Carrie: Lifeline Foundation's Run 4 Life

Kudos to the team behind Lifeline Foundation for organizing such a successful event. Din and I had a grand time. Below are the factors we observed in contributing to the event's success.
  • the weather was fair considering that it was already the rainy season
  • great venue and challenging race route
  • visible and energetic marshals
  • water stations strategically placed
  • ambulances were available and were there until the end of the race
  • on the spot race results
  • 350 registration fee was all worth it
As always there is a big room for improvement.
  • late gun start
  • no visible portalet
  • no kilometer markers
  • longer 5km route
  • shorter 10km route
  • inaccurate race result from runningmate.ph -- I received an email and sms regarding my race result only to find out that they have a different result compared with what I have with my Garmin 305. We are still in the process of discovering what went wrong. Will update regarding this matter soon.
Again, kudos to Lifeline Foundation and race director Edwin Tobias for a job well done. May the Foundation's missions help save more lives.
