In the 10K race, James Kevin Cruz, Gilbert Laido, and Anthony Nerza ruled the men’s division, while marathon veteran Luisa Raterta, Jocelyn Elijeran, and Rica Moreno took the top three spots in the women’s division.
Among the 5K racers, Immuel Camino, Evelon Abutas, and Rowel Galvero emerged winners in the men’s division, with Joida Gagnao, Joneza Sustituedo, and Emmalyn Taypin taking the medals in the women’s category.
And in the 3K run, Erwin Mancao, Michael Gomez, and Norbert Cailao, together with their female counterparts Lina and Liza Abutas, plus Angel Mendoza, clocked in fastest.
