NATGEO Earth Day Run – April 10, 2011

..expensive plus walang timing chip yung 3k and 5k..pag iisipan ko muna to..

Negosyo na ito!!!

No for dis event..go yakult..

tatakbo ako kahit mahal… sa ngalan ng 1st running anniversary ko… sana may mga freebies…=)

@John: Good luck sir, yaman mo.

other option would be the baguio21k run….=)

ooouuuucccchhh!!! another 1K run for 10km and 21km.

run of the rich and fame! masyado naman mahal yan.

its also my 1st anniversary of joining races. Id love to join pero bakit ang mahal na? Il think abt it

sana tularan nyo dzmm & yakult

ito na nga ang sinasabi ko…naging standard na sa mga takbo na ito ang napakamahal na fees…GO NEGOSYO!

OO nga naman ang mahal… Tatakbo na lang ako mag isa kahit saan, at least ako lagi ang first finisher. Winner! (: lol

GO YAKULT PARIN!!!

registered na ako sa Baguio21K 500 lang ang 10K personalized pa ang Bib … :)

yan na nga, kapag laging tinatangkilik ang mga mahal na run…pamahalan. yun dating kinatatakutan, ngayon ang kaganapan…di magtatagal next year mga P2000 na yan kahit 3k lang.

sana tapatan ulit ito ng Earth Run na mura lang ang patakbo.

runners unite para rin sa atin ito kung walang kasabay takbo nalang tayo dun wag nalang paregister hehehehehehe

more details please.. singlet, finishers medal, gunstart and racemap. For the expensive registration fee, maybe i’ll cut my budget for cigarette and alcohol this month to compensate the running cost for this event.

most race organizers are jumping on the bandwagon of exorbitant reg fees including this one… equiv to 3 days salary of a minimum wage earner for a 21k race? really now…

i-boycott na to… ang mahal tpos walang timing chip… t#*!!!

Tsk Tsk, Biruin mo, kung apat na races na tulad nito ang hindi mo sasalihan, yung katapat ng value ng pera mo, isang pair of running shoes na maganda na ang equivalent. Pass muna ako dito, hahanap muna ako ng mas mura pero ok din ang quality ng race.

i remember that even last year, this was one of those bit expensive run i’ve joined

ginagawa na talagang negosyo ito. hindi na kalusugan ng katawan ang pinapairal ngayon ng karamihan sa mga running events… Kalusugan na ng BULSA. Ang BANGIS!!! Dapat ang Theme na katulad ng event na to eh “MONEY-on-EARTH DAY RUN” or “Takbo Para Malusog Aming mga BULSA”… Very Good!!! Next time gawin nyo nang P2,000.00 yung minimum fee o for 3km. Baka nga lugi pa kayo dito eh. Peace to all runners…

doon tayo sa yakult wak dito =)

I joined last year and i was very disappointed that we only had water in paper cups during the run. And after we finished the race, we had to buy our own drinks.

i remember last year sumali ako dito, mas mura ata reg fee ng kunti. Hindi ako satisfied sa service nila esp with their water stations, ung tubig ang pangit ng lasa. i got disappointed rin after finishing the race kc parang wala lang, tumakbo ka lang then that’s all it! umuwi ka na..hehehe! sorry po… maybe not this year besides may uphill run ako on the same day in Baguio:)

baket parang lahat ng takbo sa BGC.

wala na bang ibang venue. might pass muna. same venue kasi.

another option is bataan run for light of myshelter foundation! prize up to 7k for the 10k at 350 lang with singlet! san ka pa! google nyo run for light bataan

yung dzmm at yakult tig 300 lang ganyan lang sana kasabay pa takbo karylle at francine prieto saan pa kayo tatakbo ako dyan pero i will not register hahahahahahaha

yung camanaya nga 1100 lang free shuttle to mariveles bataan and back here in manila me sumptuos meal pa me fun games pa sa island whole day affair

same with bataan run for light. hintay lang ng announcement, parang free ang pabataan from 12nn to 10.30pm ng april 9, then pamanila free din 12nn to 6pm… hehe manila, baguio, pampanga, etc. haha

@runjj nice singlet?eco friendly ang theme nila. seen their ad in runnersrunner.com

Naku…pamahal na ng pamahal ang takbo ngayon. D malayong maging 1500 den mag 2k na yan..

