50 and running: "CLARK, Pampanga—Eduardo Villanueva, 50-year-old former Army corporal, bested more than 120 runners his junior in The North Face 100, a 100-km trail running event held over the weekend here.
Villanueva, who once battled Abu Sayaff rebels in the forest of Basilan, found Clark’s rugged terrain as a somewhat familiar territory.
He negotiated treacherous mountains, steep downhill routes, slippery lahar and chilling rain, which halted the race late in the afternoon, to cross the finish line at the Nayong Pilipino Clark Expo first in 18 hours and 15.28 seconds on Saturday night.
“Sa larong ito, kailangan ’yung mga may edad na runners. Maski bata ka at malakas, kapag pahabaan, hindi kaya ng bata. Magsu-surrender sila. Pang-matanda talaga ito,” said Villanueva."...
