Zumba vs. Body Jam in Fitness First Philippines

At first, I was horrified. A 2.2km loop. From 6, 12, 24 or 36 hours, run as many loops as you can. It sounded like torture. Who would subject themselves to that? Moreover, the event is called Fat Ass.
It took a while before I understood the fun of it. The Fat Ass run is scheduled after New Year, when it’s assumed that people have over-indulged and feeling a bit “fat.” Although it can be as long as 36 hours, no one is required to run throughout the whole scheduled time frame that he’s chosen. At any time, the participant can stop — to rest, drink (even alcoholic beverages), eat (that includes rice and viand), chat (even at the top of their voices), sleep (you can set up tents and sleeping bags), or shower (comfort and shower rooms are available) — then resume running whenever he wished to.
