didn’t. At least we got a great workout out of our early morning.

And look we each even got a diploma... If all finisher's certificates were as nice as this, I would collect them more often!
