So you didn’t get into TBR Dream Marathon 2012 the first time? Here’s your second chance (if you reserved online!)

As we expected, not everyone from the first wave of reserved runners registered for the race.  Hence, the unclaimed slots were freed up.  Now, we are passing the slots on to the waitlisted runners.

Here’s the catch.  To keep things simple and expedite the registration process (we want to start running already!), we are allowing 100 wait listed runners to sign up.  BUT, there are only 70 slots available.

Let me repeat:

• No. of slots available for TBR DREAM 2012: 70 slots
• No. of runners on the Wave 2 Reserved Runners List: 100 runners

What does this mean?  It means that the 70 slots will be given to the first 70 runners who register and claim their registration kits.  Not all 100 will be accommodated into the race.  We feel terrible about this, but we do hope you understand that we limit our slots to ensure each of our TBR Dream runners is well cared for.

RULES:

• First come, first served basis. As mentioned, there are 100 names on the wait listed sheet below. BUT, there are only 70 SLOTS open. First 70 to register will claim the slots.
• Onsite cash registration. To keep things fair, payment will only be accepted in cash and only at our registration center.  Only for those out of town, we will accept emails to confirm your slot.  Please email macel@thebullrunner.com
• Reserved runners from the 1st Wave of Runners have forfeited their slot.  They cannot sign into Wave 2 of Registration.

TBRDM OFFICIAL SHIRT (FOR WAVE 1 & 2 TBR DM REGISTRANTS)

This is our updated size chart for TBR DM Official Shirt.  Choose your size based on the size chart above (unisex) to expedite onsite registration.

• We have limited stocks available for particular sizes, BUT we will replenish our stock for all sizes.  Runners will be advised on this blog when and where to claim the new sizes.
• For Wave 1 of TBR DM registered runners who’ve claimed their shirts, please note we added two new sizes. If you wish to exchange sizes, we accept exchange if the shirt is unwashed and unused.  We will advise when and where the claiming of shirts will be.

Do you want your kids to follow in your footsteps? I know it’s short notice, but if you’re free this weekend, there’s a Kids-Only Triathlon Camp at NUVALI, Sta. Rosa, Laguna offered by The Next Step Tri Camp led by Coach Dan and Ani Brown.

More details from The Next Step:

Kids who are new to the sport or who are already in training for their next race will be benefiting from our sessions which include hands-on training and short talks for the kids. Parents who are in attendance will learn a thing or two as well. It is a 2 day-camp, but we are also offering a 1 day option for those who cannot attend both days.

As part of the camp, we will also be going through a race course simulation for IronKids Nuvali on October 30, 2011. This includes a fun relay event for kids who are not yet familiar with all three sports but want to participate.
