Dueños 2011: Running in the “Casathon” Casa de Campo’s mini-marathon!

This post is also available in:

By 8.30am on Saturday the 5th of November, a crowd of eager Casa de Campo villa owners had gathered at the entrance to Playa Minitas in preparation for the Casa de Campo mini-marathon, the Dueños 2011 Casathon! 

And they’re off!!

By 9am, the group of 25 Casa de Campo villa owners and their families were raring to go and on the signal of Arquimedes de Jesus everyone set off at a run with great enthusiasm! With a relatively small group of competitors taking part this year, the atmosphere was definitely much more competitive than it has been in the past, with everyone actually running the full 5km course – determined to compete for a place in the top three! The results of the Casathon, Casa de Campo marathon are:

Men’s Category

Senior Division (over 35) 1st place: José Edgar Almonte 2nd place: Cesar R. Molina       3rd place: Simone Rosati

Adults Division (under 35) 1st place: Moisés Ramírez 2nd place: Héctor David Ruiz      3rd place: Olivier Castillo Youth Division (under 18) 1st place: 2nd place: Derek Cau 3rd place: Vinny Gomez

Women’s Category Adult Division 1st place: Yadira Lama de Bournigal 2nd place: Ma. Alexia  Selman      3rd place: Gina Piantini de Schiffino Youth Division (under 18) 1st place: Leticia Coudray     2nd place: María I. Peña    3rd place: Adriana Jiménez

This year, unlike in 2009, I decided not to actually take part in the race – so that I could take photos of the competitors finishing the race and also because I hate running! So here (thanks to my laziness), here are my photos of the competitors finishing the race and receiving their trophies during the awards ceremony which took place immediately after the race.

Congratulations to all who took part! P.S The photo of me crossing the finishing line was staged for fun!
