Regional Marathon Championship in Iloilo.


Victoriahon, Miriam Miranda of Barangay VI-A, will finally hit the road on the Milo Marathon 42km National Championship in Manila this November 18 2007, after her victory in the 31st Regional Marathon Championship Women’s Division last September 2 2007 in Iloilo City.

Miranda states that her routine practice prepares her for the challenging race. She runs from Victorias to Cadiz City every Sundays and on weekdays runs for more or less 10 kilometers. The national championship is a tough competition. It is where all of the competitors from different parts of the country train hard to bring home the victory. A strict routine is needed to be able to defeat other challengers, she added.

Aside from Miranda, her brother, Erose, will also be competing and both are coached by their father, Eduardo Miranda, a marathon runner himself.

Winner in the Milo Marathon will receive P75,000 cash.

Vice Mayor Francis Frederick Palanca and the City Council promised to extend financial assistance to the Mirandas after their courtesy call to the council.
