I was able to grab a race kit and join the Pocari Sweat Run this July 17, 2011. First time to run around Tiendesitas, Ortigas area, fresh route and very challenging, the Ultra/St. Paul Pasig Uphill at the 10K route was really a challenge and a fulfilling one as well.

very nice run! my first time in Tiendesitas and i wasnt disappointed. And i would like to say ‘good job’ to pep squad org. twice an akong sumali sa mga run events nila and i noticed they have improvements, with the signage and water stations everywhere…KEEP IT UP, PEP SQUAD! And thanks to POCARI SWEAT, umulan ng pocari :)Till next run!
This is one of the better organized running events this year, the fee is very reasonable considering that they provided finisher shirts, face towels, and many bottles of pocari. More importantly the marshalls, pasig traffic management, tiendesitas security, and pocari staff are very friendly and polite. Water stations give runners the option to have water or pocari. Plenty of signages on how far you’ve run and remaining distance. Kudos to the organizers and staff for a well-organized event!
very challenging indeed! =)
nice to see you there sir!
we had fun.. they are very accomodating and well organized.. I love the taste of POCARI SWEAT.. =) thanks to POCARI SWEAT, all sponsors and UNTV 37
Kudos to Pocari’s organizers and to pep squad org. Though the start was late it was well worth the wait. Hydration was overflowing. It was my first time running this event and I’ll certainly take note of it from now on.
More power.
nice run
looks like Pep Squad is catching up with Runrio…
ang saya ng Pocari Ready Go Sweat Run kanina! ang daming freebie…
First run with my daughter Patricia… We had fun. It was also different race route then the usual BGC or MOA… Love the taste of Pocari Sweat… Until next time…
great job pep squad! thanks to pocari
nice run! umulan ng pocari! ang hirap lang ng uphill. haha. till next time pocari! :)
nalunod ako sa Pocari Sweat! =)
masaya may shot pa ko.. sana magkaron uli sa tiendesitas, frontera verde, ortigas malapit kasi sa place ko..
today’s Ready Sweat Go is Pocari’s 2nd year and congrats to its success. we all look forward to the 3rd one!
Memorable mentions:
– 10K gunstart started on time @5.30am. ideal time even if you’re at BGC or MOA.
– a simple yet tough route of Tiendesitas esp leading to ULTRA/DepED, the St Paul UpHill! next time im going to conquer you with ease. felt like i was in Baguio?!
– excellent hydration! being true to its sponsorship, overflowing Pocari’s and water station as neutralizer!
– clean portalets. thank God they had tissue paper for the females.
– awesome singlet (2) versions. loved the Finisher’s Shirt too. good for practice runs!
– ample marshalls, alert supervision of the Pasig traffic management, Tiende security *same as badboy’s comment. good thing hindi rin naging pasaway mga motorists in the Ortigas area on a Sunday.
– very nice loot shopping/market bag. took home more Pocari bottles to share to folks at home! very kind kuya’s in the Pocari bottle booth. bottomless fever talaga!
– great distance markers. i keep track of it all the time.
– medic and emergency ambulances were in strategic locations.
– loved the PEP band! festive moment tayo.
– courteous and friendly staff and volunteers who were at the site since 1 or 2AM. i was an early bird at 4AM!
Recommendations?
– few celebrity invites? maybe Jasmine Curtis who’s a Pocari endorser. just to add spice.
– maybe Pocari can open 16K or 21K distance for next year.
– more fitness food related freebies.
over-all great job to Organizer and sponsors! keep it up and we shall be there to show our support again for Pocari’s next projects!
