It was as early as 3:30 in the morning when I joined in fastening tarpaulin guides all over the race route. The council had already been busy and some even didn’t sleep in preparation for yet another first in the history of Engineering happening at the college centennial – Eng’gfinity!
Eng’gfinity is the UP Diliman College of Engineering’s first-ever run with more than 400 registrants coming from the 8 departments and institutes of the Engineering as well as alumni and those frequent runners outside UP who visited the university for the fun run. The centennial race has three divisions – 2.2K circumferencing the famous Academic Oval, the 5K and the 10K.
Not just the overwhelming attendance, Eng’gfinity is also boasting its RFID shoe tag provided by Itemhound which is capable of timing each runner’s lapse and providing the results few minutes after the runner has checked out.
Eng’gfinity is one of the events of the centennial Engineering Cup. Part of the proceeds from the run will go to PhoenICs, a rehabilitation program of the university’s Institute of Chemistry wherein its pavilion met a fire accident few months ago. Eng’gfinity is proudly presented by the Engineering Student Council, Canon, P&G, Chris Sports, 100 Plus, Hotel Sogo, Sanuk, Itemhound and UP Health Service.
I captured some of the sweat and sweet smiles of the runners which only show that Eng’gfinity was a great success and enjoyment from infinity and beyond!
For the complete set of pictures, watch it out from my Facebook and Multiply accounts. UPDATE: It is now uploaded here! The results of the Eng’gfinity can be downloaded here.
P.S. I saw my Math 54 seatmate ran. The lens caught her smile. She’s so pretty, I’m gonna die!
