“Mens sana in corpora sano – A healthy mind in a healthy body” This is what the UP College of Law hopes to achieve with “The Dean’s Cup: the 1st UP Law Invitational Triathlon and Fun Run. Swim, Bike Run for Peace based on Justice.”
The event is also about breaking stereotypes since the sponsors of the event are the 3 fraternities in the college, namely: Alpha Phi Beta, Sigma Rho, and the Upsilon Sigma Phi.
In a rare opportunity, the 3 fraternities are coming together to mount what may be one of the most exciting sporting events as they pit the best of the best from their resident and alumni members in a sprint triathlon which consists of a 750m swim, 20km bike and 5km run.
Champions will be declared for both the individual and relay category, whose names will be engraved in the first ever UP Law Dean’s Cup.Apart from the invitational triathlon, the College of Law will also have a 2.2km children’s walk, 5- and 10km fun run which will be sponsored by the UP Law Class of 1984. Lawyers, law students, faculty, admin and staff will be encouraged to bring their families to enjoy their Sunday morning at the College.
The regular runners, joggers and walkers at UP will expect to see something different as the participants of the 2.2k walk will be in costume. Special awards await those who will come in the most exciting, intriguing, creative and unusual costumes.
There is also much to look forward to with the 5k and 10k run. Participants will determine which is indeed the better sex as the male and female categories have been eliminated. As the saying goes, “all are equal under the eyes of the law.”
There will however be special categories to make the event more exciting for the participants. The Dean has identified the following categories: alumni, faculty, admin and staff, student, fraternity-member.
A special prize also awaits the most determined participant.To make the event a truly memorable experience, special singlets have been designed by BOTAK for members of the UP Law Community, apart from the singlets to be distributed to those who register for the event. Also, participants may also decide to upgrade their singlet to the high quality UP Collectors’ Item singlet for only an additional P200.
In law, it also pays to be early. All those who register within the month of July will get as much as P150 off their registration. If they register within the first two weeks of August, they will receive P100 off their registration. Regular registration rates of P350 will be from August 16 onwards.
