Race #18: Run for Future Doctors

Race #18
ScholaRun
August 6, 2011
5K
Davao Medical School Foundation
Davao City

While I was going through training for an upcoming race in mid-August, I joined a race dubbed “ScholaRun” near our village. This was a charity run with no singlet, just a bib with refreshments to be provided afterwards. The cause it was supporting was a scholarship fund for future doctors. I think it’s a great cause, and I was going to run anyways so why not help them out?


This was just a simple route from their school (DMSF) at the top of the hill to J.P. Laurel area. There was some downhill at the start then going uphill at the finish, but aside from that this was just a regular routine run for me.

For a small community-type event, this run drew decent support. I even saw some of my former classmates and schoolmates from high school. I salute you guys for taking a tough road ahead not in running, but in becoming future doctors someday. Best of luck to you all.
