2017 MAYON 360: Where Bicolanos Reign Again
Finally, after more than two years of waiting and trying, Bicolano runners have regained supremacy of the Mayon 360 ultra marathon. An 80-km hot romancing of the road around the most perfect volcano in the world, the Mayon 360 is the most famous of long distance running events in the whole of Bicol region. And for the 2017 edition, we have Eugene "Bong" Postrado of Masbate and Mario Maglinao of Albay to congratulate and thank profusely for placing 1st and 2nd. A Kenyan runner, no less, and a former Mayon 360 champion at that, came in 3rd.

NAGA TO LAGONOY ULTRA: The Pioneering Batch
The etymology of the word "pioneer" is the French word "pionnier" which means a foot soldier. How apt indeed to hear the race director of the Naga to Lagonoy (N2L), greet us 50+ runners assembled in front of the historic Quince Martires Monument in downtown Naga City on that early morning of April 29, 2017 as the "pioneering batch of the N2L." For indeed, we are honest-to-goodness foot soldiers in the many glorious battle(s) on the road we call ultra marathon(s).
