Elyu Running Community

Congratulations to Gericho V. Manalastas for taking third place in the 5k at the Rotary Run for Peace in Tubigon, Bohol!
Landing on the podium is a great achievement, and it’s even better knowing those miles helped support the global fight to end polio. Awesome job representing the community and running for such an important cause. Keep it up, Gerico!

Resilience in Every Step

Last week, a group of quiet warriors took to the roads of La Union, undertaking the humbling challenge of a 100-kilometer journey from Rosario to Sudipen.
This wasn't just a race against the clock, but a test of the human spirit. They moved through the sweltering heat and the unforgiving conditions of the open road, obstacles that might have slowed their pace, but never dimmed their resolve.

Rather than backing down when the miles grew heavy, they chose to dig deep, finishing with a strength that inspired everyone watching.
We are incredibly honored to celebrate every runner who stood at the starting line, with a special nod to these individuals for their remarkable grit:

• Cedric Almirol 5th Place
• Roy Abellera 9th Place
• Ryan Navarro 11th Place
• Rio Soliven 15th Place

"The true measure of an ultramarathoner isn't found in the rank, but in the courage to keep moving when the body asks to stop.”

Congratulations to all of you. You've shown us that with enough heart, no distance is too great.

Congratulations to Aldrin Napiloy for a standout performance at The Wild Side of Sagada 2026!
Taking on the 25km category in the series opener is already a tough challenge, and conquering a course that blends road sections with technical trails across the western ridges speaks volumes. Linking Sagada's iconic landmarks with its lesser-known paths truly highlights the strength, skill, and resilience needed for mountain running.

It's inspiring to see a representative of La Union conquering such a challenging and scenic course in the heart of the mountains. Well done, Aldrin! Keep blazing those trails!

The energy was electric at the 4th Annual G-String Cross Country Run in Brgy. Ambiong, La Trinidad, a race that truly tested everyone’s limits with its grueling high-elevation climbs.

Congratulations to our podium finishers:

• Bernard Caluza – For taking the win and officially beating the best time on this challenging course!

• Leanver Laconsay – For a stellar performance and securing first place in his age category!

Your strength and stamina out there were next level. Well deserved, champs! 🏔️🏃‍♂️🏆
