The race gun was fired a bit late. Blame it on the rain. The early morning shower, however, did not dampen the spirits of enthusiastic runners at last Sunday's Fair Trade 2010 Run. Fair Trade advocates better trading conditions and the payment of higher prices to producers in developing countries such as the Philippines. The run-for-a-cause started at Asiatown IT Park in Lahug and proceeded to the streets of Salinas, Gorordo, Escario and Osmeña streets and back.
The crowd was a mix of sports buffs, volunteers, runners by different professions and a few celebrities. And the fun part - the event lived up to its promise. Food and water flowed in abundance. As an additional treat, some prizes were raffled off and lucky me, I went home with a candle-holder made of recycled materials, not bad.