sana me promo din silang 4+1 na promo tulad ng sa globe…sana nga lang

mahal compare sa takbo ng manileno. mura na ang ganda pa ng singlet. mas maganda kesa unilab =)

Huwow ang mahal naman!!! Kumikitang pangkabuhayan na eto!!! Good thing, registered na us for Baguio21K.

https://baguio21k.com/?page_id=174

we’re also planning to run in Baguio! change venue muna!

to the other runners, let’s be sensible in choosing our races…pwede naman pala magkaron ng mga takbo na di sky high ang fees, let’s support them :D

Guys, let’s support the DZMM Run or the Yakult 10-miler :) Mabuhay ang mga events na hindi pineperahan ang mga takbo :)

Ang mahal. Tsk. :/

@bert tama runners unite

@ bert, baka may alam ka reg. site na malapit lang sa south. i’m interested to join. tnx

I’m referring to DZMM run you’re campaigning Bert.

try this run para maiba naman Takbo.PH Night Fest – April 9, 2011

Sir, i suggest for this run event, there will be include of finishers medal for 21k, besides pra hnd cla manghinayang sa bbyaran nila…….

Personally, I joined this race since wala narin ibang 21KM runs. Yung Baguio21K sana kaso I’m not sure if I’ll be able to travel that far. Kalungkot lang kasi mahal, but I guess at least trophy naman ibibigay instead of the usual medal for 21K finishers (pasaway nga lang sa medal collection), at favorite channel ko naman Nat Geo eh… Pero after nito, ayaw ko na talaga patulan mga 21K na ganyan kamahal… Tama na yung Condura at Nat Geo, since yung Globe nga di ko na sinalihan eh.

Grabe mahal gusto ko pa nmn tumakbo huhuhuhu… please please please consider nyo ang mga wlang work… lahat gusto ma experience ang mga big run na tulad nito… wag nyo nmn sana gawin negosyo… to all runners sana pag isipan nyo bago kau mag register pra d tularan ng ibang organizer super mahal uhuhuhuhuhhuhu…

try emailing the “secretariat…”

no reply…

nag register ako online, while the system is processing my registration it says “your time has expired”, but i already entered my credit card number. then i registered again.

My friend has this experience, he registered online and the system failed 2x and on the 3rd time it went ok. But then when he received his credit card billing he found out that he was billed twice for the said registration and until now the organizer is not returning his payment yet(the 2nd try payment processing since the system failed).

I hope it wont happen to me.

for malen andrada: it happened to me! i stopped after 1st failure. onsite nlng para sure… hmp! i was about to register my hubby, goood thing I read this…

Grabe, ang taas ng presyo naman nito. :( wala pang timing device…

Bataan!!! ilac has new project.. isang litrong liwanag. Bot a umiilaw pero no electricity. solar daylight! ang galing. first run sa balanga bataan. RUN for light, april 10

gusto ko sanang mag join kaso nga sobrang mahal naman.. hanap na lang muna me ng murang takbo.

ask lang kung ano ung timing chip? thank you! i’d joined this last year, 500 lang ung 3k. tsk

hay naku! ang mahal na hindi pa organized!!!! nagparegister kami nung March 9, walabng available na size. The person manning the booth said that magde-deliver ng shirt sa tues, 15 March. Nung pinuntahan nung tues, wala pa din daw delivery. sa saturday na lang daw balikan baka may delivery na. ano ba yun! as if naman ang dami nilang sites na pagre-registeran, eh nag iisa!!!!! nde pa nila ilagay ang maraming T-shirt dun! yun na nga lang ang libre eh! KAINIS!

Attention all Runners that interested to register in Natgeo run. Wala na silang sizes ng T-shirt. I was so disappointed meron pang xxs na nakalagay sa size tapos after3 days ng online registration dapat magpunta ka na para kunin yung t-shirt tapos wala naman palan size. yung size small na tshirt eh duster na ang itsura kapag isinuot ko… san ka naman nanakita ng tumatakbo na naka suot ng duster.. Hindi na raw sila magkakaroon ng small sizes… bago ako nag bayad nagtanong pa ako kung meron pang sizes ang tshirt sabi sa akin meron pa basta 10K at 21… pinagkkakitaan na ngalng talag nila yang mga fun run ngayon… Yung gustong pang magregister mag isip isip muna kayo!

