This is a very late post; nevertheless I want to write about
it. The Butuan leg of Milo marathon was held last October 19, 2014. It was a
successful event wherein thousands of runners participate. It is my second time
running. I really made sure I conditioned my body well so that I can finish the
race. I want to outdo my performance last year and I’m glad I did.
Thousands of participants from different parts of CARAGA
flock to J.C. Aquino Avenue. The start of the race is between Fr. Saturnino
Urios University and St. Joseph Cathedral.
Runners in different categories are very much represented and made the event
a success. Milo Marathon aims to make the country a “Champion Nation” through
building champions. There advocacy is to help those less fortunate children to
own a pair of shoes that can help them achieve their dream.
It is one of the main reasons why I joined the marathon, but
my main motivation is to be fit and healthy. I made running an avenue to lose
weight. I was so excited when finally Milo put their tarpaulin in different
places in Butuan City announcing the race. I made sure I registered early to
get my number and singlet. I heard that a lot was not able to join because the
organizers run out of uniform and number. In the day of marathon, employees,
students and from all walks of life waited at the starting line before the
running shot was heard. And we run, I
personally run for 5k. It was long but very fulfilling. I am so glad that I was
able to finish the race. For me, it is an accomplishment. I may not able to get
a medal but finishing the race is a medal for me.
Here are the photos I collected before and after the race.
