Our 15th Fitness run was held on the 25th of January. It was organised by the year 11s with the theme of animals. There were obstacles representing each animal to raise awareness of the endangered animals.

The first obstacle was going through the huddles with some poachers throwing balls at the runners. This was carried out by the orang-utan group which represented how they suffer from the poachers.

The second obstacle was by the birds group, where the runners had to slide down a slippery mat. This represented the first flight of baby birds. Soap water on the mat helped them slide further.

The third obstacle was by the tigers where there was a mini jungle made. Runners had to go through the jungle with the disturbance of leaves and some pits. The runners also had to crawl to pass a net maze which represented the hunting of tigers.

All students from kindergarten to Year 11s participated in this event. Some kindergarten students didn't know the direction to run, so we had to run with them. We were laughing at how cute they were and all of them answered that they definitely enjoyed this run,

We started shooting water guns at the runners and each other which made us soaking wet, but as it was really hot, it helped us be cool and some even wanted water on them. I had to change twice because my friends kept on throwing the whole bucket of water to me. It made me freezing cold although the sun was shining brightly and others were sweating.

It was a memorable and enjoyable run. Luckily no one got injured and the event was closed successfully. Setting obstacles up and cleaning them were quite tiring and annoying, but we felt proud of ourselves and were satisfied looking at others enjoying the event.

We really look forward to the next event, sports day which will be next month and we hope it would be as exciting as the fitness run we just finished.
