Carcar Kagumgum Runners group has probably busy weekends in a row. They help in organizing an upcoming run, 1st Perrelos Purok 2 Run, this coming Saturday. But NOTE that please contact them before you join the run as this is not totally open for the public. It’s meant for for the local Carcar residents. Details of 1st Perrelos Purok 2 Run here >>.
And the previous weekend (April 14, 2013), they were also supporting the “Halad ni Leon Kilat 42KM.” CUC’s President Tony Galon spearheaded in organizing the event this year. This marathon, which honors Leon Kilat, started back in 2011 by the hero’s big fan, Max Limpag. A detailed story about Leon Kilat, and how this “marathon” started at Ceburunning.com here >>. Just like the first version of the run, this event is not announced publicly but everyone is welcome to run along with them. It was more of a by-invitation event. Hopefully, this will be publicly open in the following
year?!? =) Jack Labajo of Talisay City Runners Club (TCRC) was the champion for arriving first at the finish line, which was the monument of Leon Kilat, near the Municipal Hall of Carcar.

Medellin is sometimes overlooked as a destination probably because of Daan Bantayan, where most people head to for the Daan Bantayan Island beaches.
Following are some activities / places you can do while you’re in Medellin:
MEDELLIN HIDEAWAY
Medellin is not to be left behind as they also have zipline. You can zipline and more at Medellin Hideaway, the name of the beach resort. For more information about Medellin Hideaway, check My Cebu Photo Blog’s A Day in Medellin post here >>.
