My Story…

I am a big supporter of this event because it was the first 10K race I ran after the passing of my beautiful grandmother, Judith Payuran, and my aunty, Loren Pallera. It has become even more meaningful to me after the passing of my great-grandfather, Rudy Pallera, last year. I first participated in this event in 2024, inspired and motivated to make my grandmother proud as she looked down on me and gave me strength from above. Coincidentally, I ended up being one of the runners featured in the advertisement cover photo for the same race the following year in 2025. This race is for those who are no longer physically with us, but who remain with us in spirit, giving us the mana — the energy — to accomplish our goals. Running is not meant to be easy, but crossing the finish line, regardless of the time, is an amazing feeling. And of course, drinking a bottle of water afterward feels pretty great too. Lol. Thank you for your support.
