It was Guarte’s first time to run in the 21K category. The 23-year-old native of Calapan clocked in at 01:12:12, beating rivals Jujet De Asis (01:14:56) and Roel Galvero (01:15:34) who came in second and third place, respectively.
Guarte’s big jump to the 21K event was no easy feat. “Since 2008 to 2014, I only joined the 5K and 10K events,” shared Guarte. “It was hard to make the transition to long distance running, but with the proper training and guidance from my coaches and teammates, I was able to do it.”

In 2013, Agura, a native of Lipa, finished in the top 10 of the MILO Marathon National Finals. She is determined to train well and do her best at the National Finals. Aside from her personal training, she is also busy coaching her De La Salle Lipa students aged 7-12. She is also training her MILO APEX students, adults 40 years and over, who will run in the Lipa leg of the MILO Marathon. “I joined the Calapan leg so that I can guide my students as they run in the Lipa race,” shared Agura. “I enjoy sharing my knowledge to my students. It’s an amazing feeling knowing I am able to inspire them, and in turn, they inspire me too.”
The National MILO Marathon is not only a breeding ground for local talents but also a program that empowers children nationwide. With the support of the Department of Education and the National MILO Marathon runners, MILO’s Help Gives Shoes advocacy will provide 10,000 underprivileged youth with brand new running shoes this year. MILO is working with DepEd in the selection of deserving public school student beneficiaries.

The 39th National MILO Marathon is made possible by Timex, the Bayview Park Hotel Manila, ASICS and Smart, along with endorsements from the Department of Education, Philippine Sports Commission and the Philippine Olympic Committee.
