Today was not just a regular Sunday it was a day filled with sweat, smiles, and superpowers. 🌟 I’m still buzzing with energy from this morning’s Ateneo Superheroes Run 2025, held at SM City Davao, Ecoland. But this wasn’t just any run it was a 3KM Family Run we joined with Elaiza’s whole family, and let me tell you, it was supercharged in every possible way!
We weren’t just running for fun we were running for a cause. This event was organized to benefit the Anak Kaugmaon Foundation 2025, a beautiful initiative that supports children’s education and wellbeing. Knowing that each step we took contributed to something greater made the run feel even more meaningful. ❤️👟
🦸♂️ The Gathering of Superheroes
We arrived at the venue early, and the atmosphere was electric. Families, friends, students, alumni you name it they were all there, dressed in vibrant colors, superhero capes flying, and excitement buzzing in the air. Some came as Wonder Woman, others as Spider-Man, and a few little Batmen ran circles around us while warming up!
And us? We came dressed not just as runners but as family heroes. ❤️👨👩👧👦

🚦And We're Off!
At the sound of the gunshot, we were off!
Our pace? Light and playful. We weren’t aiming to beat records we were there to bond, to laugh, and to breathe in the moment together. Elaiza’s mom cracked a joke before we hit the 1KM mark, and the entire group giggled all the way past the second water station. Her dad, surprisingly competitive, picked up the pace, and the rest of us scrambled to catch up. 😄
I found myself marveling at how this simple run turned into a celebration of unity. The sun gently rising over Davao, our matching race bibs fluttering, and the chatter of hundreds of other runners it was the kind of memory you knowyou'll keep forever.
🌈 The Finish Line & Feels
Crossing the finish line wasn’t just about completing the 3KM it felt like we conquered a challenge together. We cheered, hugged, took dozens of photos, and grabbed our finisher's freebies with giddy pride.
Elaiza and I had this little moment sweaty, smiling, and proud where we just looked at each other and laughed. Because yes, we were tired. But oh my goodness, we were alive.
“It’s not the finish line that matters. It’s having the courage to start.”
💭 Reflections and Realizations
Today reminded me of three things:
Running is more than a sport it’s a connection. Whether it’s with strangers, friends, or family, you feel part of something bigger.
Doing things for a cause fuels the heart. Supporting Anak Kaugmaon Foundation added soul to every step.
Family runs are unbeatable. The laughter, the teasing, the small wins they stay with you long after your legs stop aching.

So here’s to more Sundays like this full of movement, love, and purpose.
Thank you, Ateneo Superheroes Run 2025, for not just organizing a fun event but for reminding us what it means to be heroes in our own small ways. Until the next run! 🏃♀️🏃♂️💨
“Every step we take together is a step toward a stronger bond, a healthier body, and a brighter world.”
