Adidas King of the Road [Update] – October 24, 2010

Timing chip that will help me improve my run? P850?!? A bit pricey for me. Any beneficiary? Finishers medal for 21k?

d b ksma ang adidas megamall???

Our company, Cebuana Lhuillier Insurance Solutions, Inc., would like to support and partner in this activity.

We would be glad to have a meeting with the organizers.

Thank you and best regards.

Ang mahal. But an Adidas shirt is about Php800 so I guess it’s like buying a shirt and paying for the other stuff – timing chip, timing band, buffet etc. A bit pricey, but it looks like it comes with a lot of stuff to compensate.

P850 is a steep price. Last year it was P500. This run is not friendly to those who earns minimum wage (P404). I will still join nonetheless. I just hope that it doesn’t become P1000 by next year

Maybe this time I will just watch the run and learn the unique style of runner while I spent my P850 for chitchiria. Pass muna ako mga bruder bibili na lang ako ng Adidas shirt sa 168

too expensive naman….

I checked Adidas’ facebook account and they said the fee includes the breakfast buffet, authentic Adidas singlet, timing chip, race medals and certificate for all categories.

I think those would justify the fee…It’s very pricey but I think it’s worth it if you compute it hehe

kelan pwd mag pa register??? sbi sa runnr wala pa daw sila.

Hi Air,

This was just a teaser info from Adidas, more information on how to register will sure to follow.

kelan registration?

when does registration start? and where? :)
Can’t wait!!

son,

based on the initial press release:
Running Kit will contain a unique black singlet that comes with a timing chip that ,a race bib, a reflective slap strap, race routes/maps, a timing band and guidelines, as well as a breakfast buffet

ang mahal,but we'd been waiting for this. We can't miss it..

Too add up, I think the singlets are original "Adidas made", right? :p

sir,

ano po mga include sa P850?, tnx

Better start saving na for this run! hehe…will definitely join :) Pls. post when and where can we register once you get the word from Adidas…thanks :)

ang mahal naman. adidas gamit kong running shoes pero alanganin akong sumali dito.

It’s really a bit pricey kaya mega save na me and my friend coz. this will be our first time in ADIDAS. Maybe we’ll be able to shower in water, kahit ayaw mo nang umiinom uubligahin ka ha ha ha!!! Sana masarap ang breakfast buffet.

definitely it’s pricey but I hope Adidas will not disappoint us!

See you guys..

hhmm… 850? pamahal ng pamahal ahh.. pangatlo ko na ang adidas… sna mganda ang singlet..

muka naman worth it. sana maganda singlet design. ok din to para sa mga nangangarap magkaroon ng medal na hindi kaya mag half-full marathon ;)

My fellow runners Iam sure the P850 is worth it! If its pricey then organizers doesn’t have a choice but to put their best foot forward and come up with a good race event, as they always say “you get what you pay for” :) And sa october pa more time to save and practice :)

P850 are you kidding me!? I don’t think the buffet will suffice. How can they guarantee accommodation for thousands of runners??? I don’t see how a timing chip can improve a person’s run either. Simply put, P850 does not cut it. I enjoyed the run last year, but this is just too much. Overprice na to ha? Sumbong ko kayo kay Noynoy dyan eh :P

To jerjer(#22)

True ba talaga na may medal din for categories lower than 21k? Naku finally magkaka-medal na yata ako….yehey!!!

in their facebook account, they mentioned that there will be medals for all distances

…don’t be a victim of a slow social life.

live your passion.
no excuses.
just RUN!!!

tatakbo ka na, magbabayad ka pa?

when is the start of registration?

@MAY, registration starts in mid- or end-September

to pinoy fitness, what is a reflective slap strap?? pardon my ignorance. ;)

hope to join this for my first half-mary, despite the steep price

pd dito magparegister sa Runnr Cebu…simultaneous ba yan?

hi weiwei_an, i suppose this is a reflective tape on a short strap that we can slap on our wrists for better visibility for motorists. got this from their facebook account “the Reflective slap/Strap will serve as your reflector during the race. This is because Gun start will commence very early around 5-ish”. hope this helps. good luck on your 21k race :)

When is the registration? :-) I’m excited! I’m working on doing my first 21K!

…kailan mag organize nang run dito sa Cebu?

ask ko lang po sa organizer ala ba kayong sched ng fun run dito sa davao city, i love running po noon pa nasa skul day pa po ako.thanks

SOBRANG MAHAL!!! Be reasonable enough please!!!!

sino organizer ng KOTR? tnx!

hi. I hope adidas organizer can read this since they are still in a planning stage. I always join the run almost every week but i have never wear any of the singlets. size is too small for my 2XL body. They have 2 XL size but it's not really 2XL. I hope they would consider this time the runners with big sizes. Btw, Ill be in UP Pump it Up run (my 15th run)and based on their singlets sizes from their website, their 2 XL is really for 2XL people. If ever, it would be my first singlet that I can wear during run…Please let adidas know my concern. I see a lot of runners every week who has not wearing the singlet so I assume, they too have same issue. Thanks.

