due to the down pour. Even the down pour was present, runners start to come and
everybody was anxious to start the first ever rainy fun run. Some saw the
signage and registered for the ultimate fun run ever.
It started with a warm-up tae bo exercise lead by our every
own ICER staff and tae bo guru, Ms. Ritchelyn Altura. And opening remarks from
