Milo Marathon ~ Davao City Leg
November 6, 2011
5K
Roxas Avenue
Davao City
The Milo Marathon… one of the
country’s most prestigious running events. They travel and organize “Milo
Marathon” races in different cities all over the country, culminating in a
National Finals in Manila. They help with a good cause too: the “Help Give
Shoes” Advocacy ~ in which the proceeds from registering for the race helps
donate shoes to young runners who can’t afford them. These especially target
those in the far flung areas in the provinces.
Well, I was wondering what the fuss
was about back in 2010 when Ryan invited me to join the Milo Marathon. And when
I went with my friends for this one, wow! I have never been to a race with so
much people! They say over 10,000 people joined!
This was a simple route for a 5K ~ a loop around the Chinatown area. I am glad I was able to join
my friends for a 5K rather than going for a longer distance. One bonus in
joining a shorter distance is that you get to the finishing area faster ~
meaning shorter lines for the food and free stuff!

Oh, one last parting shot to my friend
(this is my blog after all hehe). To JM: “It doesn’t matter whether you win by
an inch or a mile, a win is a win.”
>>> Race Time: 5K (30 min)
