The LDS Runner would like to congratulate Bro. Carlo Bacalla and Haide Acuna for conquering the Bataan Death March 160K (100 miles) Ultamarathon. This particular endurance race traces the route US and Filipino POWs death march after they surrendered to the Japanese Imperial Army after the fall of Bataan in WWII.
Originally, the Bataan Death March (BDM) only features 102K. This year, retired Army General Joven Narcise aka The Bald Runner, who organized the event, added the 160K version to the traditional 102K race. The 160K route starts from Mariveles, Bataan to Capas, Tarlac.
The 160K race was slated on February 26-27, 2011.
Bro Carlo was reported to have finished 14th with a time of 26 hours and 8 minutes. Haide, on the other hand, registered a time of 31 hours and 8 minutes.
Again, the LDS Runner congratulates Bro. Carlo and Haide. These two ultra marathoners made Cebu proud last year after they finished the BDM 102K race. This year, they went even farther and made us prouder this time!
