PAREF Springdale’s Titans Run 2023: Glow in the Dark draws 2,000 participants

More than 2,000 runners, adults and kids, joined the Titans Run 2023: Glow in the Dark held at Mandani Bay last Sunday, March 12, 2023.

 Organized by the PAREF Springdale School Inc. in cooperation with the Student Body Organization and the 3rd Grade Parents, the fun run gave the opportunity for bonding to the families who came as early as 4 p.m. although the start of the first race, the 10K, was scheduled the start at 6:30 p.m.

 The parents and grandparents were mostly seated in front of the stage prepared by InternationalPharmaceuticals, Inc. (IPI) while the children were having fun running around the open area.

Various booths of sponsors were selling snacks items, rice meals and drinks while another sponsor gave out free doughnuts.

 After a few entertainment numbers such as songs by bands and dance numbers of students,  Zumba instructors led the warm-up exercises for the runners, preparing them for the fun run.

 The runners were wearing glow-in-the-dark accessories such as glow sticks and crowns which results in a colorful array of runners when the fun run started at 6:45 pm for the 10K race. The rest of the races followed every 15 minutes one after the other.

 Fathers and mothers running with their small kids and the older kids who were clearly enjoying the moment.

 This year’s fun run, an annual event for the school, gathered more than 2,000, including parents and their kids to join either of the five races. Aside from the 10K race, the other races were 5K, 3K, Dad and Son for the 3K and 1K.

 The winners for the 10K Male are Andrew Kim Remolino who came in first at 31.48 minutes followed by Leonard Kiplangat Kemboi (32.24 mins) and Matthew Justine Hermosa (32.54 mins).

 For the 10K female category, the winners are Artjoy Torregosa (37.59 mins), Cherry Andrin (39.56 mins) and Hazel Caraballe (53.10 mins).

 The 5K Run Male winners are Mark Kevin Revilla (17.14 minutes), followed closely by Joseph Arner Elnia (17.18 mins) with Eugene Sebello (18.17 mins).
