This week’s Ungo Run will be timed with the Midnight Run on Saturday night. While the run will start at midnight, Ungo Runners will meet two hours earlier, at 10 p.m. at the venue in the City Sports Club to discuss updates on our Christmas party on Dec. 19 and to pick new names for our manito-manita.

Ungo Runners who can’t attend are requested to arrange for someone to drop their names and to pick names for them.

Ungo Runners are asked to wear their Ungo Shirts for the run. If you have the black shirt with reflectorized print, please wear it. Please feel free to run in costumes, organizers will be handing out a prize for the runners wearing the best costumes.

Registration for the Midnight Run is still ongoing in Runnr. But Ungo Runners can register using the form below and just pay at the venue. Please register ASAP so that I can submit the names to the race organizer later today. Thanks and see you!

CebuRunning among 20 finalists in Best Cebu Blogs Award

The CebuRunning website is one of this year’s 20 finalists in the Best Cebu Blogs Award. I never thought the site would be included in the lists of finalists because the nomination, which involved asking people to like your entry in Facebook, happened in the weeks leading to the 1st Cebu Ultramarathon.

Training to run 50 kilometers left no time to mount a Facebook campaign.

Fortunately, my wife and CebuRunning co-founder Marlen and die-hard Ungo Runners asked enough people to “like” CebuRunning to help make it to the finals. Marlen and I weren’t able to promote well in Facebook her MyCebu.ph website, which we just started last month. I thought MyCebu.ph deserved the finals slot more and stood a better chance than CebuRunning. But, there is always next year.

To all those who “liked” CebuRunning’s entry in the Facebook page of Best Cebu Blogs Award, thank you for sending us to the finals.
