DANNY Mombay and Ariela Garras ruled the Helubong 50km Uphill Ultra Challenge held last May 16 and 17 in Koronadal City.
The 32-year-old Monbay of Kidapawan City clocked four hours, 47 minutes and 19 seconds to win the men’s category.
"Finally, an Ultra Marathoner", said Mombay, who won his first Ultra.
“Actually, I stopped for them to wait because the road was deserted and there was no marshal,” said Mombay, a PNP member (Regional Legal Office 12 - Unit).
Mombay, who is assigned in PRO 12 GenSan City, estimated distance to the second placer if he didn't stop could be two or three kilometers.
“I don't run to add days to my life. I run to add life to my days,” said Mombay.
Mombay’s next race will be the Digos City to Malita 70km Ultra Marathon on June 20-21.
Michael Villanueva finished second at 4:51:15 followed by veteran Ultra marathoner Jonathan Pido [4:55:12].
The 4th to 10th placers: Reymark Regalado [5:06:21], Armando Febrero [5:09:33], Robert Largado [5:13:49], Anthony Tenefrarica [5:22:45], Quincy Joquino [5:25:27], Rapl Zambra [5:32:15], Ruperto Tisran Jr. [5:46:25].
Garras, on the other hand, submitted a time of 6:02:47 to dominate the distaff side.
Second was Juvy Malloyca followed by Bimm Andales.
The 4th to 10th: Ruth Cheles Ignacio [6:41:33], Kristine Barilla [6:52:29], Neva Jean Tan [6:56:58], Cristelyn Abajar [7:12:05], Yan Delrin [7:13:05], Jennylyn Bonbac [7:30:16], Lyn Africa [7:30:16].
The race kicked off at the Koronadal City Hall and was finished at the Lemubong Resort and Tourism Lodge in Lake Sebu.
The event was organized by SOX Events & Solutions headed by Lilibeth Garcia.
