Half of the year has already gone and is now in the books. The Vitalified Sports Team didn’t wait for long to kick off the 2nd half of 2023 and get into full swing!

With windmills as witnesses, two of our own coaches finished in the Top 5 of the Run With The Wind event in Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte on Saturday, July 1. Coach Rex Abian placed second in the male 8K category, with a time of 44:57:59. Our head honcho, Coach Michael Masirag, was just a few minutes away and landed in fourth place, clocking in at 46:18:58.

The following day, in Clark, Pampanga, CoachAlvin Capulong crossed the finish line in 10th place at 5:46:00 in the grueling 50K race of the Cabalen Ultramarathon in Clark, Pampanga. Rhon Uzumaki also participated in the 50K run, and Jay-pee Inciso in the 25K run.

Coach Alvin also joined the AIA Vitality Cabalen Half Marathon on June 25, also in Clark.

Wrapping up this past weekend’s events were six racers who took part in the lively Lazada Run at SM Mall of Asia on Sunday.

Four ran a half-marathon: Kerwin Jonathan Refe, Louise Dictado, Jep Castillo, and Rionell Buencamino, who added a feather in his cap when he won the Longest Plank Challenge in the male category.

Joh Joyous Soriano ran in the 10K category, while Eleazar Aquino completed the 5K run.
