PROVING once more that it is the go-to destination for adventure seekers, Danao City successfully hosted the 3rd Danao City International Ultra Trail over weekened.

Hundreds of trail run enthusiasts answered the starting gun, hurdling the city’s lung-busting but picturesque terrains in the tournament that dangled more than P1 million in cash prizes.

“The whole experience...it was brutal. Aside from the elevation that was so high, the race was made even harder because of the heat,” said Elizabeth Dangadang, the 100-kilometer overall champion.

Dangadang pocketed a whopping P100,000 for her feat.

While it was a test of mental and physical fortitude, Dangadang said the competition was an experience to remember.

Smooth organizing and the presence of personnel for much-needed assistance made the race challening yet enjoyable, she said.

“I did enjoy, especially the community, the terrains. The medics were very helpful..they helped us survive the “good suffering”,” the runner from Baguio City added.
