With every kilometer bringing them closer to their goals, participants embodied the event’s commitment to health, wellness, and community engagement.
After crossing the finish line, runners joined a cool-down Zumba session led by Coach Jaymie Obinguar to help stabilize their bodies and heart rates. To cap off the celebration, participants gathered at the Wilcon-themed Race Village, where snacks, refreshments, and fun activities as well as loots, awaited as a reward for their achievement and perseverance.
