Dear Registered Runners, Supporters, and Esteemed Stakeholders,
We hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits. In our commitment to delivering a memorable and seamless event experience, we find ourselves at a juncture requiring a critical decision that considers the well-being and satisfaction of all involved.
After thorough deliberation and in consultation with local authorities and event partners, we have decided to further postpone the Borbon Half Marathon, initially rescheduled for May 19, 2024. The new date for this cherished community event will be December 8, 2024, coinciding with the vibrant fiesta of Barangay Bili, Borbon, Cebu. This decision reflects our dedication to aligning the marathon with significant local festivities, thereby enhancing the cultural richness and communal participation of our event.
Understanding the impact of this change on your plans and preparations, we are implementing a comprehensive support strategy for our participants:
Refunds Available: Recognizing the inconvenience caused, we are offering full refunds to registrants who wish to withdraw their participation due to the schedule change. Details regarding the refund process will be communicated directly to all registered participants.
Registration Transfers: For those who remain excited to join us on the new date, rest assured, that your current registration will automatically be transferred to December 8, 2024. We are eager to welcome you and celebrate together during this special time.
Continuous Communication: We commit to keeping you informed and updated on any further developments. Our official social media channels, website, and direct communication lines will provide ongoing support and information.
We understand that adjustments like these come with their share of challenges. However, we are motivated by the opportunity to present an event that not only meets but exceeds expectations, set against the backdrop of Borbon's festive atmosphere.
For any questions, concerns, or further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us through our page or email us directly. Your feedback and inquiries are invaluable as we strive to enhance your event experience.

Dear Registered Runners and Supporters,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you and the organizing committee about a necessary change in plans regarding the upcoming Borbon Half Marathon event scheduled for December 17, 2023.

After careful consideration and evaluation of various factors, including unforeseen logistical challenges and the current circumstances, we believe that it is in the best interest of all participants and stakeholders to postpone the Fun Run to a later date. We understand that this decision may cause inconvenience, but we are committed to ensuring a successful and enjoyable event for everyone involved.

Therefore, we propose rescheduling the Fun Run to take place on May 19, 2024. This adjustment will allow us ample time to address any logistical issues, enhance the overall event experience, and promote the safety and well-being of all participants.
We understand that many individuals and organizations have committed time and resources to participate in the event, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause. We assure you that all efforts will be made to accommodate existing registrations, and we will work closely with our partners to make the transition as smooth as possible.

We will promptly update all promotional materials, including our social media channels, and any other communication platforms, to reflect the new date. Additionally, we will reach out to registered participants, sponsors, and volunteers to inform them of the change and address any concerns they may have.

We value the support and understanding of our participants, sponsors, and partners, and we are confident that this adjustment will result in a more successful and memorable event for everyone involved.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or require further information. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding in this matter.
