Race Information and Mechanics

1. Date and Venue: August 12, 2010, Thursday at Quirino Grandstand, Roxas Blvd., Manila.

2. Assembly time: Assembly starts at 5:00am. Please make sure that you are checked in by the race marshals before the race. The race officially starts at 6:00am. Only those who have officially registered, signed and submitted the waiver and checked in properly are entitled to win the race.

3. Race Category: The race is composed of 2 categories (3K and 5K). Runners may choose to participate in any ONE category only.

4. Baggage Booth: There will be a baggage booth located near the start/finish area. The race organizers will assume no responsibility for loss and or damage of items checked in.

5. Aid Stations: Water is available at the start and every 1.5 kilometers then. There will be (2 to 3) aid stations on the course where water and medical assistance will be available. To keep the aid stations from being congested, continue on the last table and ¬please keep moving.

Warning - Inadequate training, failure to pace, and disregard for the importance of taking liquid has resulted in life-threatening conditions such as heatstroke in both experienced and first time road runners. If this is your first race or first experience in warm, humid climate, take fluids at each of our aid stations. Should you experience difficulties, stop and ask for advice or assistance from the medical personnel at the aid station before continuing.

Finish Line – Upon crossing the line, you will be timed and directed into a chute where the bar code tags on your number WILL BE REMOVED. Move through the chute as quickly as possible but do not pass other runners. Please do not talk to the timers while the race is in progress as distraction can cause errors to be made. Please exit as soon as you are able. Once you have passed through the finish area, do not return. Be courteous and make room for other finishers. The finish line and all support services will be close 10:00am.

6. Runner number and Shirts: Shirts with the runner number positioned front top center, must be worn throughout the race. The number MUST be visible at all times. NO EXCEPTIONS will be allowed. Runner numbers are not transferable. You and the runner wearing your number will be disqualified. NUMBERS CANNOT BE PICKED UP ON RACE DAY.

DO NOT CUT OR FOLD YOUR NUMBER IN ANYWAY. DO NOT REMOVE THE TAG OF YOUR NUMBER. YOUR NUMBER WILL BE MARKED AND TAG REMOVED AT THE FINISH LINE.

7. Checkpoints: Your number will be recorded at several checkpoints along the course. Make sure your runner’s number is clearly visible. You may be disqualified if there is no record of you passing through the checkpoints.

8. Race Curfew: Each race category has its own official curfew. Race marshals will pick up participants who fail to finish the race within allotted time.

9. Drug Testing: Athletes who participate in this race may be subjected to drug testing in accordance with the PATAFA rules and the IAAF Rule 144. Athletes found positive for banned substances, or who refuse to be tested will be disqualified from this event, and will lose eligibly for future competitions. Some prescriptions and over the counter medication contain banned substances.

10. Protests: Protests related to actions of any race official runner will be accepted only in written form. We will not respond to verbal protest.

11. THE ORGANIZING COMMITTEE RESERVES THE RIGHT TO WITHRAW ANY PARTICIPANT PRIOR TO OR DURING THE RACE.

12. THE ORGANIZING COMMITTEE RESERVES THE RIGHT TO ALTER ANY OF THE RULES PRIOR TO THE START OF THE EVENT. IF SO, NOTICES WILL APPEAR IN THE MAJOR NEWSPAPERS

Astig di ba? May drug testing pa. And look at the warning (see above in red)! Hmmm… Well, let’s respect the distance (3K and 5K). Lastly, may checkpoints at curfew din! Seryosohan diba? Sali na!
