My Second Race Run (Liloan Dagan Hinungdan 2025)

Last August 2025, I joined my second official run at the Liloan Dagan Hinungdan 2025. Unlike my first fun run, this time I joined the 5km race category with a different goal in mind. I wanted to test myself, push harder, and aim for my personal best. The atmosphere was competitive yet supportive, with runners of all ages ready to give their best. As the race began, I felt the adrenaline rush pushing me forward with each stride.

Running 5km may sound shorter compared to my first 12km run, but the intensity was on a whole new level. I kept my focus steady, managed my breathing, and tried to maintain a strong pace throughout the course. Every step was about consistency, determination, and the will to keep going faster. There were moments when fatigue kicked in, but I reminded myself of the goal I had set. The excitement of chasing my personal best gave me the drive to push past the challenge.

Crossing the finish line was one of the most rewarding moments I’ve experienced. I didn’t just complete the run I managed to secure 4th place overall, which felt amazing for my second official race. Achieving that result showed me how much I had improved since my first run. It gave me confidence that with more training and discipline, I can aim even higher in future races. This experience motivated me to keep running, keep improving, and enjoy every milestone along the journey.
