I had 3 friends who finished past 2:30 and they were still able to finish the race but medals were not sent to them. For last year, only 42K runners were given medals at the finishline. I believe for the 21K, the medals were all sent (for those finishing within cut-off) via mail 2 weeks after.<br />Doc RPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451052110908400655.post-79233270487080684402011-07-21T22:47:52.849+08:002011-07-21T22:47:52.849+08:00dennis, if i were in you sasali pa din ako. will ...dennis, if i were in you sasali pa din ako. will still try to hit the cutoff time. kapag hindi umabot eh di hindi umabot. ang tanong naman eh, paano kung umabot? wala naman mawawala ... calories lang :)Daveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02731543676126669863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451052110908400655.post-59515040855875192282011-07-21T12:58:59.527+08:002011-07-21T12:58:59.527+08:00Hi RF,

Most international city races have cut off times and the reasons therefore are not to intimidate race practitioners. Mostly it is because of the city traffic, they just can’t afford blocking major roads and intersections for half day till the last ‘fatty’ (just joking!) crossed the finishing line. Just imagine Hong Kong (like you mentioned) or New York roadsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451052110908400655.post-88161067984027672732011-07-19T12:20:54.653+08:002011-07-19T12:20:54.653+08:00hi guys,

It's the exact same course and no cut off time. So at least you will know whether cut off time is achievable or not..<br /><br />For 2:30 finish time, your pace per km should be at the most 7 mins, 6 seconds so you canRunning Fatboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04386217479797100861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451052110908400655.post-64284651235606326172011-07-19T10:51:26.528+08:002011-07-19T10:51:26.528+08:00Hello RF,

First I really don't mind about that since my only goal is to finish the race. But when I read the blog of Bald runner about the cut off time he said if there is a cut off time you need to finish it on said time.. Oooohh.. Big statement...

I finished my last 2 RunRio half marathons at just a bit under 3 hours, and the other at almost 3:25 and I still got the finisher's kit and medals from both, and my results were recorded.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15111423263458414788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451052110908400655.post-84097992010321417752011-07-18T06:40:57.776+08:002011-07-18T06:40:57.776+08:00hi dennis.

I have to say that the Milo medal from the ads looks splendid, and not having one for a medal collector as yourself (and for me too! hehe) would be sheer disappointment. With 2 weeks left before Milo, have you tried on putting more speed/tempo work in your training? Baka yun lang kelangan to improve on the 10-15min deficit that's preventing you to finish sub-2:30? :)<br /><br />daytripper1021https://www.blogger.com/profile/14840226330859305868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451052110908400655.post-61799557883888775122011-07-17T22:49:54.565+08:002011-07-17T22:49:54.565+08:00hi bee, good idea!
