For those who still don't know where the CICC is, it is that huge building that looks like a woman giving birth at the North Reclamation Area in Mandaue City. You can't miss it.

The Race Director, Raffy Uytiepo told the Marathon Foodie that the organizers wanted this run to feature something new, hence they thought of having a live band to entertain the runners at the start/ finish line.
The Marathon Foodie has a suggestion -- since the organizers are spa and wellness entrepreneurs, maybe you can provide free massage and hilot at the finish line too? Paging Sir Raffy! Hehehe.

Hi, thanks for the info..:-)
You're welcome Panda Girl!
I have observe that registration fee of runs are increasing, is this the effect of crisis? We, (Lexmark runners)had bad experience about this P200 registration fee, I recall sometime June (1st MAD run)which was organized by Barangay Lahug under Brgy. Capt. De los Santos until now most of us have'nt received our singlet.
I think Barangay Lahug ran out of singlets because they only expected 700 and over a thousand registered.
The fee pays for the professional fees of the race and technical director, marshalls, water, prices etc. It's hard to get sponsorships in Cebu, I heard, kay puro ex-deal dinhi, seldom lang cash. So operating expenses for the race comes from the reg. fees collected.
The Run for Sight Series, which is monthly run held at CDU only charges P50, but no singlet. =).
The first rock and run at CICC. There were some complaints regarding the amounts of prices that was distributed after the race. The 2nd placer in the 3k run only received Php300., and the 3rd placer in the 10K category for both men and women only received a check amounting to Php 1,500.
Hello Vard! Thanks for visiting the blog and for bringing this up. I had no idea these things were happening. I'll ask clarification from Raffy Uytiepo about the prizes.
