First, the number of bridges was cut down to five -- Lambingan, Pandacan (2x), Nagtahan, and Ayala from more than 10 previously, as I understand it. Second, the slower participants will no longer have to court heat stroke running the killer stretch of C-5 and The Fort under the sun since that section will now be taken at dawn and the last half will be run in a built-up area which means shade from buildings and trees. Runners could get lost among the switchbacks of the Pandacan area though if there are not enough marshals in the area around the 35-kilometer mark.
