The Pinoy Ultra Runners are Back!

Last February 9, 2008, the Pinoy Ultra Runners composed of Neville Manaois, Elizabeth Siojo, Olive Cortez, Dani Dematera, Peter Rivera, Jose De Vera, Jocelyn Saw, Andrew Chinalpan and Pen Nepomuceno conquered their 2nd Run For Your Life Ultramarathon. They ran 65 km from Banaue to Sagada in 9 to 10 hours. Congratulations to the team for a successful and safe run. They raised a significant amount of funds for the benefit of Kythe.

According to Neville, they will soon be offering training for runners interested in joining ultramarathons. The team is currently planning for two races this year. For those interested, just wait for future posts here.

To read more about the Sagada-Banawe adventure, read Neville’s blog.

Lucky for us mere mortals who didn’t have the energy to join their run (at least not yet, right?), the Pinoy Ultra Runners have awesome pics to share. Sit back and drool…

Thanks to Nards for the photos. For more photos, click here and here.

8. nice pics! saw your names at the ROX shop in the Boni High Street. You guys rock!

   I was a fairly good distance runner way back in college, did 5 full marathons and would want to try and go your distance.. Is your group exclusive or do you accept applicants / members?

   hope to meet you guys and personally congratulate you all!
