Heads up!!! A “Save the Date” for The Bull Runner Dream Marathon 2024 was posted on the @tbrdream Instagram page. The only detail shared is that registration opens in June for 1,000 runners only.

The Bull Runner (TBR) Dream Marathon is the first and only marathon in the world that caters to first- or second-time marathoners. In 2012 and 2013, Runners World Philippines recognized it as among the Top 10 Marathons in the Philippines.
This event is close to my heart. A decade ago, I finished my first full marathon as one of the “dreamers” in the 2013 edition of The Bull Runner Dream Marathon.

As their tagline reads, “You’ll never forget your first” rings true to me to this very day. This is where I met some of the best people while preparing and training for the full marathon for 6 months. We shared fun memories in that span of time, motivating and pushing each other to become the very best version of ourselves.

The Bull Runner Dream Marathon is not just another running event. It’s a celebration of running and life, as The Bull Runner says. I am thankful to be part of this event and I am looking forward to seeing another batch of first-time marathoners celebrate running with other TBR alumni who are paying it forward by being the “Dream Chasers” on the event day. I also have aspirations to be one of the Dream Chasers one day. Maybe next year will be my first time paying it forward. We’ll see!
