8. We will try our best to have this event sanctioned by PATAFA (even if PATAFA have not created a dedicated committee for ultra running events in the country). We sent e-mails to the International Association of Ultrarunners (IAU), an entity under the IAAF, for them to include this event in their race calendar for 2009 last month but we received no reply from them yet.
9. During the actual race event, we encourage each participant to have their support crew and pacer after Km Post #7. It could be the whole family in a car or van or friends on bicycles or motorcycles.
10. We will not remind you about “honesty” of running on the said ultra event. Please remember that you will not be cheating the race organizers but you will be cheating yourself. I firmly believe that ultramarathon runners are matured and decent breed of serious runners.
