CEBU CITY, Philippines— Gealon Racing Team runners Andy Toniacao and Kelvin Boyles will compete in two separate long-distance races outside Cebu starting this weekend.
The newly-formed team of Cebu City Councilor Rey Gealon will send Boyles and Toniacao in two separate out-of-town foot races.
Toniacao will test his mettle in tomorrow’s Mayon 360° Albay Ultramarathon.
To recall, Toniacao is the champion of the recently-concluded Danao 100KM ultra trail and will compete in the scenic but grueling Mayon ultramarathon which features 293 meters of elevation gain that covers 80 kilometers of off-road running.
