A: For manual registration, it will be given right away upon registration. For on-line registration done before the start of manual registration, it will be picked-up/delivered starting Oct 3. For on-line registrants you/or a representative should present their registration confirmation printout upon claiming of the kit.

Q: How do I get to the race venue?

A: The nearest and best place to park your vehicle is at the nearby MOA parking lots. The organizers will deploy non-uniformed security personnel to beef up safety in those areas. No parking will be allowed along the road as it will be towed by the MMDA right away.

A: Yes and it is only available only for race participants. Race participants should present their race bibs upon depositing and claiming their baggage. The baggage check-in will be open starting 6pm. Participants are advised to arrive earlier to deposit their bags to avoid delays. While utmost care and security will be observed, the organizers will not be responsible for any loss or damaged items or delays in retrieving bags.

Q: How do I use the issued Runningmate RFID timing chip?
A: The Runningmate RFID timing chip should be folded in half, cross-wise. The labeled part should be the top while the rear portion should be the one stapled on the top part of the race bib. See this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppfh5r1soSI&feature=related