@sophi, nakakalungkot naman. they should have sufficient sizes for the runners. medyo maaga pa naman para maubusan sila

…though it’s still our choice to join or not to join…but we find it already expensive for the reg fee. how come?

wiw… nakapag reg na ako. tailor maid para sken ung size xs na singlet . . . . takbuhan na sa april 10. excited na ako

may contact number ba ung registration site? kasi malayo pa ako baka pag punta ko dun wala na sizes din.

anyone? thanks

may nalaman akong isa pang run sa april 10. sa McKinley Hill gagawin. BURN: U Rock, U Run ng UP Chemistry. 450 3k, 5k, 10k. dito na lang ako.

skipping this one… i prefer the night run on April 9… plus i find this too expensive as well… i know it’s my choice whether to join or not… it’s just that i feel we need to voice out that the fee is getting absurd…

@sophi..Naaliw naman ako sa description mo hehe..di bale hindi ka nagiisa! Ako rin ay naka daster na dilaw. First and last run ko ito with Natgeo.

@sophi. you are korek!!!! pag register mo, the people there will tell you dadating ang t-shirt on a certain date. then when you come back for it ang statement ay “wala na pong small sizes. XL na lang po ang available”. ano ba ito?!?!?!? nde ka na maka atras kasi nakabayad na. non-refundable ang bayad eh!

@Jojo Tabuzo Alberto, ung XS b nila is malaki pa rin compared sa normal size ng shirt?

Hay naku. nakakalungkot talaga itong natgeo na run. sana maipaalam sa natgeo ang nangyayari sa mga organizers dito.

perhaps we should send an email to [email protected] for your complaints

run with AH NIU. april 10, 2011, balanga bataan 4.30 am. register na! call/tx 09175020948

My first time. Yaay. I’m not joining for the singlet coz I don’t think they’ll have one in my size. 6’@255lbs = XXXXL. Their XL might not even fit my skeleton lol. I’ll join the 3k and do my usual routine of JOG>WALK>CRAWL.

@BlubberButt JOG>WALK>CRAWL…. LOL >:)

on sat they will have all sizes guys.be there nalang..kanina nakuha kolang 8 medium sa (5k)puro medium lang … sa (10k) ko L, XL,….. lang available…last stocks na ang darating sa sat sabi sa greenbelt 3…kainis pati sa uniform walng organized grrrrrrrrrrr….katulad ng condura nayan kase naman dapat mag palit na kyo ng suplier nyo natgeo …pinasasakit nyo ulo naming mga runners,,,,tapos yung texture ng singlet pang mahirap……..badtrip…mukang mga martial ang kulay ng 5k nyo kya yung ibang team ko nag 10K nlang baka daw kase mapagkamalan silang martial!!!!!!!!!

@barefootdaves – i emailed [email protected] already. walang reply man lang. ay sus!!!! dapat siguro sa natgeo talaga. i tried looking for a site where i can at least vent my disgust pero nde pa ako makahanap. baka din kasi nde alam ng natgeo na palpak ang pag organize. and from what i’ve read above, last year palpak din. good luck na lang sa kanila next year kung may sasali pa.

Ok sana yung natgeo run kung merong detalye tungkol sa cause nila this year. The 2009 run supported Illac Diaz’s Design Against the Elements. Sana maglabas ang mga organizers ng release tungkol sa supposed beneficiary ng patakbo. Maliban dito, hindi na talaga tama maningil ng ganito kamahal. Sinubukan ko rin mag-email sa [email protected] para humingi ng paliwanag at karagdagang detalye pero wala pa rin sagot.

medals for the finishers of 21k..
trophies for the winners plus cash..

wala na raw shirts kahit registered ka na?…kakalungkot naman to…

hahaha, puro negative comments dito….tama lang siguro kasi sobrang mahal talaga. I have just run Yakult 10-miler race, very smooth ung race, ang dami nagjoin, mura na registration and maganda pa ung singlet. If Yakult kaya mag fun run ng 300 pesos in all races, why not NatGeo at ang iba pa?

tignan nyo muna ung race. bgo kayo magcomment ng negative :))

the beneficiary of natgeo run is mind museum og taguig ..

It’s been 10 working days and I haven’t received my race packet yet thru mail..

Available na po ang mga sizes sa greenbelt. I just had my Large changed to XS. you can call this number to verify 223-4961. Hope that helps.

’til what time registration sa greenbelt?

medyo mahal ang registration but i will join the run.. :(

May finisher’s medal ba?

wala pa rin race kit ko! paid online last march 10 pa! sent follow-up email sa secretariat twice na pero d ngrereply. nagkakaubusan din ng tshirts..expensive ang fees, yet you get this kind of service???

