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.
Bull Session 4: Longest Run before the Big Day!
The week of FEB 21 to 27, 2011 is a major week for TBR Dream Marathon runners. Check out what Coach Jim Lafferty wrote in our TBR Dream Marathon training program…
On the Saturday of that week, February 26, 2011, we will be running BULL SESSION 4: our longest run before the big marathon day – 3 hours and 30 minutes or a minimum of 30k in our race course in our race course, NUVALI! It will essentially be our practice run before the big day. We are so excited for everyone!
To TBR Dream Marathoners, we look forward to seeing you at NUVALI! Some of our volunteers—Dream Chasers and Pacers—will be there to run with us, too! A few notes and reminders:
- Assembly is at 3:30 a.m. in Solenad Activity area.
- Briefing by Lit Onrubia at 4:00 a.m. and going into various groups
- Treat this as your practice run for the marathon: eat the same pre-race meal, wear your planned marathon attire and shoes, take the same gels and sportsdrinks
- Gatorade will be provided but bring your own hydration belts as well (the same belt you plan to use for the marathon)
- We will NOT run the entire race course but only a portion of it. We will run on 7km of NUVALI Blvd. and go back and forth to ensure that no one gets left behind during the entire run
- Restrooms available at Solenad, Evoliving, and portalets provided by NUVALI on the route
- Roads will be well lit
