We should be happy there’s a group like DARS promoting running here in Dumaguete.
Maybe your columnist Mr. Mequi should join runs organized by DARS so that he can experience what kind of a group they are.
Mr. Mequi doesn’t have to criticize budding groups, and in fact, should support and encourage them. And I don’t think it’s right for any of us to refer to DARS members as “experiments”. They are running enthusiasts.
