PAF 65th Anniversary Run


First, let me congratulate the men and women of the Philippine Air Force of the Armed Forces of the Philippines in their 65th anniversary!


A salute to the airmen for successfully staging their Anniversary Run dubbed as “ Takbo Para sa Karunungan, Kinabukasan ng Kabataan,” a fund-raising event for the children of the enlisted personnel of the Philippine Air Force who died or incapacitated in the line of duty.

The Race
Swthrt and I arrived at the venue, Mc Kinley Hill in Forth Bonifacio, to register on-site. We met with Gigi (huggingfit mum) and Bards (banana running) who also had to register on-site.

It’s been a long time since we raced at Mc Kinley Hill. Swthrt and I registered for the 5K category while Gi and Bards registered for the 10K. The race course proved to be challenging as they have set the start and finish arch in an elevated road.





Post race presentation and awarding of medals

The NAMRIA Running Club also participated in the event. Here are some of our runners from our Hydrography Department in Binondo, Manila.





The PAF Marching Band had a presentation before the awarding of medals for the winners.

  






Awards were given to the fastest runners in each category.





A fly-by helicopter poured confetti at the venue.




It was a fun-filled experience for everyone!


After the race, the four of us went to McDo for breakfast!



Congratulations to the PAF Officer’s Ladies Club and to Coach Joar!
