The race, which will cover the roads of Bogo City and the Municipality of Tabogon, has attracted close to 500 long distance runners in the men’s and women’s 50K and 25K categories.

“This event is known for bountiful food and drinks. We do this to satisfy all the runners. We will have four lechons (roasted pig), pintos, beer and other foods along the route,” he said.