Nabakbak ang print ng Tshirt nung nilabhan… chaka!

Calling EventKing Corp.- MISSING RACE PACK until now for my NATGEO run. I registered March 8, 2011 pa. While my hubby registered last week, his pack arrived today. Please help!

@Maggie,same pala tayo. I emailed twice already to the secretariat, until now, no reply! What’s happening? This is the first time this happened to me. Usually less than 7 days, my pack delivered na. Maybe there was a switch of addresses. I remember for my Unilab run, another person’s race pack was delivered to my address, so I returned it. Hopefully, they will look into this, other wise pupunta na ako sa Greenpark, Pasig (office nila?)

@tsase

upto 8pm po yung greenbelt nat geo registration.

additonal slot please for 5k and 10k.. my officemates wanted to register..

I am having the same problem. I registered online last March 18 yet, to date, my package has not arrived yet. Is this normal? I did the same, I emailed the secretariat twice already, but just the same, I did not get any reply. Would anyone of you know what might be wrong? :(

I was in Greenbelt last saturday and was about to register at Natgeo Run. Unfortunately the only 4 terminals available are all occupied, so i waited patiently in line. However I noticed that the line keep filing up and those 4 users of the terminal is taking forever to finish. It turned out they were registering not only for themselves but for their friends/companies. So imagine the ordeal? I talked to one of the staff and suggested that they have available terminals for single registrants or those who at register 3 or 4 people, at a maximum, then have separate terminals for those who are registering by bulk. This would ease the queue and would prevent clogging of registrants….but they just shrugged it off…..

To my dismay, I just left and did not register.

Sana naman magkaron sila ng sistema sa pagrehistro. Humahaba ang pila dahil hindi nila hinihiwalay ang maramihang rehistro sa paisa-isa lang or tatlo. Kawawa naman yung mga isa lang ang nirerehistro…magaantay ng matagal.

I tried sending follow-up email (my third email) to NatGeo Secretariat about my race pack which hasn’t arrived after 3 weeks of online registration. To my dismay, there was already delivery notification (what the). Increasingly becoming impatient.

I tried sending follow-up email (my third email) to NatGeo Secretariat about my race pack which hasn’t arrived after 3 weeks of online registration. To my dismay, there was delivery notification –> Failure to send. Increasingly becoming impatient, seriously thinkin’ about a refund. No reply, no anything, nada.

Me and my friends are registered to run at 10k, can we downgrade it on 5? or even 3k? we’re willing to pay additional fee if needed.

ang mahal naman! money-making venture na ito. sa century superbods nga 3k or 5k ba, may timing chip na, di pa ganun kamahal, dami pa nila promo para maka join for free

i know they’re trying to raise money but the rates are ridiculous!

my sister and i registered online March 14. personally went to NatGeo Booth in Greenbelt 3 March 15 to pay very expensive reg fee thats why 3K lang kmi. that time, hindi pa avail ung singlets for the 3K and 5K. sabi check daw on March 18 and a number was given to verify. i was out of town last 2 weekends. failed to claim our shirts..
then yday, March 29, went to G3 booth again to find out, stocks were limited and it became 1st come 1st served for the past week. spoke with Joel, one of the releasing guys,sabi ko, ang mahal na nga reg fee nila, tapos yuck pa ung service esp the availability ng shirts, w/c is the only pakwenselo.
maybe their shirt supplier is also busy making for the other fun run’s kaya lagi silang kapos ng stock and unfair dun sa mga early registrants.
oo nga, buti pa nga Yakult Fun Run, been getting lots of positive feedbacks!

since NatGeo is a big name carrier, the organizers shld have made sure, that service will also be at par since the reg fees are so expensive to begin with.
they shld have thought of logistics well esp sa Race Pack. its so easy to collect money from runners and race enthusiasts, ang hindi mapantayan ay yung sistema ng event prior to the race day itself.
ang dating tuloy, amateurish svc is the decription we race victims are getting now… tsk, tsk!

we also joined Hyundai’s Fun Run, hoping theirs is much different, since that one is for FREE!

*Runner’s kit will be delivered to the specified address of online registrants in 5 to 7 working days upon payment.

*CONGRATULATIONS! You have successfully completed your registration in the
National Geographic Channel Earth Day Run 2011 to be held on April 10, 2011 at the Bonifacio Global City.
