***
This week has been quite a busy one for the Talisay City LGU with the support of Mayor JV delos Reyes, different departments (PNP, Traffic, Medical Team), and the 10 barangays that will be passed by the race.

Every successful man is a woman. In the case of Talisay City Marathon is 2 women: Jeaneth Villagonzalo (left) and Menchu Dagode (2nd to the right). These 2 have been the key for making this event happen. Together with them are also the very supportive men (left to right): Dodong of Coco Running, City administrator Jhon Yre Delos Reyes, City Councilor Dennis Basillote.

As a thank you for all your support, they are doing the best preparation they can.
