ANOTHER ONE!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻💯

There’s a quiet kind of determination in 𝐆𝐢𝐧𝐨 — the kind that doesn’t boast, doesn’t rush, but shows up and grows stronger with every mile.

This year alone, he took two big leaps:
🏅 His first full marathon last June, and
🏅 Another marathon just last month at INOM.

Two marathons in one year… and now he’s stepping into an even bigger challenge — his first ultramarathon.

What’s inspiring about Gino is how naturally he embraces progression. No shortcuts, no noise, just steady commitment. He runs with heart, with intention, and with a genuine desire to see where this journey can take him.

And now, that journey is bringing him to the 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐍𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐬 𝐔𝐥𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐧 — ready to test himself again, ready to rise again, ready to prove that growth happens one brave step at a time.

There’s something special about 𝐏𝐆’𝐬 story — one that reminds us how running can become a lifeline, a refuge, and eventually, a home.

He only started taking running seriously this March, and like many of us, he began with hesitation… unsure, questioning himself, battling fears and self-doubts. But the support of his 𝐊𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 family helped him take those first brave steps — from fun little 3KM and 5KM runs to something deeper, something healing.

Running became his quiet space.
A place where the noise in his head softens.
Where depression loosens its grip.
Where he feels lighter, steadier, stronger.

And because he didn’t want his “running era” to be just a 𝑝ℎ𝑎𝑠𝑒, he showed up — consistently, wholeheartedly — with or without an event. And that commitment has carried him far:

🏅 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐟 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐧 — 𝐁𝐂𝐌 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 (𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞)
🏅 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐧 — 𝐂𝐎𝐒𝐈𝐌 (𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫)
🔥 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐰… 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠, 𝐟𝐥𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠-𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 𝐔𝐋𝐓𝐑𝐀 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐍𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐬 𝐔𝐥𝐭𝐫𝐚!

PG, your journey is a reminder that strength isn’t loud — sometimes it’s found in quiet morning runs, in choosing to fight again, in deciding that movement is healing. We’re proud of you, and we can’t wait to cheer you on as you 𝒆𝒏𝒅 2025 𝒂𝒔 𝒂𝒏 𝑼𝑳𝑻𝑹𝑨𝑴𝑨𝑹𝑨𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑵𝑬𝑹! 🤟🤟🤟
