Runners from all walks of life will test their tenacity and endurance as the 41st National Milo Marathon fires off on Sunday in one of the race’s three new locations in Urdaneta City, Pangasinan. The first of the 16-leg marathon series is expected to draw around 10,000 runners. Besides Urdaneta City, the other two new race locations are the cities of Laoag and Roxas where the marathon will take place on July 23 and October 1, respectively. “We at Milo make it a mission to engage more Filipinos in adapting active and healthy lifetstyles, and that is what the National Milo marathon is all about. This year’s national marathon king and queen, on the other hand, will be sent to compete in an international marathon as part of their prize.
