GIKAN sa 27 ka aktibidad sa nakalabay nga tuig, ang 34th Kadayawan Sports Festival organizers midugang og 10 pa aron mohatag sa mas lingaw nga edisyon sa tinuig nga sportsfest nga moarangkada via triathlon competition, Agosto 3 ug 4 sa Villa Josefina Resort Village sa Dumoy, Toril, Davao City.
Si Kadayawan Sports Festival program coordinator Cindy Cruz sa Sports Development Division sa City Mayor’s Office, nga nag-guest sa Davao Sportswriters Association (DSA) Forum sa The Annex of SM City Davao, nagsulti, “We have more events this year than last year with 10 major events to look forward to while the rest of the competitions will serve as qualifying for the city’s team in Batang Pinoy and Philippine National Games (PNG).”
Niya, highlight sa mga paugnat sa kusog karon nga tuig ang Kadayawan Half Marathon Run, 6th Kadayawan Run Davao Region 520K Ultramarathon, Kadayawan Commercial Invitational Basketball Tournament, 1st Kadayawan Skate Competition, Kadayawan Dragon Boat Festival, Crossfit Cranium ug Team Kwago 1st Dabaw Obstacle Race.
“Having more events is part of the city’s efforts to bring more tourists,” dugang niya.
Dugang ni Cruz nga tanang officiating fees sa city-funded tournaments gihisgutan na sa local finance committee, nga gikalipay ni Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) 11 referees commissioner lawyer Francis Calatrava.
“That’s good news! The SBP has been very supportive to the plans of the city government. After all, we all want to celebrate Kadayawan and give Dabawenyos a good tournament.”
Si Miguel Solitaria, sa iyang parte, nagdugang nga mosubmitar pa sila og rates sa officiating fees diin plano nilang mokuha og duha ka referees gikan SBP Manila.
Wa pa hinuoy ideya si Cruz sa kung pila ang total budget sa sportsfest, apan niya ang local government unit (LGU) moabaga sa halos tanang cash prizes, officiating, trophies ug ubang logistics nga panginahanglanon sa partner clubs ug organisasyon.
