I am a Bicolano by birth and choice. By any standards, I am a slow runner but I like it that way. I look at running as a healthy and exciting way to make a difference. Together with my fellow runners from our family, school, office, and the community, we use running to give back.

TN2N: Pioneering Uragons


A couple of hours before the break of dawn of this glorious Labor Day (May 1, 2016), 46 intrepid souls gathered in front of the Sto. Nino Church in the hilly barangay of Tierra Nevada. Many are members of running clubs (Caceres Runners, Isarog Runners, Team SUBO, Runconada, Pepsi-BRO ) and running tribes (row5runnin, 83neans)  while a few are independent freelancers.  They are all about to make history as the 50km race they have signed up for is the first official ultra marathon in the province. Yup, the Tierra Nevada to Naga (TN2N) ultra marathon is the first of its kind in  Camarines Sur, snaking its way from the rugged town of Tinambac in the 4th district of the province to the heart of Bicol - Naga City.
