ING Running 20 – December 11, 2010

this is the first race that stepped into the 1k reg fee. pep squad should redeem themselves from the major booboos they did on hsbc run

why didn’t they make it 21K or a half mary instead of 20K. its an additional 1K na lang naman.

my god baka tipirain na naman nang pepsquad ito

i hope one can opt out from the nyc marathon raffle from the pseudo-half mary category

another Saturday run! =)

pwede kaya i-convert sa cash pag nanalo sa raffle?

@reydor, ayon sa raffle mechanics hindi sya convertible sa cash :(

pakipost naman ng pic nung singlet… please, ty

tama tinipid nyo pati prize ng 2nd to 3rd ni isang kusing wala kayong ibinigay eh nag effort din naman sila saka daapat for filipino citizen lang ang kasali

tama dapat talaga for filipino citizens lang kasi yung iba ginagawa ng sideline at dito lang sila nananalo pero sa olympic games kolelat mga k…..s u know what i mean.

dapat nga bawal na ibang nationalities kasi lagi ang k….s nananalo,dito lang naman cla panalo sa olympic kolelat mga k…s. ginagawa na nilang sideline e.para may chance naman mga filipinos mag ka premyo sa mga placer.

Mga insecure lang kayo kasi hindi nyo sila matalo. Hindi ba kayo motivated na mag-train para maunahan sila?

kindly post more info on this po. masyadong mahal ang reg fee. saka kapag nanalo ka ba sa raffle, sasagutin ng ING ang fare mo? di naman di ba? globe also sponsors HFHI pero 700 lang sila this year. wala lang giveaway pero ok naman ang race. supported din yun ng photovendo and finish line. ito kaya ING? i doubt kung maka-attract sila ng maraming participants…

@icecream:)
d naman sa ganun,siguro kung katulad namin sila ganun ka payat pwede siguro hehe:)

pero ayaw namin maging ganun ka payat, iba ang training nila, kaya magaling sila sa running pero d nila kaya pag triathlon,kasi kami not only running we do a lot of activities kaya d kami masyadong concentrate sa running.:)

pepsquad. u need to level up this time. sana natuto kayo sa HSBC run!
redeem yourselves PEPSquaD!

yeah right! sobrang tinipid ang HSBC fun run, malaki ang registration eh kahit conolation man lang eh di nagbigay.

At sana International runners will be allowed to join the higher category lang. yaan nyo sila maglaban-laban doon. Sa HSBC fun run kasi, 2 men and 2 women ang sumali na international runners, eh di sinakop na lahat ng first price sa 5k at 10k run. eh kugn sa 10k lang sila lahat, doon an magkaalaman.

@Malou
Parang sidikato yang mga yan eh, deni-dispatch nila kung sino-sino ang tatakbo sa team nila kung saan category para malaki chance nila manalo….

To those who have run PEP sponsored events, is this run worth going into?

run along the route with cars no safety pylons

@Jerome Allan
my experience with them during HSBC wasn’t really good. i was literally arguing with the people manning the finishers kit to fix their distribution. sabihan ba naman ako na pumila ako. long distance runners got penalized. swerte nila at hindi sumikat ang araw kundi nasunog lahat ng mga runners

i ran my 10k as fast as i can tapos pagka-haba habang pila ang inabutan ko. ung tubig sa finish line eh hindi ko na nakita. bukod sa natakpan na mga tao na nakapila eh nasa labas pa ito ng railings. uhaw na uhaw ako at hindi malaman kung paano makakainom agad. buti na lang me dala akong tubig. paano na ung iba?

if you want to enjoy this event better join their 3k or 5k lang para mauna tayo sa finish line

just check ask other participants and you’d get a similar sentiment.

@Pseudo Barefoot Runner & Beb
Ugh! I just want to run naman e pero if safety is compromised, never mind then. Its a long travel from Sta. Rosa & the least organizers can do is to treat their runners right after that physical demand. After all, yung natakbo naman ang hanapbuhay nila. I almost run that HSBC event pa naman. Was it a good thing I missed it? Looks like. Thanks for the info. Apat pa naman sana kaming tatakbo.

@Jerome,
if pep squad will do a good job here, sa next run na lang nila ako sasali. medyo sablay ung magkasunod na events nila

isa pa, useless makipag-talo sa mga tao nila kse hindi nila maintindihan ang point of view ng isang runner

nakikita ko na ang mangyayari, ung mga elite at kenyan eh maghihintay ng 2 oras. kse dapat lahat ng 20k runners eh matapos bago mag-start ung raffle

that reg fee is so high 1,000 that to much for a runner to pay for… can you post the design of singlet finisher t-shirt and medal ty

I hope they will do a good job here. It took me hours to get my finishers kit. Bakit kasi isa lang lang ang booth for that. Unlike pag runrio ang organizer pagkadami daming booth para sa loot bag at bawat category pa kaya di kailangan pumila ng mahaba. And isa pang concern ko is yun sign ng mga route ayusin nila. Sa HSBC run ilan sa mga kasama ko na 1st timer lang naligaw napasama sa mga 10K runners kasi walang clear direction unlike sa runrio completo talaga. So I hope this time di na maulit yun nangyari sa HSBC.

oopsss…scary to ah…pangit ang reviews sa org.ng run na ‘to..and +1 kay pseudo sa lahat ba naman ng mabibitin ka eh TUBIG pa after finishing the race!?!hahaha

@duckrunner, https://www.pinoyfitness.com/2010/11/ing-running-20-race-route-map-singlet-and-shirt-design/

yes, right, Runrio is a lot more organized than PEP squad. di na kelangan pumila sa baggage counter at sa finishers kit booths kasi bawat category may kanya-kanyang both at di lang iisa, kund 2 or 3 per category ang mga booths.

correct! sobrang mahal ang 1k registration fee. its not worth to join!

