Registration:
Available at SMDC residences, the Quezon City Hall and select Mizuno branches.
Race Kit:
Includes race bib with the time chip attached to it, ad inserts, literature about the rules and regulations of the race, and a running shirt. I'm not a fan of the shirt. Though it's comfortable, I personally prefer sleeveless tops when running, and I didn't like the design so much this year, so I wore last year's singlet (which is one of my favorite singlets because of its good material).
Race:
The QCIM organizers used the same route as last year, and for the 10 km route, it was good and simple. For the 21 km and 42 route, and what's unique about it is the bit of it that passes through the Eco Park (La Mesa Dam). Part of it meant that you had to go through a village wherein belt bags were not allowed, a policy that doesn't make sense to me if I may add, so if you were conscious about your time, it would've been a hassle to leave and later look for and pick it up again. However, the scenery in the Eco Park would've made it all worthwhile.
Program:
The races began a little past 4 am for the full and half marathoners. The 10 km runners began shortly before 6am. As the runners were rolling in to the activity area, the hosts reminded the participants that in order to claim the raffle prize, the winner must be present to claim it from them. The raffle was announced to be drawn at 11am. Seriously. I did not bother turning in my raffle stub (which was attached to the singlet).