Addidas store in Alabang Town Center does not accept registration… how come it is included in the participating stores in this site?

The most expensive run yet here in the Phil. I doubt the number of runners will surpass from last year’s.

But for sure the singlets are nice. I have collected 2 singlets. I will still join.

@pseudo barefoot runner… thanks for the info and the encouraging words!! :)

hope that you could post earlier the start of registration thank you… :)

adidas organizer, sana sulit yung magjojoin ng run nyo, paano naman yung di kya yung Php850.00, just make sure na maganda yung mga freebies…

but of course, masarap pa din ung pakiramdam kung sa longest category mo makukuha ung medal. 21k finisher’s medal still feels the best.

i wish they have a beneficiary for this. wouldnt you agree that if only it was for charity it wouldnt be as hard to pay 850. even if it is ridiculously oober expensive.

ano masasabi nyo sa last year na KOTR? ok ba sila mag organize ng mga takbo?

@tagal, heard that there was an issue in claiming the singlets

In fairness, too dear for the minimum wage earners, pero di namin palalampasin ang event na ito, since we love running. Inclusive kaya ito ng lootbag. Saka lahat ba, AS IN LAHAT PATI KULELAT RUNNERS like me ay entitled sa medal?

registration starts on September 24

tatakbo takbo tapos di naman afford magbayad ng P850…..
dun na lang kayo sa payatas dumpsite tumakbo libre pa!!!

I know sa 21k talagang meron but sa 10k din ba? oo nga, sino ba entitled sa medal? yung first 50 finishers or 100 or 200? Pano nga yung mga kulelat na tulad ko din na pang 201st or 301st??? LOL!!!!

i agree its a bit pricey. but me and my friends wanna join. :) we are going to run for the figaro. :)

My wife and I will join this race. It is still a long way to save from our earnings until the registration ends. I have high hopes for the medals' design as well as the design and quality of singlets. In totality, P850 is reasonable investment of every runner or feel sorry for letting this annual event pass by.

I will definitely save up for this event. If they can hold true to the quality of the race, then I guess the P850 would be worth it. So far all KOTR events have been great. There have been several running events this year which although the participation fees were cheap, turned out to be a real disappointment. Races did not start on time, distances were significantly inaccurate, no timing chip, unsafe race course, chaotic finishlines, not enough marshals, etc just to name a few. As they say, you get what you pay for.

And I’m sure everyone agrees that the Adidas KOTR singlets have always been of the best quality compared to that of other running events. Original Adidas fabric eh! Besides, I don’t join a lot of running events. Para makatipid, I save my money and join only those that have a good track record.

when you say buffet it means na pwedeng mag 2nd round? hehe. are 21K finisher will get the medal? baka dito ko tumakbo ng 21K for the first time, sana my medal lahat ng finisher.

hi po.. Has the registration for Adidas KOTR officially started? Been waiting for this.. thanks po..

@yna, registration starts on the 24th

feedback lng, ang mahal ng registration fee. although im joining, i agree its a rip off

no beneficiaries?!!

Ndi nga, no beneficiaries? :-O Yeah, mahal nga, I think enough lang ung 600 even with timing chip and buffet. Most expensive na run ko tong sasalihan in case :-/

Also, based on last year's run, ndi rin nmn masyado organized, mas ok pa rin ung mga runrio events. I hope KOTR improves this year, knowing the price is steep as well.

@vanessa, for a 5k pegged at P850 is definitely not cheap. i guess we are covering the expenses for the singlet

@Gdawg,

well yung last year's kotr is far from perfect din naman. daming issue sa pagregister and claiming of singlets. race day na marami pang walang singlets and nagkaubusan ng sizes. also, sablay din yung 5km event because hindi nasunod yung map and nalito yung marshalls. turned out almost 6k yung naging distance. pero syempre adidas pa rin eh so sali pa rin tayo. hehehe.

adidas and mayon trail run sched coincides, both oct 24, nonetheless, me and my friends will register to both runs.. we like the singlet pack of adidas though we will run for the mayon trail.. hehehe.. kudos!

Mga kasamahan kong tumatakbo hindi naman tayo pinipilit ng KOTR na tumakbo kung sa tingin niyo mahal yung registration may choice naman tayong hindi tumakbo. Pero kung talagang love niyo ang pagtakbo gagawa kayo ng paraan para makag-ipon ng P 850 o kaya tumakbo na lang kayo sa ibang lugar na walang bayad. Sobrang ganda nung singlet last year ang daming umaarbor pagsuot ko sana this year maganda din. Sana meron din registration sa Adidas Market! Market! salamat po

@jcd, magkano pala reg fee last year?

got my kit already but not too impressive for an 850 registration fee and i also did not received the reflective strap and the timing chip only the timing strap

are race kit available upon submission of registration form & the fee at the participating partners?

