There was also a Magic Show from rising star, Neil Fama, who awed the crowd with his quick hands and awesome tricks.<\/p>\n<p>Organizers had dozens of raffle prizes, including gift certificates from Kensington, Saipan Vegas, and PIC.  Awesome gear from Triple J Wholesale, including a 32\u201d TV, camping tents, and quality folding chairs, were raffled off as well.<\/p>\n<p>A color elimination game was played where participants competed to win $300.  This year\u2019s winner was Clyde Sanchez, while Devin Galloway took the second place and won $100.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s race drew 1,150 participants. Proceeds raised from this event will be given to Saipan Cares for Animals.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeth Pliscou and staff are really awesome people who give their time to take care of the animals who have no homes.  I hope this event will help them find new homes and families for their animals,\u201d PIC Sports and Events manager Keoni Ichihara said.<\/p>\n<p>Ichihara would like to thank the following for supporting last weekend\u2019s event:   Kensington, Coral Ocean Golf Resort, E-Land, Pacific Trading Company, Saipan Vegas, Triple J Wholesale, and Let\u2019s Move Marianas.<strong> (PR)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 5th Annual PIC Hafa Adai 5K last Saturday went down with a blast of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":274837,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[20971,409,17641,20040],"class_list":["post-274835","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","tag-magic-show","tag-pic","tag-saipan-cares","tag-saipan-vegas"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274835","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/28"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=274835"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274835\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/274837"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=274835"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=274835"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=274835"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