I had just joined the BGC fun run last November 27, organized by Runrio. It was worth the run! P400 lang registration fee for 3k, P500 naman sa 5k. And take note, wala na ung mga international runners doon, kaya lahat ng nanalo puro Filipino.

Next time join ako ulit!

Go Philippine runners! :)

alam nyo po bkit wala mga international runners sa BGC e nandun sila sa kaRungunan dahil dun me tumakbo! siyempre sila nagwagi!

by the way maganda ba sinklet nito?

my belated comment to HSBC 135 which can be your reference to a pepsquad organized event (this email i sent to pepsquad)… as I was in receipt of pepsquad’s invite to do ING 20 and in fact I did register for 20k

Hello and thanks for the invite to this run.

I think you were also the one who organized the HSBC run. The race results were obtained in a high tech manner, however, the run itself was poorly organized. I am still registering though because of the perks for a 20km run.
My observations on HSBC which you could improve on for the ING run, I mean come on your clients are multinationals doing great runs in other countries you should do better…

strategic positioning of hydration stations, you probably didn’t do an actual run on the route to know which side the runners would be running on, your stations, at least 3 of them for the 10k run which I did, were on the opposite side and such a waste of time if I have to unnecessarily go there losing precious seconds, i was so dehydrated during the run expecting some isotonic drink at the finish line and there was NONE
i was badly injured and could not regain my momentum on that first turn-around where you only had 1 marshall to cater to runners na nagmamadali and nagkabuhol buhol the yarn necklace, it was already on the road and while running at a speed of 10km per hour at the least I had to make a full stop to bend down and pick up that F*&King yarn necklace, it hurt my muscles pretty bad and from then on I slowed down, it was the worst finish I ever had
any energy food/drink should be distributed at the finish line or if there must be a booth, it must have a reasonable ratio of distributors vis-a-vis runners, or categorized into distance ran by the runner, fyi, the minerals from these food/drink are better absorbed within the first 15minutes after the run. For the HSBC run you gave us purified water despite loss of mineral salts and the distribution area for water had no proper directional signs. Worse, there were no isotonic drinks, i mean come on, your registration was expensive for you not to afford to give a drink or maybe bargain with your sponsors.

Loot distribution, I finished in 68 minutes more or less but you let me line up (standing up) for the loot for another 110 minutes, waiting time for the loot was longer than my run….when I got to the booth you only had Large size shirts, your bibs should have indicated the size of the shirts for claiming the size of the shirts so there is no size bargaining…I am 48kilos yet I got a large shirt, yeah big deal for me and yes the banana I got only after 2 hours….as mentioned minerals from food/drinks are better absorbed during the first 15 minutes after the run.

Please get inspiration from coach Rio’s events … that’s called professional

Now I paid 1000 for ING 20, I hope I get my money’s worth

SO SCRARY!!!! this saturday na ang ING run!IM AFRAID FOR PEPSQUAD! sana ayusin nila ang logistics, distribution of lootbags was the WORST last HSBC run!!!

to PepSquad: Daming negative comments about you so I hope you are reading all of these. This ING run I think will make or break you. I’m joining this so I hope everything gets better.

pressure pressure pressure….and +1 kay RunsNRoses..make or break ‘to..hehe

Please be informed that Registration for ING’s Running 20 on 11 December 2010, is extended until Friday,10 December, 2010

this is my 1st 20km run mahirap ang pag kulang ang water station… sana meron nga sya every 1.5km….

yes, the lootbag distribution for the HSBC run consumed more time than my time to finish the 5k run..

hi angel, yes you are correct!!! sana mag imporove na ang PEPsquad. Wait and see ako what will happen tomorrow! if still the same. DI na ako tatakbo pag pepsquad ang incharge!

may baggage counter po ba dito?

good luck to all participants! hope you’ll have a good run :)

Badtrip tong run na to… Di mo alam kung san ka pupunta. Ung mga organizers, tatanungin mo pa kung san ung way mo kc poor ung mga signs…
Tsktsk.. Dapat naniwala na ko sa mga comments dito

disaster run! Daming naligaw! Kulang sa marshals at signage. Kulang din sa ilaw sa first 1k run ng 5k. Pag pep squad talaga and galing sa kapalpakan!May isang marshall din na tinanong namin kung saan dederitso ang 5k run ang sagot niya ‘di ko po alam’ ???? May isa ding marshall na tinuro ako sa 10k route! Buti na lang may Isang runner na sinabihan ako na mag u-turn pabalik sa 5k route kasi daw naligaw na ako! tapos di nacontrol ng mga guards ang mga sasakyan, madami pang muntik mahagip na runners! DISASTER TALAGA!

pasama nang pasama ang organizing nang pepsquad. mukhang hindi nila tinitingnan mga bad comments sa hsbc heto na na man ING DISASTER.

Disaster talaga ito! Akala namin nasa 5K kami. Turns out kasama namin ang mga 10K at 20K runners! Napalayo pa kami! Ang kasama kong 1st time runner na-phobia na!

friend ko din naligaw .. he’s running 5k lang pero nasa 10k siya napadpad. He was also directed by a marshall on a wrong way. sabi niya may mga orgaizers daw dun na nagsisigawan kasi mali mali nga. And this is the first time I ran na sobrang dilim nung unang first 2km ko.. I ran for 10k

pag mag join tayo sa run silipin din natin ang organizer

ako din pala na ligaw. sa 10k wahahaha. 5k run

Mas alam pa ng mga traffic police ang route. HAHAHA!
