1 CORI ZAMBOANGA

From 1 to 6, now an additional 3 on the roster of our Official 1CZ Marathoners! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🔥

In just 10 months, we’ve grown from a handful of marathoners to a stronger and growing roster. This only shows that our 1CZ family continues to grow—not just in numbers, but in courage, discipline, and determination to take on the 42KM challenge.

A special shoutout to Ma’am Rarah, the only female in our current roster of marathoners! Your strength, grit, and courage are truly inspiring. May you continue to be an inspiration to more women in our community to believe that they, too, can conquer the marathon distance. ❤️🔥

This is only the beginning. Next year, there will be more! More runners, more stories, more finish lines to conquer—together as 1CZ. 💪🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Run the Race. Keep the Faith. 🙏❤️🔥

Each of you comes to this race with your own goals, your own preparation, and your own reason for being at the starting line. And when the race begins, remember that you don't have to chase anyone else's pace or measure your journey against someone else's.

Our Team Lovers — 𝗥𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗵 & 𝗞𝗶𝗺 are ready to take on the 𝗭𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗮 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻!

On this day, you’re not just running 𝟰𝟮.𝟭𝟵𝟱 𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀. You’re carrying with you all the hard days, early mornings, tired legs, sacrifices, doubts, and dreams that brought you to this starting line.

There will be moments when your legs feel heavy. There will be kilometers when your pace isn’t what you hoped for. And there may come a point when your mind tells you to slow down or stop.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀, 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀: 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴.

If you need to walk, walk.
If you need to take a deep breath, take it.

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴.💪❤️‍🔥

Don't worry about the pace. Don't worry about the clock. Don't worry about whether you're hitting a PR.

Today is about 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱.

Whatever your pace, your journey is already something to be proud of.
Run with your heart.
Run with courage.
Run for each other.
And most importantly, 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿.👫❤️

We’ll be cheering for every step, every kilometer, and every moment until you cross that finish line.

Our 𝟭𝗖𝗭 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 are set to take on the 𝗗𝗶𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻—one more long road, one more test of endurance, and one more opportunity to finish what they started.

Different goals. Different PRs. Different training journeys. Some may come prepared, some may come carrying doubts, aches, and unfinished training—but we all share one destination: 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲.🏁

Because a marathon is not always about how fast you finish. Sometimes, it’s about how you keep moving when the body says stop, how you hold on when the road gets difficult, and how you continue one stride at a time.
