EXTREME MARINDUQUE DRAWING PARTICIPANTS


"MARINDUQUE EXTREME SERIES 2" scheduled for November 28-29, 2009 in Capayang, Mogpog continues to attract participants from outside the island-province. Early confirmation has been received from the lady bikers/journalists of GMA7, Leo Oracion's biking group from Lukban (Oracion is the first Filipino to climb Mt. Everest), another group from Lipa City and the Batangas Riders.

Started in 2007 by the provincial tourism office and Team Marinduque the local competition has seen all types of cyclists from everywhere joining scheduled races here such as Duathlon, Aggressive Cross-Country Races, Triathlon and Fun Rides around Marinduque. It has also encouraged beginners to join the activities, leading to the discovery of home-grown talents capable of joining national competitions, and the promotion of the green-tourism concept.

Categories for "Marinduque Extreme Series 2" are open for Beginners/Novices, Open/Elite, and Executive. The event this month is expected to draw to Marinduque not only the participants but their families as well as hotel bookings reveal.

Busy with the preparations are the capitol's Dr. Jose Victoria, Dr. Ed Ancheta, tourism officer Gerry Jamilla, coordinator Joven Lilles and provincial administrator Allan Velasco and other members of Team Marinduque province-wide.
