Cebu City Marathon 42K finishers to get mango-shaped medals
Finishers of the 42K race during the Cebu City Marathon on January 10, 2010 will each get a beautiful mango-shaped finisher’s medal. The medals are crafted by Suarez Bros. Metal Arts Inc., an institution in metalwork in Cebu City.
In the photo below, Cebu City Marathon organizer Meyrick Jacalan, the owner of ASAP (Advertising Services and Promotions), holds the medal that he designed. It’s great work. At first glance, you can immediately connect the medal to Cebu, which takes pride in its export-quality mangoes.
I hope organizers will use the same medal design in succeeding Cebu City Marathons. I want one. The medal talks to me in my dreams. It keeps saying “run 42K, run 42K, run 42K…”

I saw him just as I was bracing for the steep incline to the bridge at the South Road Properties in the 21-kilometer race in last January’s Cebu City Marathon.

Think again. On Feb. 9, 2009, I couldn’t run one kilometer. On Feb. 9, 2010, I ran 34.34 kilometers to celebrate my 34th birthday. I did it barely two days after running a grueling 21.7-kilometer Condura Run that passed a steep mountain called Skyway in Metro Manila. The idea to run one kilometer for each
