A big portion of
the Bataan Death March 102km Ultra is night time running.
In fact, the BDM 102 Ultra starts at night
(10 pm) in Bataan. Thus, it is
imperative that BDM runners are extra careful. One of the Race Rules of the
Race Director (Bald Runner) of BDM reads as follow:
“During night
time running, runners should wear “reflectorized” vest or wear
“reflectorized” strips on their running apparel. Obviously, runners should also
be using headlights and hand-held flashlight. Runners without these item/s will
not be allowed to participate in the event.”
Given this
directive from the good General, I purchased today from Planet Sports in
Alabang Town Center the latest product from Headware (www.theheadware.com). It is the Reflector Headware. It is your basic headware with a crucial
addition: can’t miss it’ sized strip of
durable reflective material from 3M Scotchlite.
Unlike the
reflectorized vest, I think I would like this Reflector Headware as it would
not be as obstrusive to my running as
the “reflectorized” vest. Plus, the color I choose, the Blue Flare, matches quite well my runnin8 m3n shirt from
ARC.
Time to test it
in my night and early morning runs. Time to look good and safe in our night
ops.
