Last December 18, 2011 at 5: 30 in the morning a
fun run activity was held in Minglanilla. This was the second fun run held in Minglanilla with the theme ”Dagan Ko, Kaayuhan Mo 2”. The starting point for the run was at Plaza Maria going to Tagaytay and back to Plaza Maria for the 3K runners. For the 5k from Plaza Maria to Ugoy then back to Plaza Maria. I was one of the runners running with the 3K category.
The registration fee for 5k was P100.00 without singlet; P200.00 with singlet and for 3K P50.00 with singlet and P150.00 with singlet. The fun run was planned to help raise fund for an activity called “Pangindahay Sa Pasko”, which is intended for our indigent brothers and sisters make their
Christmas wishes come true. The Fun Run is designed not only for participants to have fun and to run for health but also to share a small donation.
The event started with a prayer lead by one of the Minglanilla priest Rev. Fr. Oscar Ornopia who was also a runner in the event.

Then followed by a warm up which was helpful to reduce the chance of injury after or on the run.

Something I learn during the event was, don’t shoot and run. I brought my DSLR cam hoping that I could shoot during running but I ended up with blurred shots due to shaky hands and causing a little bit delayed in running.
After almost one hour of running, walking, crawling and riding all the participants have gone to the finish line.
It's not how fast you end the race but how you endure to end the race. But then these are the runners who excel and finish the race fast.
