Please note some changes in registration for Run United:

– Last kilometer of my first marathon at QC International Marathon. The inspiration behind this event –

So, you’ve ran 5ks, then 10ks, and maybe a 21k…and now you want more.  You want what every serious runner dreams of: THE MARATHON. All 42.195km of it.

You want to join the elite club only 1/10th of 1% of the world ever does.

You want to test your limits.

You want to do something big in your life.

BUT…

You’re a beginner.  You don’t know what to expect, how to train, or who to consult.  Heck, you don’t even know which marathon to join!

Surprise surprise. We’ve dreamed up something for you: a unique and special marathon that will guide you every step of the way during training, one that will provide support and friendship like you’ve never experienced in a race before, one that will make the 42k journey as fun-filled, safe, and memorable as possible.

Soon: a marathon for beginners created by runners who remember the best of their first marathons and only want YOU to experience the same.

SAVE THE DATE: SATURDAY, MAY 22, 2010.

5 more days to register for one of the most anticipated race of the year: Condura Run for Dolphins. Registration ends on Sunday, 24 January 2010.  Click HERE to visit their website.

With the race coming up, I thought it would be good to repost an interview I did with the two brothers behind Condura Run, Ton and Patrick Concepcion.  This was from March 2009.  Click HERE.
