The event will start and finish at the Ipil National High School.
Atty. Ingemar P. Macarine, president of the Surigao Runners Club, said proceeds of the event will be used for the benefit of athletes of the said school.
Macarine said winners will receive cash prizes, while finishers will have medals and shirts.
“We are calling duathletes, triathletes, cyclists and runners to participate in this activity,” he said.
Macarine said more and more participants are registering in this competition. He expects sports fanatics from other areas like Butuan, Cagayan de Oro, Davao, and Surigao del Sur to join the athletic event.
