Hallasgo, Agravante reign supreme in Milo Marathon
FORMER Milo Marathon King Jeson Agravante and Milo Marathon regular Christine Hallasgo embodied discipline, resilience and determination as they reigned supreme in the Milo Nutri-Up 42K race event of the 42nd National Milo Marathon Manila. Almost 28,000 runners hit the streets and braved the damp weather to conquer the race routes that covered the cities of Pasay, Makati, and Taguig in Metro Manila.
In the men’s division, Agravante beat his opponents with the time of 2:35:10, relegating Erick Panique (2:42:41) to second place, and Bryan Quinco (2:43:59) to third place. In the women’s division, Hallasgo clocked in with the time of 3:05:14, placing Jho-An Villarma (3:14:28) to second place, and Cinderella Lorenzo (3:17:46) to third.
Both Agravante and Hallasgo will each take home the top purse of P50,000 in cash and a trophy, and booked their slots to the National Finals in Laoag City on Dec. 9 to try and claim the Milo Marathon King and Queen titles.
