MILO® Marathon Website is UpMonday, 14 June 2010 By Jaymie Pizarro Woah, MILO® is pulling out all the stops to hype up the upcoming marathon on July 4, 2010. To be honest with you, it’s working for me! As a graphic designer, I’m a sucker for well thought out and creative concepts, even more for incredible and eye-catching designs. If you’ve got both, plus the budget to have the world see it, then that’s wonderful. I posted the MILO® Marathon poster last week. Click HERE to view. Notice how the two posters are related?! Awesome. Only yesterday, their website was launched as well…
– What a pleasant surprise. They asked me to write a short note and I found it posted on the website - I vote for MILO® Marathon website as the best race website so far. Followed closely by Condura Run 2010. Any other good ones you liked? GREAT TV AD…AND ADVOCACY And, they have a TV ad, too! Love how the TV ad tugs at your heart strings. One can actually feel good just registering for the race knowing that you’re giving shoes to school children by running.
I registered last week for MILO® half marathon and training has officially begun! (If you read my post last week about slowing down, whoops, disregard it. I knew I couldn’t stop running for too long. Perhaps many of you knew that, too!) MILO®, here I come! OLD DOGS I think it’s great that MILO® Marathon is showing an attempt to innovate not just with the promotion of the race, but with the race itself. Last year, they implemented timing chips. This year, they have qualifying times per age category. And, F-I-N-A-L-L-Y we all don’t have to travel all the way to Greenhills to register! Last year, pleased with the MILO® Marathon Finals, I had this to say about MILO® “You can teach an old dog new tricks.” I believe I was right. Perhaps by July 2010, I may just call them “The new old kid on the block.”

The MILO® Marathon – a must run raceFriday, 11 June 2010 By Jaymie Pizarro The MILO® Marathon is a must run race for me. It is one of the longest running events in the country gathering a multitude of runners with various backgrounds and experience. It’s almost a tradition for serious runners to join the MILO® Marathon. If you miss it, it’s like skipping Christmas! This July 4, I am looking forward to joining---yet again---the vast sea of green runners along Roxas Boulevard. Being a major event, I’m training a little bit harder for my half marathon and I hope to achieve my personal goals. This year, however, MILO® gave me even more reason to register for the race. I heard that, through this race, MILO® will be donating shoes to school children. I’m a big believer in running for a reason bigger than ourselves. Sure, we run to lose weight, keep fit, or relieve stress. But, we can also use running to make a positive contribution to the community. This is one sure way to put more meaning to my Milo half marathon this year. Congratulations to MILO® for its 34th year of MILO® Marathon! With all the shoes you’ll be giving to kids, it’ll truly be like Christmas in July for them.
