Congratulations to all the fist finishers and the 3 brave 42k runners who tried to take on the trail all by themselves in midst of bad weather during the race.

Indeed you will be remembered as first participants who joined the Pace2Pace Trail Run Laligan-Banlag Edition.
Your support is highly appreaciated in terms of the local's high perspective due to their big dream of having
their place as one of the tourism site needed to be tried.
A monument with your names on the lists will be built and a lifetime 10% discount for all Pace2Pace trail run events all because somebody believed in people's dream.

Pace2Pace is committed to improving the community within its boundaries for the betterment of the lives of the people who are now in the state of "Alsa movement". A movement that overthrew the leftist's (late NPA's) to create a new and different way of thinking.
And the resulting peace now created a volume of great mountains and natural resources yet to be explored were envisioned.

Indeed the once critical place has now been enjoyed by our runners.
