33rd Milo Marathon Finals - Reinier Pacific / Takbo.ph Volunteer Aid Station

Reinier Pacific and Takbo.ph were the designated official volunteer Aid Station at the 33rd Milo National Marathon Final today 11Oct09.

The Aid Station was positioned along Sen.Gil Puyat Avenue just off the Chino Roces junction. Members from both groups were already manning the station by 04:30 ready to receive the 42k and 21k runners.

Much can be said from the experience gained by each member of the service team, however, we had only one unified wish and that was to be able to encourage, push, and welcome runners as they pass the aid station. We hope that our smiles and cheers were as refreshing as the bananas, apples, oranges, petroleum jelly and efficascent oil that were served and even to those that have requested the leg massage service, we hope to have given you a welcome relief.



Making sure that we leave the place as clean as it was before the servicing of the runners, trashes and litters were collected and bagged. At 830am with the traffic at Sen. Gil Puyat given the signal by the marshals to be opened, the Reinier Pacific / Takbo.ph Aid Station was closed.

Thank you to Nestle for allowing the group to be of service. And to all the runners, you were all winners in your own rights!
