2026 YMLG - INA MO'NA - Ben Pablo Memorial 2K / 5K Fun Run

Join the Young Men’s League of Guam (YMLG) as we celebrate the 3rd Annual YMLG “Ina Mo’na” Ben Pablo Memorial 5K/2K Fun Run on Sunday, July 12, 2026. This event takes place at Leo Palace Resort in Yona and honors the legacy of our beloved brother, Ben Pablo, an inspiring runner who championed the people of Guam.
The race begins with a ceremonial start outside the main hotel, winding through scenic pathways that lead to the serene lakeside area behind the resort where participants will cross the finish line. This community event is not just about running; it’s a testament to unity and respect for our CHamoru heritage.
Proceeds from this year's run go directly towards supporting educational opportunities through the YMLG Scholarship Program, which includes partnerships with the University of Guam aimed at preserving cultural knowledge and fostering leadership among young people. The Andrew T. Laguana scholarship fund offers financial assistance specifically to students pursuing studies in CHamoru language and culture.
