Jul 28, 2013
Students, members of various running clubs and elite runners (eherm!) once again rose to the challenge of the 37th National MILO Marathon on July 28, 2013 at the Mall of Asia grounds in Pasay City.
Filipinos now have higher awareness in running that’s why the number of participants exceeded the targeted 40,000, marking the largest number of registered participants in a single race in the history of the MILO Marathon.
This celebration also has the highest number of Road Eaters, beating the number of delegates of the Run United I 2013 marathon. Most of them joined the 21K race. New club members who joined in this prestigious event were: Pau, Ma'am Nora, Emille and Vic. The amazing 42K runners were: BJ, Jerome, Marvin and Christy.
Everyone’s determined to finish the race within the cut-off period. Milo Marathon’s challenge makes every runner push themselves to their limits. However, not all Road Eaters succeeded. Unbelievable. Were the Road Eaters sabotaged? Was it because of some conspiRUNcy theories?
Hmmm… maybe it’s the saying: “Do not try anything new in the race.”
Here’s what we found out:
Kirk and Marvin wore new shoes.
Billy wore a new cap.
Ma'am Nora wore new shorts.
Anjo and Eya used energy gels for the first time.
Josh listened to the music for the first time while running a marathon.
Whatever may have caused it, still majority of the Road Eaters finished the race strong and in glory! We congratulate all participants. It became a motivation for all to do better for the next race. Soon, the National Finals will open for them.
Jerome the 42K finisher.
The medal looked like a BIG Marie biscuit!

Off to Rufo's Famous Tapa!
