The 42K finisher’s medal was the simplest of the 23 full marathon medals I have earned in the last 18 months- the only one made of plastic. But this stark simplicity belied the thrill and adventure experienced in the marathon journey. Indeed, very typical of Dumaguete- laid back yet enchanting, serene yet sophisticated, gentle yet wise. My kind of city! Read more »
Visiting runners ruled the men & women above the age of 17 categories of the Dumaguete Adventure Marathon last Sunday, November 20.
Josphat Kiptanul of Kenya won the men’s division of the 42km adventure marathon while another Kenyan, Ben Kipaski, won the men’s division of the 21k half marathon.
Kiptanul, 25, clocked 2:43:21 for the adventure marathon. “It was a really good adventure run,” Kiptanul, who had also joined several full marathons and half marathons before the DAM.
“The hardest part is the way going to an uphill and when you pass through stones and bushes. I just walked a little bit,” he said.
Unknown to most runners, Kiptanul and most of the Kenyans had been training for a month in Dumaguete before the contest. “My competitors were also strong but I had an advantage so I used it to win,” he said. Read more »
Dear fellow runners,
Thank you for joining the Dumaguete Adventure Marathon 2011!
This was the first time we had the 42K route (from 31.5k last year) and some of you have helped make history in Negros Oriental by joining the first-ever 42K Adventure Marathon.
Kudos, too, to our 21k, 10.5k, 3k and 1.5k runners (we also had a category for Persons with Disabilities). Every run is a unique challenge for each runner and most of the runners are agreed that the route was TOUGH BUT FUN.
It was indeed our pleasure to be involved in the Dumaguete Adventure Marathon, and we are now planning for DAM 2012 scheduled on November 18, 2012. We are always looking out for ways of improving the run. We welcome your suggestions at <info@dumaguetemarathon.com>.
We look forward to having you again soon.
DAM…it feels good (let’s do it again)!
