A Note from Ton Concepcion of Condura:

Dear Runners,

We sincerely apologize for the delay in opening registration.  We are implementing an electronic registration system for your convenience and data accuracy.  This system will enable you to register at www.conduraskywaymarathon.com and pay and pick up the race kit and shirt at the Condura Skyway Marathon Registration Center in Greenbelt 3.  We also have an online payment option with delivery to your door step.  Our information technology supplier is hard at work even on this Sunday conducting final quality assurance tests to ensure the system is reliable.  They have advised us that the system will be up and running by midnight December 15.  We thank you for your patience and understanding.

If you dream it, it will happen.

This was all in the plan when Lit, Cliff, and I dreamed this up a few months ago. And, we’re only too happy to be giving it to you. It’s the best pre-marathon gift we could think of.  We hope it makes your first (or second) marathon even more memorable.
