I spent the whole Christmas break in Baguio City… here’s an account of how I spent my days up there… 
Dec 30: Loakan Road
I wasn’t able to take pics of this route during the last Milo Half-Marathon so I decided to run this route this day as part of my run…
- starting point – the Baguio City Hall -
- trees, trees, trees! -
- some areas didn’t have sidewalks so ran on top of these barricades -
The Milo route just passes by the Philippine Military Academy, the training academy of future officers of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, but since I was already within the area… I decided to take a peek inside…
- entrance to the Philippine Military Academy (Fort del Pilar) -
- only place in Baguio with a sign such as this -
- the hero of Tirad Pass, Gregorio del Pilar -
- well-maintained roads -
- a “museum” of old WWII war machines -
- those gears are HUGE! -
- HQ -
- cadet’s barracks -
- parade grounds -
- ceremonial hat -
- final shot -
Im always on this road whenever im in Baguio for a client since they’re located in the BEPZ in Loakan. I’ve always admired this road for the “course” that is even in a car. Would sure love to test my legs the next time around…
why not try it out when you’re there next… then race it during the milo half
i was supposed to do the milo baguio leg last year but i had a last minute schedule conflict. this year, il put that on top of my list
see you there!
Happy New Year Joe!
happy new year too!
