Cebu City, Philippines — The spirit of solidarity and compassion shone brightly at Dubby’s, the main hub and home of the Philippine Accessible Disability Services (PADS), as 2KCares, the alumni-led initiative of Sacred Heart School – Ateneo de Cebu, successfully turned over the proceeds from the recently concluded St. Ignatius Run. Holding the event at Dubby’s was especially meaningful, as it served as the gathering place of the beneficiaries who were united in joy and gratitude.

The proceeds funded the purchase of 60 brand-new wheelchairs and 30 brand-new pairs of crutches, granting mobility and dignity to many of our brothers and sisters with disabilities.

The turnover was deeply emotional as several PWD beneficiaries shared their heartfelt gratitude. For many, it was their very first time to own a wheelchair—no longer having to borrow one from others. Tears of joy and thankfulness filled the venue as their long-awaited dreams of independence finally came true.

“Naa na koy kaugalingong wheelchair. Dili na ko manghulam — dako kaayo kini’g kausaban sa akong kinabuhi.”

Beyond individual beneficiaries, the initiative also extended its reach to the broader community. Extra wheelchairs were donated to the Mandaue District Hospital to help aid earthquake victims who are in urgent need of mobility assistance.

From the gun starts to the awarding ceremonies, the event was filled with energy and smiles. Families came together, students and teachers proudly joined the course, and parents cheered on their children, all in the spirit of running not just for themselves, but for a cause. One of the most heartwarming sights was seeing students and participants dancing in unison during the Zumba warm-up, sharing laughter and energy as one community.

Critical to the success of the event was its top-notch safety and security. Marshals, medical personnel, and volunteers were stationed across the route, ensuring the welfare of every participant. Hydration stations were strategically positioned and fully stocked, meeting international race standards. Medical teams were on standby and ready to respond at all times, providing peace of mind to runners and supporters alike.

To make the experience even more memorable, runners enjoyed free medal engraving, access to an official photo booth, and the opportunity to personalize their race experience through the “What Are You Running For?” Reflection Wall.

These efforts reflect our unwavering commitment to the Ignatian value of being “men and women for others.” For the organizers, giving back is not optional. It is at the very heart of what we do. The St. Ignatius Run 25 was not just a sporting event, but a movement of compassion, solidarity, and service.

St. Ignatius Run 25 Clarifies Post-Race Meal Choice: A Healthier Approach for Runners

Cebu City, Philippines, September 28, 2025

The St. Ignatius Run 25: RE:UNITE NATION concluded with thousands of runners coming together in unity, fitness, and celebration. From the early morning gun starts to the awarding and festival activities, the event was a resounding success in bringing the community together for wellness, camaraderie, and purpose.

However, we also recognize the feedback regarding the post-race meal served after the run. Our chosen meal: bread, banana, and egg was designed with runners’ health in mind. The intention was to provide a nutrient-dense, light, and easily digestible breakfast that aligns with medical and sports nutrition recommendations after endurance activities.

According to medical nutrition experts, the first meal after a long run should be light yet rich in carbohydrates and protein to quickly replenish glycogen stores and support muscle recovery. Foods like bread and banana are excellent sources of easy-to-digest carbs and potassium, while egg provides a clean protein source without heavy fats. These were deliberately chosen over fried or oily alternatives to avoid slowing down the body’s recovery process.

As outlined by a Medical Nutrition Doctor’s guide:

•Hydration comes first: Runners need fluids and electrolytes, which were available at the finish line through Pocari Sweat stations.
•Gentle refueling: Bread and banana are ideal to restart the digestive system and restore energy.
•Protein boost: Egg supports muscle repair without the excess fat that greasy meals contain.

While some participants may have expected a heavier traditional Filipino breakfast, we stand by our intention to encourage healthier recovery habits after endurance events. We also acknowledge the passion of our community and value the feedback shared.

We thank everyone who ran, volunteered, and supported St. Ignatius Run 25. Your energy and unity made this event truly unforgettable, and we remain committed to wellness, service, and community-building.

Daghang salamat, Cebu. See you at the next run — padayon!
