In my own humble opinion, the level of difficulty in this race is so high that it is actually 20 times tougher than the biodiversity, makiling and nuvali trail runs combined. Even the Kenyans and the other elite runners had a hard time in this trail run. When I asked the overall winner [a Kenyan] what he can say about the race, he sheepishly answered that "it was like hell".
During the pre-race briefing the night before the race, all runners were informed that there would be no cut-off time and that all finishers would be given their respective medals and certificates. Ironically, the race organizer added that only those finishers who would be able to reach the finish line in four hours would be included in the list. Talk about cut-off times! Those who fail to do it in 4 hours would not be included in the list anymore.
Our bib numbers, 121 and 122, were there in the list with respectable clockings of 03:42:52.70 [ranked 91st] and 03:58:55.01 [ranked 105th].
Here are the complete results of the toughest 21k trail run in the Philippines.
