CHANGE IN START/FINISH AREA
Hello Timex Runners!
With the holidays fast approaching, more and more events are being scheduled in Bonifacio Global City. Based on our recent meeting with Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation, we have been advised that fun run events scheduled in the next coming months will have to be slightly relocated in order to accommodate other events. In line with this, we would like to inform everyone that there will be some minor changes with regards to the location of the start/finish area and the 3km race route of the 2009 Timex Run. Please take note that the start/finish area has been moved from 8th Avenue to 28th Avenue. This is the same set up as the Adidas King of the Road held last October 25. Rest assured that although there will be some rerouting with regards to the 3km race route, this minor adjustment will not greatly affect that of the other distances. To view the updated route maps for 3km, 5km, 10km, and 21km, please visit www.runrio.com
Our apologies for any inconvenience this might cause. Thank you for your kind understanding.
