Condura Full Marathon – February 7, 2010

Patrick Concepcion just emailed one of the greatest running news I’ve ever read:

We are pleased to announce that the CONDURA RUN 2010 will be on Feb.07,2010 and will feature a full 42km marathon.

Route :

The route is being finalized but will go from the fort up kalayaan buendia up the SKYWAY all the way to the end at BICUTAN and u turn back to the fort.

The route shall also take marathoners to the on and off ramps of NAIA 3.

Condura is making the announcement this early so that runners can begin training as the event is 5 months away. A 4 man marathon relay is also being planned so that 10k runners can have the opportunity to run up the skyway.

Please post it in your calendar for 2010.

Thank you

This is going to be awesome! Probably the most anticipated race next year. I’m so excited already. Thank you very much Patrick for the advanced notice, so every aspiring marathoners could start training right away.

Initially I planned to go easy on this and enjoy all 42.2kilometers moment of it. But then again, February is a very cool time of the year – a great time for chasing marathon PR’s in Metro Manila. Last year’s Condura Half-Marathon wasn’t so tough at the skyway. The toughest part was back at the Kalayaan Flyover. The skyway is long but it isn’t that steep – it’s not hard as I’ve imagined. I think the course is going to be a lot easier than Milo 42K elims.

So in conclusion, I’m going to train well for this, though I’m not yet sure what time to aim for. For the rest of the runners who would like to attempt a sub-4hour marathon, you can read my article here: Keys to a Sub-4 Hour Marathon.

I do have one question to Sir Patrick – do we need to buy an E-Pass in advance, or is it going to be included in the race pack?