Thanks.

is there any online registration for this event? i think it's more convenient for the runners to register and pay online.

hi mamu, just wanna ask if where did u get the race kit? is it upon paying at the participating partners?

thanks

@jake, we immediately received the race packet upon registration

Hey! Somebody from an earlier query asked if the reg. fee can be paid via credit card, adidas glorietta said no, only cash payment.

Warning lang guys, avoid registering sa adidas the Mall of Asia, napakatanga ng nagaasikaso, at super bagal pa.

naghigpit pa sa waiver, kailangan daw ng ID, bago iprocess ang registration, pero later on sabi niya okay lang kung may ilagay na number (eh paano niya maveverify na tama ang nilagay na number). i don't see the point why they would make the registration process more difficult. the waiver is not valid any way pag may negligence sila.

@john virgino, Hi what's the no they are asking for?I also encountered a similar incident involving adidas glorietta, i was asking a very simple question of kung pwede humingi ng more that 1 reg. form, the store crew replied, hindi po pwede reservation, sabi ko humihingi lang ako ng reg form. Hay naku, this is like a sign of worse things to come up to the event, i hope not coz so far this is the most expensive running event i've joined in so far.

not so expensive run for me. I got my race kit for 100% free because of the adination of runners passport. Had my registration in ATC.

If you're registering for 5K and 10K, I advice you to proceed to Gateway. If you have bunch of applications that include 21 K, there are still race packs in Trinoma. There are no 21 K race packs in Gateway but there are still a few available ones in Trinoma. I just observed that the texture of the singlets is inferior to the ones on their shelves. If my finances would permit me so, I'll buy one blue adidas singlet and use it in the event. Anyway, I can still use it in my future runs.

just registered. i will have to agree with the rest that 800 just went to the singlet. i was expecting a nice time band but just saw a stick on strap **sigh**

the run packages were only delivered a few hours before the adidas boutique's opening so the stocks were not yet audited. the registration process was not organised **sigh**

oh well.. at least i'll be running on the 24th :)

some attests that there are still 21k race kits at eastwood. you may want to call their store

reg fee is too pricey. gone were the days when reg fees ranges from 250 to 350. is still there 21k slots available?

Hi Guys,

ASk ko lang kung meron pa lower than 21k?

Thanks,
RIck

Meron pa 10K and 5K sa Gateway.

@cecille, ID number or student number, pero okay na, nagapologize na ang management ng adidas, i wrote a formal complaint talaga

@john virgino. Hey tnx! Good thing you took action on that matter. Ang weird talaga to ask for an ID???? for what???? and you're right waiver of liability will not free them from any future negligence. He he, fearing of another Milo part 2 controversy……

@Alexskywalker. Is this the regular username that you use in the pinyofitness forum or just recently changed it???? Coz your tone of uncalled for yabang sounds familiar with another alexs i encountered before……

Im soo excited!! it’s my first time to run 10km. sana nga, hindi ako ma-disappoint dito unlike sa mga nauna kong run. :-) happy ang ganda ng singlet !

Hi, i would like to trade my KOTR LARGE singlet to MEDIUM. My wife got the wrong size when she registered me while i was out of the country.Please text or call… 09279768968… cheers!

Sana MarAMing giVe awaYs ang aDDidas?!\
and mGing maAyos ang FunRun?!

Looking to exchange my XL single (male) to Medium or Large. 09175058515

Super expensive!!!

i SUPER DUPER AGREE!!! with Cristy!! hindi rin pinag isipan ang singlet parang nag spray lang ng KOTR… not satisfied with it…

Yung singlet po ba fitted? Dati kasi sobrang luwag yung sa kili-kili.Specially sa girls para we don’t need to wear t-shirt.

i just hope that my 850 will all be worth it after the run…

are they still open for registration?

gateway is closed but libis is still open. however, they only have mens xl and 2xl singlet left. I still registered since you are not really required to wear the singlet as long as you wear your bib.. Would be nice if you wear the singlet too, but i cant wear xl .. too big :-)

any store na open pa for registration?
i’ve been to gateway and shangri-la — oh no! closed na. i’ve been calling to the hotlines kaso milo ang sumagot… argh! please please please! help poh for 2 slots for 5K. thanks in advance

libis.. madami pa daw

sa MOA open pa… kaso XL and XXL for men na lang at medium sa women…

Guys, isama nyo naman ako sa takbo nyo. Mag-isa lang ako sa event na ‘to. Hehe.

@dencio- oftentimes mag-isa din ako sa mga running event pero basta nag-eenjoy ka sa pagtakbo carry na yun….
