Sorry to bring a not-so-good news during this Holiday Season.

I am afraid we will ALL be running during the Philippine Marathon in March 2009 as the much-awaited Clark Marathon has been moved to December 05, 2009 (tentative) much to our, well to put it mildly, disappointment. We tried our best but just as some things in life, things just don’t seem to work.

Just keep on running and let us consider this as just a hump down the road. You get over it sooner than you think.

HAPPY HOLIDAY!

Atty Jon! I’m so sad! I’ll get over this in a week or so Well, I guess it’s better to delay the marathon and take time to prepare for it than to rush into it. Wish you all the best in the planning. Happy Holidays to you too.

the big ones – new york, chicago, boston, and even hong kong, singapore taipei are all sponsored by banks or financing institutions. i.e. ing, standard chartered, bank of america, john hancock et al.

maybe ing may be enticed into holding one here in pinas, after all, they have been sponsoring our co-runners to do ingnyc. probably former ing sponsored runners can be tapped to do the representations.

just a thought.

Folks, I will keep all of you updated from time to time. I hope by next week, we will have something “good” to report.

I don’t want to say more than I should at this point but rest assured that we have been working silently in the background just so this Clark Marathon would push through even before this crisis broke out. You may not know it but this clamor has jolted some people from their complacency. They know now.

I guess the postponement of QC Marathon served as a catalyst.

I hope more sponsors will express support publicly. Oh yes, this reminds of the so-called top 100 corporations in the Philippines.

(run unltd., sorry it did not cross my mind during the NB race perhaps due to sheer exhaustion. Haha.)
