CONEST RULES:

  1. Contestant shall provide ONE name on the comment box of TOMORROW’s post on GUESS THE COVER RUNNER.  Please refrain from asking questions or discussing your training program in that post.  Just the name of the person who you think is on the cover will suffice.
  2. Only one entry per contestant is allowed.  Should two entries be submitted, the contestant will be automatically disqualified unless the contestant provides a good excuse for posting two entries (i.e., “I accidentally hit the submit button twice on the laptop as I was running fartleks while typing”)
  3. TBR will NOT publish comments on that particular post until after the end of the contest period, March 21.
  4. All correct entries will be collected and only 1 winner will be chosen through raffle.
  5. The name of the winner with the correct entry will be drawn under the supervision of TBR Representative, namely The Little Bull Runners.
  6. Should no one guess the cover runner correctly (aw, cmon!), there will be a raffle among all submitted entries.
  7. The winner will be announced on March 23, Monday and will be informed on how to claim the prize.
  8. TBR’s relatives who were informed of the publication or friends who contributed to TBR magazine or relatives/friends/colleagues of the cover runner are disqualified from joining the contest.  You guys will have to make do with a simple “Thank you!” from me! 
  9. I repeat, the contest starts TOMORROW.  Do not submit your entries in this post.

Did I miss anything in my rules?  Feel free to ask questions here before we start the contest tomorrow.  May the smart (and lucky) runner win!

TBR_Teaser1B

Yes, a MAGAZINE! I’m completely thrilled to finally launch this on Sunday at Condura Run! The only thing I have yet to reveal is the featured runner on our cover (uhm, that’s why it’s just a silhouette for now).

The Bull Runner Magazine is a FREE, quarterly mini-magazine packed with the following information:

  • Special feature on runners with great achievements or contributions in running
  • Articles on training, gear, and nutrition by Coaches or experts in their field
  • New running products
  • Calendar of races and running clinics
  • Directory of running resources such as Coaches, track ovals, ortho-doctors, clinics, shoes and many more!
  • Travel photos of runners running anywhere in the country
  • Special feature of a real runner and his/her personal records
  • Plus: Comic relief from Tergat: the Lone Runner’s comic strip

Even better news, the same info (yes, even the directory) will be available on the soon-to-be-improved The Bull Runner blog.

Come back again tomorrow for details on the online promo.
