Chevrolet New Balance Power Run 25K Medallion
For those who are joining 25K in the Chevrolet New Balance Power Run, this is the prize at the finish line. Instead of a finisher’s medal, the 25K finishers gets a souvenir medallion. Here is how it looks like.
The medallion is doesn’t have a hole where you can string it and still make it into a medal. Although you can still frame it or even use it as a desk decoration. Some suggests that it works as a paper weight too. 😀
This is how it looks like in front. There’s the Chevy. So in case you don’t win the Chevrolet Cruze in the raffle, you still take home the Chevy thru the medal.
And this is how it looks at the back of the medallion. I like a medal or a medallion that specifies the distance. Here it reads “25K Souvenir Medallion.”
This is how thick it is. Quite heavy and will really look nice on the desk.
For the 25K runners, this is something to look forward to.
Are you training for this medallion?

hi jinoe. for runners who are training for QCIM or Milo Elims, better add this NB tune-up race in the program (together with november runrio 32K!)coz their timing is just right for the picking (peaking?). the medallion sounds fantastic if not downright unique and special in its class!!! I most definitely LIKE!
Hi Abet, I agree. This is a good distance to train for the 42Ks on December. Although I would hope I can run more than 30Ks by this time if I would join the QCIM or Milo 42K. Pero pwede na rin. 😀
i think it will look good as a belt buckle, hmmm.

if ever baka nga hindi mo kayanin.. (para sa’kin) kc yung distance na tinatakbo on your previous run eh.. prang warm up lng..
wag mong i-push yung sarili mo na tumakbo ng malayo ng dahil sa finisher medal o whatever pa yun.. ika nga ng mga fitness expert…
LISTEN YOUR HEART, LISTEN TO YOUR BODY.
opinion lng naman..
kung training area..
mas preferred yung may uphill and downhill para sa stamina.. taz try mo din uminom every 3-4km for endurance naman yun.. ayon yung tip nila para tumagal sa mahabang takbuhan.
Hindi naman sa sinasabi naming hindi mo kakayanin Kaysen.
Pero para hindi naman kontrabida ang dating namin, subukan mo tumakbo ng 3 hrs & 45 min (yan yung lowest cutoff di ba?) ng tuloy tuloy, o kung gusto mo, samahan mo na rin ng may halong lakad yun. Tapos sukatin mo yung distansiyang naabot mo sa ganung oras at tignan ano ang kondisyon ng katawan mo pagakatapos at sa kinabukasan.
Hindi biro yang distansyang balak mo gawin. Pinag eensayuhan yan at pinagbubuhusan ng panahon. Dadating ang araw aabot ka rin sa ganyan at baka nga mas malakas ka pa sa amin pag dating ng panahon, pero payong kaibigan lang, wag pwersahin ang katawan sa mga bagay nasa tamang panahon 🙂
Tulad ito sa isang tao na nagbuguhat ng 50lbs sa bench press na nagbabalak magbuhat ng 500lbs kaagad!
BHS pla…typographical error…
Ano kya qualifier time for the 25k? thanks
There is a cut off time for all events. But these looks reasonable even for a beginner.
5 KM – 1 hour after official gun start
10KM – 2 hours after official gun start
25KM – 3 hrs & 45 mins after official gun start
*Runners who fail to complete their respective distances within the specific cut off time must stop running and board the official pick-up vehicle. These runners will automatically be disqualified and will be taken directly to the finish venue.
