🚀One-on-One with Dennis Retardo
2h 49mins - Paris Marathon 02-4-2023
Dennis Retardo is a 36-year-old Filipino mountaineer, trail athlete and ultra runner who lives in Paris,France.
He is famous when it comes to uphill and downhill including trail marathons that gave him the name "Ferocious". Not to mention the countless of records attained throughout his career.
An example of this is the two-time finish at the UTMB TDS (Traces des duca de Savoie) 2021 and 2022 with 145Km - 9,100D+ 32h41.55,
while waving the Philippine Flag in glory!
His height, however, is not that tall in comparison to other nationalities he had been with in his duration as an athlete. It is just the same with his co-peers, but this did not stop him from achieving greater heights and lengths in terms of accomplishments. Positive mindset, diligence, passion, and agility in action will make you amazed in what he can do. Given the track record both as an athlete and Filipino, many are pressured to compete with him.
Like one of his latest competitions, he joined last Oct 1,2022 @Ultra Trail des Montagnes du Jure (Alps 2theSea) got 2nd Place Age category and 7th Place Over-all with a distance of 170Km 7,970D+ or more than 25,000 ft elevation gain - 27h51.04.

Here,he suffered a unique experience in the Alps due to circumstances such as rain, freezing weather, slippery track, and hunger. But all the challenges he encountered; hope was not lost. For him, the fight is still on no matter what happens.
