MARK your running calendar for a unique event this April — Lapu-Lapu City will host the country’s first midnight beer run as part of the celebration of Lapu-Lapu’s victory over Magellan. What’s a victory celebration without a little drinking, right?
Lapu-Lapu City Councilor Harry Radaza said the 2012 Kadaugan Street Party Midnight Beer Run will be the highlight of this year’s street party to mark the Kadaugan sa Mactan, the city’s annual celebration of its namesake’s victory over Spanish colonizers on April 27, 1521.

The race will have beer stations instead of regular water stations that will serve cold beer on cups. As soon as runners cross the finish line, they will be offered a bottle of beer and a shot of hard drink.
