When my kuya (Edison Maningat who just became an ultramarathoner after finishing 100km in 27.20hours in TNF100-CAmSur) finished his first Full Marathon (that's 42 kilometers) in The Bull Runner Dream Marathon 2010, I said to myself "I am definitely going to finish my first marathon in this same event maybe next year of the year after if im still here."
that time, I was one of those what they call "The Chasers" (supporters and cheerers).
it was a very well-organized run for first timers. there were cheerers everywhere, there was a bus which would fetch us supporters and bring us to a place where the runners would pass so that we would cheer for them, they were giving us away last pieces of papers and pens for us to write in them or make something for our runner and since the race starts at 2:00 in the morning, they would give free Starbucks coffee as we wait for the runners to arrive.
it was a great event for everyone!
