Below is the 42km Course Map for TBR Dream Marathon on March 20, 2011.

The race will be held in NUVALI, Sta. Rosa, Laguna. The route will be a 21km loop x 2 all on paved roads within NUVALI. Roads will be well lit but runners who wish to bring headlamps or flashlights may do so.

DIRECTIONS:

Below is the same route map featuring the hydration stations, key stations, and Dream Chaser stations.

• Hydration stations will have water and Gatorade.  This will be placed at every 1.5 km of the route.
• Aid Stations will be placed at every other hydration station (approximately 3km).  These will have basic first aid kit, petroleum jelly (vs chafing), salt sachets, Tiger Tail foam roller (vs tight muscles), and Bodivance (for blood circulation and to battle cramps) manned by a nurse.
• Key Stations will have more stock of water and Gatorade.  These will also have sponges, ice, bananas, Cadbury Zip chocolates, and Tiger biscuits.
• Dream Chaser Stations will have 10-14 runners who will cheer you on and support you to get you through each kilometer.  Most of our Dream Chasers now are alumni of TBR Dream Batch 2010.  This time, they’ve gone the extra mile—literally and figuratively—to surprise you with super creative and unique ideas for each tent. I heard some have prepared music, cameras, and tons of food!
• Others:
  • Hammer Gels will be distributed at the assembly area at 1:30 AM.  They will also be placed near the 10km station and 21km station.  We have allocation of 3 gels per runner.
  • Kinesio Taping will be available before and during the race to be placed by certified professionals. Until supplies last.

To all TBR Dream Marathoners! Let’s meet up for a simple gathering to celebrate your successes from training and for us to wish you all the best before the big day.  Come and join us for our TBR Dream Marathon Send Off Party!

Last March 1, 2011, I was invited to attend the Runrio Trilogy 2011 Awards Night for all Runrio Trilogy participants who successfully finished the 21km/21km/32km in Legs 1, 2 and 3 of last year’s Trilogy of races, respectively.  As always, Runrio provided us with yet another well-organized event—even if this one was a semi-formal, sit-down dinner.

Imagine, the awardees received special Runrio medals and recognition onstage for running all three distances!  Aside from this, we were all treated to a fun-filled, entertaining programme with Philippine All-Stars and—the highlight of the event for me—6CycleMind performing Runrio’s new theme song, which I’m sure you’ll all be hearing at future Runrio events.  Let me warn you: it’s one of those Last Song Syndrome songs that you’ll be singing even in the shower after a Sunday morning race!

Thank you to Coach Rio and Runrio Team for a wonderful event!  This was a first for the local running community and I do hope you continue to surprise us in the coming years.  Thank you too for awarding me with the Hyper Blogger Award (even if I don’t consider myself “Hyper”!)  Next year, I hope to go onstage and have one of those Runrio Trilogy 2011 Medals on my neck!
