The 31-year-old Tillor finished the 42-kilometer course in 2 hours, 48 minutes and 13 seconds.

Tillor’s victory marked the first time that a Filipino won the title in the prestigious race.

It was a great comeback win for Tillor, who missed his opportunity in the last two editions of the event in 2014 and 2015. He placed second in his first try in 2014, where he finished in 2:49:21 behind Kenyan John Waithaka Njiha. Another disappointment came the following year as he was forced to stop three kilometers from the finish line due to an injury.

The third time was a charm as Tillor made sure that he would emerge victorious as he took the men’s open crown of the race that featured 8,500 runners.

5th Charter Day Celebration

By Art M.
Message from the City Mayor The City of Bogo celebrates its 5th year of cityhood. And yet, it seemed but only yesterdaythat we finally earned our right to be recognized as one. It was a recognition bitterly fought at the highest court of the land; it was a victory that, no doubt, is a major one. But as far as we in the administration are concerned an even greater struggle is at hand: proving we can achieve the goals we had set in the first place when we pursued the dreams of cityhood. Rome was not built in a day, thus we are trying our best to fashion the tools of governance that wiull help in achieving the goals we had set for our city and our people.
