excited? ;)
@ed
based on quick inquiry, try visiting this link po —
https://adidaskingoftheroad.com/ph/index.php?page=en_trophiesandprizemoney
hope this helps!
@ed & Ms. Mars; all finishers in all categories are gonna receive a medal.
looks like two sided mga medals. same on one side and different KMs on the other?
am i right?
thanks ms_mars… it helps.. okay na ako sa 5km.. hehehe..
nadagdag na ba sa list ang rob ermita?! parang may nabasa akong ganun kanina..
@barefootdaves.. once registered on an on-site registration pati pag register online meron bang ibibigay na stab for claiming ng race kits sa oct10-12?
@ed, you need to bring a copy of the confirmation email and a valid id upon claiming your race kit =)
JOINED!….. excited for 16.8K. what’s the reason why mas expensive 16.8K sa 21K?
ang mahal naman nito!di na!!!
how about registration in Adidas outlet stores? is it also extended?
hirap mag-register online
daming checheboreche…till now wala pa yung confirmation email ko, i dunno what happened. Hopefully di masayang yung binayad ko haizzz :(
when is the last day of registration??
additional slot nman sa 21k pls.
just wondering: i checked d sample singlet @ gateway mall. Did all of u n0tice d logo of adidas kotr? It seems that a drawing is a man that is hurrying to go to ofice wearing pants and forget to bring his atachi case!! Nxt time just edit the drawing with a man truly running in form.
pwede pbang mag register???
Presyo ba ang pinag-uusapan dito. Ang chi-cheap niyo ha. Kung iskwater ang bayad niyo, iskwater run din ang takbo niyo.
You should know that people pay a premium for prestige and quality. And weed out the wannabees.
Let us stop joining expensive run. Registration Fees beyond P600.00 is not reasonable considering that most runs are sponsored by big companies. Tsk! tsk! Saan pumupunta ang mga pera dito.
I do hope that every runner who successfully registered will feel that they are really KINGs (and Queens) of the Road on the day of the race. Otherwise, this will be my last KOTR Run. I commend the comment of concerned but Andrew Lao also got a point.
Tapos mag-agawan ulit sa energy drink (Just like what happened in NBA Fit Run – my worst run. Madami pang freebies. Isang mineral water at dalawang shampoo na tig-5 pesos.may GATORADE pero makikipag-agawan ka muna. lolz). King and Queen nga… Peace to all…
nike & adidas – parehong mahal “, hehehe “,
21k finishers may finisher shirt ba?
or medal lang :(
nice,, mahal nman,, and bkt mas mahal ung 16.8k?
bakit mahal ang 16.8 k kesa sa 21 km… heheh
pano kung iba mag claim ng kits namin, kailangan ba naming gumawa ng authorization letter? thanks
excited na ko sa 21k,,,
http://www.adidaskingoftheroad.com not working … pls update.. going to register my vip registration code…thanks
CLOSE NA BA REGISTRATION?
WHEN IS LAST DAY OF REG?
from runrio.com
aDIDAS extended registration and made available both its aDIDAS Greenbelt 3 and Trinoma stores for KOTR 2011 on-site registration from October 2 to 8. Cash payment is available when you register in these stores.
what shall i do, the confirmation of KOTR rub at my email was erase, what shall i do.. pls… advice me and help me
@eliza, will check, but try to drop by sa kick-off nalang and bring ID, i’m sure if you are registered, they have your name on it
Nkuha ko na ung singlet at 2 loot bags knina.. kulay blue ung singlet ko..hihih
Nakuha ko na rin race kit ko. Grabe, ang gaganda ng mga singlet. Lahat ng kulay, maganda. Ganda pa ng tela. Malambot.
I can’t wait get my race kit tomorrow (Oct. 11, 2011)para kasabay na ng Race kit ng Nike Run. I can’t wait to see mine. I hope that my wish color will be the available color of the singlet. Wait for my comment tomorrow… Run safe!
sino sa inyo jan pwede makipagpalit ng SINGLET??? LARGE kasi ung nakuha kong SINGLET for male, maluwag sa kin, BLUE/ORANGE ang kulay,,, ang bagay sa kin MEDIUM lang,,, so guys baka meron sa inyo jan may gusto maki pagpalit ng SINGLET, text me 09193255927
Good news: I got my Bib with my name on it. Also, I have my desired color of Singlet (Collegiate Blue).
Bad news: Size Small is still big for me. I still have to alter it before the race.
got my race kit last night, +party party!!! thanks to adidas, kaya lang 2XL orange yellow, ayaw palitan.
lahat ganda ng color and fabrics used….
bakit nga pala mas mahal ang 16.8K
the kotr oct 23 is near, i haven’t receive my race kit…where is now????
the kotr oct 23 is near, i haven’t receive my race kit…where is it now????
go to nbc tent till 11:00pm now.get ur singlet at mabilis lang 5mins u get na agad.so organized cla good job u guys!
I don’t see the logic why Adidas KOTR 2011 singlets are available at the lobby and anyone can buy it. What and where is the prestige of wearing it for those who really join the race and who successfully registered the tough process of registration.
Run safe!
@norms
Indeed. It was fast. Good thing that we went there (NBC Tent) not on the first day. But accdg. to some of my friends who went there during the first day. It was horrible. NFA rice daw po ang pila sa dami ng kumukuha. Buti na lang nagpa-late tayo ng konti. I went there yesterday to claim my KOTR singlet as well as the Nike Run tee.
running you very soon 16.8K!
kita kts on the KOTR road… ;)
ganda ng singlet….nag sale pa.. he he he i got my wife the singlet na for women… ganda … tatlo ang kulay… ayaw nilang palitan ng smaller size yung singlet ko kaya bumili na lang ako… 500 lang naman… got the singlet color and size that i want…he he he… ganda…at mura pa…c u guys

Hi! I have a men’s yellow green/blue singlet size small. I chose the wrong size for my boyfriend — he needs an XS one pala. Would anyone have one and be willing to swap? Message me at 0920-9290519 or 0917-5077408. Thanks.

@Tint: There’s no XS for men.
@Ryan — I double-checked nga and there isn’t. Thank you.
how can we know what wave are we in? for 21k and 5k category
@kristian Your “wave” will depend entirely on you and what time you’ll be at the venue. Big races like this tend to have a LOT of participants, hence, the “waves” or batches of runners who start at different times (usually at 5 or ten minute intervals) to prevent crowding of the race route I guess. So if you’re in the venue early and are in the assembly area early, you can probably join the first wave. If you come in a little later and don’t mind starting a little later too, then join the third wave. Really depends on you. :)
@kristian
Assembly Time: 4:00am
Gun Start:
21k
5:00am
16.8k
5:30am wave 1
5:35am wave 2
5k
5:50am wave 1
5:55am wave 2
6:00am wave 3

is it still possible to change singlet size? from S to XS?
KOTR… I will never forget this, nice event, sufficient hydration, fine weather, I was able to talk and see a lot of runners (friends). But what makes this run special to me? Well this is my first HALF MARATHON RUN (21K). Katakot at first, without training and running buddy. my target is to finish it 2hrs and 45mins, but I was able to cross the line shorter than that, (pumila pa ako sa portalet during the run) ehehehe ang saya ko lang… =) Sulit ang pagligo ko sa sariling pawis.
Hi apple, saw you last sunday, gratz to your 1st 21k, keep it up!….
really @ carl james? thanks.. hit me back sa fb, katuwa naman you saw me =)
@apple yeah, your pretty serious while running, your like in the zone! i just realized that if you want a running buddy, it would be great if i will be your running buddy
