The Corregidor International Half-Marathon

19-12-10

I missed cruising up to the point of cursing! Hmmm, well almost but not quite. Bottomline is, I missed experiencing a different kind of event launch altogether when I missed joining this event’s launch/presscon last Monday over Sun Cruises’ premier cruise ship. Oh well, some things are just really not meant to be.

But don’t fret with me folks, because cursing or not (hehe!), I am bringing to you the much-awaited event details of this year-ender race. And a word of advice – once you decide you want to join this, DO TRAIN FOR IT! Read on!
