It’s been three days since 584 finishers crossed the finish line of our 4th TBR Dream Marathon and I’m still on a high.

Every year, I feel blessed to be given the opportunity to witness runners cross that finish line ribbon and see for myself the power, beauty, and magic of a marathon all at once. There’s nothing like it. No words can express the spirit of the marathon, the transformation that occurs within each runner.

Hopefully, these photos will give you a glimpse of what some of our TBR Dreamers experienced that day. There will be more photos and, as is the tradition, marathon stories to be shared almost every week here on this blog from the runners themselves  with the hope of inspiring even more people to go for their marathon dream.

Enjoy and see how these people lived their dream. For more info, visit www.tbrdream.com

We asked our shirt designer, Monching of Team Norman & Team Triabetics and owner of TeamPh who is, incidentally, a participant of TBRDM 2013, to come up with a shirt for TBR Dream Team’s uniform for TBR Dream Marathon.

Crazy guy!  This is what he came up with.

Between you and me though, I looooove it!  You gotta admit. Somewhere between Km 35 to 41, this is what your mind is screaming!

P.S. No, we’re not printing them!

We always say that The Bull Runner Dream Marathon is not just about letting first-time or second-time marathoners reach their marathon dream. It is also about experienced marathoners being given the opportunity to give back to the running community, to give new runners the same support and motivation they received from others. To basically pay it forward.

If you are NOT a participant of TBR Dream Marathon, but you want to be a part of it. This is the way.
If you are NOT interested in running your own race and you are willing to set aside the time and effort to help others run 42km by providing them support, without receiving anything in return but a smile and a huge Thank You, then this could be your chance.

We are now accepting applicants for DREAM CHASERS and PACERS for TBR Dream Marathon 2013. We only have 60 slots for Dream Chasers and 50 slots for Pacers.
