Not our first ultramarathon (already did 50K and 75K) but our very first 100-kilometer (103 to be exact) Ultramarathon and we FINISHED!

We’re very impressed how the event was organized. LGUs have visible support by setting up stations with water and some even cold, with Gatorade and even softdrinks, some also has biscuits, chocolates and bananas. Visible motor-marshalls who guides especially solo female runners on dark roads.

Somewhere :) ... Team Animo (L-R) Rocky, Richmond, Belle & Dustin.

Food (warm soup and rice) at 28K (?), 50K and 69K marks.

Dinner time at the 28K mark. Clockwise: Rocky, Richmond, Ar-ar, sir Marlon, Belle & Dustin.

You’ll also find an ice bath station at the 50K mark where you can deep your legs to temporarily relieve it from swelling and a massage therapist upon your request.

Truly pampered indeed and you can say you really get your “money’s” worth.

Happily crossing the finish line!

We recommend this event for first timers to run a 100K ultramarathon.

"I run because long after my footprints fade away, maybe I will have inspired a few to reject the easy path, hit the trails, put one foot in front of the other, and come to the same conclusion I did: I run because it always takes me where I want to go."
