The local government of Los Banos is preparing for “Banamos Fun Run 2013” to be held on September 21 as part of the celebration of Banamos Festival this month.

The run is divided into four categories: 3 km, 5 km, 10 km, and 15 km. The planned route starts from the new LB municipal hall in Barangay Timugan and ends at the University of the Philippines Open University in Barangay Maahas.

Registration is Php 200 for the first two categories, and Php 300 for the last two. Councilor Jonjie Oliva, project head, said that proceeds will benefit the scholars of the municipal government of Los Banos.

“This event will not only benefit our scholars but will also promote brotherhood and friendly competition among citizens of Los Banos,” said Renee-vic Villanueva, legislative staff of Councilor Oliva.

Cash prizes await top finishers: Php 3,000 for the first placer; Php 2,000 for the second placer; and Php1,000 for the third placer. Interested runners may register at the office of Councilor Oliva until August 31. (with reports from Earl Gio Manuel)
