Senator Pia Cayetano will lead a cast of 1,800 today in the Araw ng Dabaw Run which fires off on an out and back course at the Gaisano Mall.
The beauteous running lawmaker, who has championed the advocacy on healthy living, environment and women, will add today’s race to her running mileage which includes stints in international races around the world and a host of regular races organized by her Pinay In Action (PIA) program.
Today’s race is also held under the auspices of Pinay In Action.
But more than her running prowess, the lady Senator will once again carry the message for women empowerment and healthy living which has made her the running icon for such advocacies.
It will be the second time in two years for Senator Pia to see action in Davao. In January last year, she brought her annual Bike For Hope fun ride to the city where she pedalled along with 750 other riders in a 90-kilometer ride stretching from Davao to Tagum City via Panabo, Sto. Tomas and Kapalong in Davao del Norte.
Despite her hectic campaign sorties as a reelectionist Senator, she takes a break from the election trail for a fine weekend workout.
The Araw ng Dabaw Run includes 3-kilometer race for kids along with the regular 5-K and the premier 10-K race. Participants from the Kidapawan, Tagum City and Digos City will join regular running enthusiasts from Davao in today’s race as part of the celebration of the 73rd Araw ng Dabaw. (NJB)
