Mens sana in corpore sano, a sound mind in a sound body. To promote this Latin quote from the Roman poet Juvenal, a Fun Run spearheaded by the Integrated Bar of the Philippines, Marinduque Chapter and the Rotary Club of Marinduque North was held last February 26 in Boac.
The said friendly race that attracted hundreds of fun-runners from all ages started at 5:30 am from the Boac Covered Court, covering the provincial capitol grounds and back. It was evident that the participants took part more for their personal enjoyment rather than for the competition.
Dubbed "Marinduque Run for a Cause 2011", cash prizes and medals were awarded to 3K winners, while 1K winners received medals. Congressman Lord Allan Jay Q. Velasco led the participants that included students from local high schools and colleges, the business community, the local police, private orgs such as Marinduque Copper Queen, Inc., Marinduque Flying Squad Riders and sports enhusiasts of all ages.
