IRU 2025 Medal Update
To our dear IRU 2025 Runners,
We’d like to share a sincere update regarding the IRU 2025 medals. After continuous coordination with our Chinese courier, we’ve been informed that they are still waiting for Customs clearance for the reopening of the warehouse that was padlocked by the Bureau of Customs last September 3. Unfortunately, because the warehouse was sealed, our medals were among those affected and was not shipped out by CaPex.
To help move things forward, we have set a firm deadline until the end of this month for the courier to secure the release. If by then there is no progress, we will proceed with reordering the medals directly from our trusted supplier. This will follow the same timeline we previously shared:
📦 15 days production
✈️ 1 week Air Freight (China to Manila)
✈️ 1 week Manila to CDO Air Freight
🎁 1 week sorting & distribution
We truly understand how meaningful these medals are - not just as race mementos but as symbols of your effort, perseverance, and victory. Please know that we share your eagerness and are doing our best to resolve this as quickly as possible.
We humbly ask for your continued patience and understanding as we work toward a final resolution. Rest assured that every step we take is aimed at ensuring that each of you receives the medal you rightfully earned.
From all of us in the IRU team, thank you for standing with us through this process. Your support and trust mean the world to us.
