Well, this is it runners!!!! February 27, 2011 is EDSA Run.

I am a member of "I am Ninoy Runners" since it started two years ago. I believe in the cause of the group, to help the less fortunate.

Mizuno Infinity 2009

In 2009, the group tied up with 57-75 Movement, a private sector led initiative to reverse the public education crisis in the Philippines. The Iamninoy runners are hoping to raise funds to help children to stay in school, enhance literacy and to improve test performances.

The first official iamninoy run was held on August, 2009

This year, the Iamninoy became, Iamninoy-Iamcory Runners.

On February 27, the EDSA Run is one of the activities of the Ninoy & Cory Aquino Foundation, together with the iamninoy-iamcory runners group in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the People Power Revolution. The proceeds of the run will help the Department of Education raise funds to build classrooms nationwide. On this day, as you take part of the run, the lives of many school children will be changed simply because you signed up and decided to be heroes; because runners ca make a difference.

RELMR Bib and Race Course (run in 7 hours)

• In this category, there will be only one winner, that is the ultimate runner who has covered the longest distance in a span of seven (7) hours. You must run around a much longer area and distance of one lap approximately 2.5km.
• There will be distance markers positioned at intervals of 100m around the perimeter of the route to provide the approximate distance covered.
• LMR participants will be handed out with different colored strings each time they pass the checkpoint on the race course perimeter. These strings will determine the number of laps each runner has covered. As a redundant check, there will be 4 race judges who will be positioned separately at the four corners of the course perimeter. They will record the respective bib number of the LMR participants as they pass them.
• At no time during the race, a Rogin-E LMR contender will be allowed to stop except for the following cases: (a) for lavatory break (b) to drink at hydration stations, and (c) to fix running gear/apparel. Any other reason for stopping will subject the LMR contender for disqualification.
• A LMR participant has the option to withdraw from the race at any time during the 7-period. Upon withdrawal all colored strings given during his/her participation in the race will be collected by the most proximate race marshal.
• All participants of Rogin-E LMR must maintain the corresponding minimum pace at the followingportions of the race period.

Ø 1^st two (2) hours – 6mins/km

Ø 2^nd two (2) hours – 7mins/km

Ø 3^rd two (2) hours – 8mins/km

Ø Last hour - 9mins/km.

This will be monitored by red shirt wearing pacers who will be running alongside the participants. All participants who will be unable to maintain the minimum pace will be swept off the course by roving as well as strategically located (at every 50m along the course) race marshals. Aside from this, the pacers will also be given the same colored strings at each pass at the checkpoint. Any participant who will be wearing one less string compared to the pacers and are passed by the latter will also be swept off the course.

• All swept contenders of the Rogin-E LMR will have to surrender their strings to the designated race marshals once they are taken out of the race.
• At exactly 7 hours after gunstart, all race marshals will simultaneously blow their whistles to signal the end of the endurance race. All participants of the Rogin-E LMR who are still in contention will be assisted right away by the most proximate race marshal. His/Her race bib number and exact location (from the nearest distance marker) will then be recorded and subsequently submitted to the chief race judge to determine The Rogin-E Last Man Running.
