It took some time to do it, 17 years to be exact but only one thing matters, we did it! When current Cebu Executive Runners Club president Roel Militar and several members of the club hatched the idea of organizing a full marathon (42.2 kms), it sounded like a mission impossible. In fact I was lukewarm to the project as I know it would entail not only a huge budget but a lot of time as well. We started preparation this year but can't seem to take off due to limited funds. But the dilemma even posed a big challenge.

Cebu will be bracing for its date with history when the Cebu Sinulog Marathon finally gets under way on February 18, at the Fort San Pedro Plaza Independencia. Every body's excited. Well it's been 17 long years since we had a full marathon, when Cebu Executive Runners Club president Roel Militar offered me to take the task as race director, I declined at first as I'm up to my neck doing a lot of things at the same time. When preparations were going nowhere "nakonsensiya ako," since I'm also the founding president of the club. The persistence of the members also made me change my mind.
