Runrio Trilogy Leg 2 will be Run United 2 on August 21, 2011

I have been searching about the Runrio Trilogy Leg 2 which I learned through my Run United 1  2011 post-race kit flyer that it would be on August 28, 2011 as Run United 2. I was really curious about the schedule because I want to join all of the events of the trilogy for this year, but if Run United leg 2 will be on the 28th of August, I will not be able to make it because we will be in Cebu and Bohol from August 28-31 for out-of-town vacation.

But as I browse at the Pinoy Fitness site, I stumbled upon the August 21 schedule of RU2 and posted a comment there, but until now there was no good response. So I checked on the Runrio website and searched about leg 2 and viola! I found this article - Run United 2 will be on August 21, 2011! YES! And a re-usable timing chip will be used for the first time :-)

Here it goes...

Coach Rio dela Cruz and Unilab are very excited to announce that the Leg 2 of RunRio TrilogyUnilab’s Run United 2 scheduled on August 21, 2011.     is

As most running enthusiasts know,  Unilab races are now among the most popular events that runners look forward to.  Memorable for many reasons such as the filled-up loot bags, exciting race routes, and most especially for the race photo and certificate mailed to the participants.  

And for the RunRio Trilogy Leg 2 Run United 2, Coach Rio is proud to share that another race innovation will be introduced – - RunRio Reusable Timing chip.   As the first race organizer that brought in disposable timing chips in the Philippines, Coach Rio is again setting another first with the reusable timing chip for Run United 2.

All registered race participants in RunRio Trilogy 2 Run United 2 will be getting this reusable timing chip as part of the race kit. And here are more reasons to register for this August 21 event –

1.  Reusable timing chip holders will be prioritized for the Run United 3 with an exclusive 2-week registration period.   Non-holders will only be able to register for Run United 3 beginning on the third week.

2.  No need to purchase the reusable timing chip which will be the official timing device to be used at the Runrio Trilogy Leg 3 – Run United 3 race and soon, for future Runrio, Inc. races. (non-holders will have to purchase the chip upon registration).

Mark your race calendars and be sure to join RunRio Trilogy Leg 2 Run United 2.  Registration details will be announced in www.runrio.com.

Have fun running!

Just like during the 7th Birthday party of my niece-god daughter where I forgot to bring with me my digital camera, that's why I took all of the kid's pictures using my 2MP camera phone. I just love taking pictures, especially to happy moments and beautiful places.

Nuffnang and Hapee Special Screening

We all wanted to be top of the line - FIRST CLASS, in our career, profession, work, products or services that we offer. That we all strive hard, very hard to be first class.

And what makes Nuffnang first class? Nuffnang is Asia Pacific's first and leading blog advertising community!

Nuffnang currently has offices in four (4) countries- Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines and Australia. Their advertiser rollcall includes bluechips such as Citibank, Nokia, Sony, Proctor & Gamble, Nike, Nestle, and more!

Beyond blog advertising, Nuffnang also takes pride  for being a community for bloggers by bloggers, organising and supporting a wide range of blogger attended events like movie screenings, seminars/workshops, parties, and a lot more.

These are just some reasons why Nuffnang is FIRST CLASS.

Now, what makes Hapee first class? Hapee is the first Filipino-made toothpaste brand to ever penetrate the toothpaste market that has been dominated by multinational companies. And what makes Hapee and it's mother company, the Lamoiyan Corporation more admirable?

It is the fact that they employ hearing impaired Filipinos and also they help to provide free college education to several deaf-mute students through the Deaf Evangelistic Alliance Foundation, Inc. (DEAF).

And these are also just some reasons why Hapee is FIRST CLASS.
