This is another happy side during the Ultramarathon and this is in one community working as one to inspire the runners!!!
Again, 50 kilometers IS 50 kilometers!
It is so inspiring to see the community, especially the Elementary school pupils, not only cheering but waving colorful flags... very representative of the VINTA colors and under the Zamboanga City heat. By the way, they said it was one of the hottest days in Zambaonga City!!!
These photos are shared by Doc Maya and I love these pictures because these give us an idea on the travails of the Ultramarathoners... and marathoners wanna be!
Don't put down the efforts of those who tried... joining the marathon in itself is a feat!

Thank you Tolosa community and thank you kids.
