While some friendships are formed over good food or drinks, three Filipinos living in different European countries bond by putting on their running shoes and running a grueling race together.
Rolando Espina, Bren Kevin Policarpio, and Eugene Evangelista conquered the 222-kilometer Ultr’Ardèche ultramarathon in France from May 18 to 19. The three kumpares have been friends for more than five years and have a common godson, Mico.“Bren Kevin Policarpio Cabasa and Eugene Evangelista are my kumpares. We've known for more than five years, I guess because of running and social media. We've been running marathons and ultramarathons for some time,” Espina told GMA News Online.
According to its website, the Ultr’Ardèche must be joined by experienced runners in ultramarathons and ultra long distances as the participants must follow a hilly and high altitude trail in Ardèche. Participants can completely finish the course in 37 hours. It might be a challenging race, but it was a nice moment for the three friends.
