35th National Milo Marathon Davao leg

About 500 students from Davao City's public high schools received on
Friday new imported shoes as they had signed up to join the rest of
the 12,450 runners from Davao City and other Mindanao areas who will
participate in the 35th National Milo Marathon Davao leg to be held in
out-and-back course along Roxas Avenue, this city, on Sunday.

Milo AVP and sports events executive Pat Goc-Ong said athletes and
selected students of Leon Garcia National High School, Daniel R.
Aguinaldo National High School, Manuel L. Quezon Elementary School,
Davao City National High School and Magallanes Elementary School are
the beneficiaries of imported shoes.

Goc-ong said a total of 10,000 shoes nationwide are out this year in
celebration of Nestle's 100 years.

Davao leg coordinator Kenneth Sai of Vantage Sports Promotions said 3K
has 1,100 registrants, 5K with 10,500, 10K with 350 and 21K 520
runners.

Anthony Nerza and Brian Lupio are among the top contenders for the
men's 21K title, he said.

Sai said Brokenshine College's Cynthia Jaro, third placer in the
Summit Camarines Sur women's 42K, is the heavy favorite in the distaff
side.

He also said noted runners from Butuan, Cebu and Cagayan de Oro will
give Davao's homegrown bets a stiff contest for cash prizes and
trophies at stake in the footrace.
