Last night the awarding ceremony and get together party of the 2010 BDM 102 was staged at the AFP Clubhouse for all event participants composed of runners, support group, marshals, etc.  Sir Jovie “Baldrunner” Narcise also presented to all of us his observations and assessments of the race.

Surprises

Sponsors were also given tribute with smaller versions of the finisher’s trophy and a certificate of recognition.  As for finishers we were also given a treat: a “dog-tag.”

Have you heard the telltales of runners finishing the entire 102 kilometer course despite being beyond the cutoff time of 18 hours?  Well BR was quite generous and rewarded their hard work with a Finisher’s trophy and medal, although their medals don’t have rankings at the back.  Great job guys!

It really was a great night of celebration with overflowing food, drinks, and beer!  It was a great way to conclude this year’s events and of course for most of us our thoughts are going “150.”  24-hour support?
