And the stories of champions continue
MANILA, Philippines - Widely regarded as the country’s longest-running and most prestigious running event, the National Milo Marathon has, for years, woven inspiring stories of human courage, triumph, friendship, and family bonding. Indeed, this marathon enjoys the much-envied reputation for rearing champions in sport and in life, while at the same time celebrating family values and a healthy lifestyle.
This year, as many as 200,000 runners took part in the nationwide simultaneous races that were staged in Tagbilaran and Baguio last August 9, Roxas and Dagupan on August 16, Iloilo and Legazpi on August 23, Bacolod and Naga on August 30.

With each staging of the National Milo Marathon, it isn’t uncommon to find the streets of the country’s major cities flooded in a sea of green as thousands of runners from all walks of life — ranging from serious runners to students, parents, and their children — take part in the event. Whether somebody ends up a champion or not, what’s certain is that each participant will have his own inspiring story to tell — and cherish — for the rest of his life.
