My Heartfelt Thanks for the Success of The Rexona Run 2010 Posted by Rio on 06 August 2010

I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined The Rexona Run 2010, especially to those who sent their warm congratulations and words of praise. Despite the many glitches in our newly-implemented RunRio eRegistration System, the total number of registrants exceeded our expectations, thanks to the patience and understanding of each and every registrant while going through our new registration process. In all our RunRio events, we always strive to give our participants the best racing experience possible, from pre-event registration to race day execution, even if it means spending more just to secure your safety and enjoyment. Rest assured that there will be many more innovations and improvements to come in my upcoming races.

This event would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors: Rexona Men Sport Defence, Unilever, SM Mall of Asia, Powerade, Century Tuna, Unilab, Sun Broadband, Timex, ROX, Prudential Guarantee, and David’s Salon, alongside the selfless dedication of Team RunRio. My heart goes out to my project managers Louella Magro and Kaye Lopez, assistant race director Joar Calvadores, timing director Jonathan Teves, registration and manpower manager Merlyn Teves, and all our race marshals and traffic enforcers from MMDA, PNP, Pasay Traffic, and Paranaque traffic. Special thanks to SM Mall of Asia for implementing an effective parking scheme, which helped lessen the hassle of parking on race morning. Through our collective effort, we were able to execute another world-class race and we look forward to collaborating with them again for our future events.

My sincerest apologies for the miscommunication regarding the PhotoVendo online race photos. Free download is only available for 10K and 21K and it was only the PhotoVendo print-out that was complimentary to participants for all categories. We did our best to make your photo pick-up more convenient by providing 4 lines in the activity area. Free download was only a bonus feature for the 10K and 21K. We promise to do our best to communicate these details better to all of you in the future.

I also apologize about the last-minute detour along the 21K race route. It was an unfortunate turn-of-events because we had already procured the necessary permit to utilize the Marina area. The retraction of our permit the night before race day, at around 9pm, came as an unpleasant surprise. But thanks to my reliable head marshals, we were able to reroute quickly to compensate for the Marina section of the course. We will do our best not to let these unexpected revisions happen again.

I am happy to report that our new timing device, the Chronotrack D-Tag, was both efficient and effective in capturing the race results. There were still some difficulties, especially with regards to the latecomer, and in order to minimize these errors in the future, we kindly ask for your cooperation by coming at least an hour before your gun start. Not only will you not have problems finding a parking slot, but also you can rest assured that your finish time will be recorded accurately.

Again, many thanks to everyone who has made The Rexona Run 2010 a huge success. We look forward to your continued support in our future RunRio events.
