The Runrio Trilogy Awards Night

Friday, 4 March 2011  |  News + Promos

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!

GOOD NEWS: I just found out that The Bull Runner is/was a finalist in the 2008 Philippine Blog Awards 2 – Sports Category.  Among the 7 finalists, TBR was the only running blog. Woohoo!

BAD NEWS: The blog awards is tonight. I had no idea. I didn’t receive a notification nor an invitation—nothing. I wonder who won.
