Go
Natural 2012 – “A Run For Early Child Diabetes Education” is the opening salvo
of RunRio for the year 2012. The event
was held today 15Jan12 at Bonifacio Global City (BGC) covering 21/10/5/3 km
categories.
As
what can now be expected from RunRio the event was not only well attended by
the local running community it was as well organized race with lot activities
offered to all runners after their race events. Congratulations to RunRio and
sponsors Go Natural.
Normally
after crossing the finish line I proceed to my car and go home immediately,
however, as it was still early and with the sun still low in the horizon, I did
a walkabout in the activity grounds of the race event. The giveaways to all the
participants were well managed in its distribution. There were many sponsors activity
booths that can be visited by the runners. One outstanding and striking set-up
that I wish to commend RunRio was the installation of a row of TRASH BINS that
were very visible and usable by all persons in the activity area to ensure that
cleanliness and proper disposal of trash is handled. Great job to the
organizers for environmentally sensitive.
There
were really a lot a activities going about simultaneously and another very striking
event was a rock band playing with all gusto to the delight of the crowd. The
band was playing well and I wanted to ask somebody their name but felt ashame
to do so. Anyways, whoever you are guys your music was good.
One
minor fault I noticed during the race was the installation of the distance
marker for 10km located at Rizal Avenue where it indicates that 10km runners
have still 3 km to go. Somebody made a booboo where it was placed as just 50
meters after you have another sign that 10km runners have completed 8 km. While
it is very minor fault maybe somebody should check isignages are correctly
placed by utility personnels to wher they should be as error on their part could
tarnish the good name of the organizer.
I
completed my 10km event in an unofficial time of 01h11m55s another great Sunday
hugging the roads.
