  4. haha! fail yung usb! :| daming fail sa freebies.. tsk.. but it was a good run… buti na lang nde ako nag baggage haha…!! nkita ko nga kagulo mga tao eh..ahaha

  9. worst race ever. race route was so crowded, that is why a lot of people are just walking. no finishers kit also. the singlet was the only saving grace.

  10. It got too crowded at times! They should have sent out the runners in waves plus the course was not well lit when it got dark. Good thing that there were enough hydration stations. In general, it was ok but not as successful as the other RunRio events that I love to join.

  12. Humid? Indeed. Next race, we’re making it a rule for everyone to stop breathing within 5 feet of each other to help manage conditions. I think I may have started sweating when everyone collectively cheered before crossing the starting line!

    Oh, and a special thanks to all those who decided to suddenly stop running right in front of me; 10 kilometers can be so monotonous without the occasional obstacle course.

    Congratulations, all!

  13. Masyadong masikip ang daan dahil nagkakasalubong yung mga runners. running lanes are too narrow for 8,000 participants, nakaka-off ng momentum at pace…sablay din sa finisher’s item. the press release before the run was we are in for 2 surprises which heightens our ineterests, turned out the surprise was the finisher’s item is not available yet.
    first time to experience a very crowded lane organized by coach rio.

  15. Sobrang clogged kasi 8,000 isang category lang, hirap na hirap ako sumidestep para di masira momentum ko, nasiko pa ko sa sikmura tinawanan pa ko, buti nalang babae. Dami pa nandaya tsk3.. Shortcut di dumadaan sa u-turn slots. Hiya hiya din! :)

  16. No offensement, are those complaints the downside of night runs? Malamang kaya ganito ang sapitin ng Adobo Run? Mahirap ata talaga ang tumakbo sa gabi, parang mahirap iappreciate ang madilim na paligid, limitado ang paningin.

  18. too crowded nung umpisa. ang hirap sumingit. ok yung hydrations. sablay lang sa baggage booth lalo na sa claiming ng bags. ang liit kasi ng space sa may baggage booth. overall, it was a good run =)

    pa-post na lang ng pics. may online race results na ba?

  19. I agree with you BTx. It was disappointing that I had to walk instead of run in the first kilometer kasi ang hirap talaga tumakbo. In the process, I sprained my ankle kasi I ran sa gilid and hindi level un semento. Plus, the claiming of bags was a disaster. Buti na lang at maganda ang shirt at naentertain ako sa mga banda. I rate this event as good. I think the organizers need to make it better next time.

  21. Aside from the baggage counter(masikip na,madilim pa), Teaser din ung route. Akala ko malapit na sa Finish line,ung pala 4k-3k pa. haha. Naisahan ako dun. Akala ko malapit na, iikot pa pala. Madilim ung pa-uphill(siguro yung last 1k). Pwede magkabungguan ung mga Runners. Delikado. Ang lupit, yung START,FINISH pala yun. Yung FINISH yun ung START. San ka pa Pinoy. “This is your City, Run it” hahaha…

  22. it was a great run actually…

    ung sa nagrereklamo sa taas about sa freebies, hello? yung binayad mo P650 lang…pero ang nakuha natin original nike dri-fit (worth P850 ata yun) at nike tumbler/bottle…at yung USB naman, to follow, hindi naman nila binawi yun.

    about sa traffic/re-routing, i have no issue with that too…as long as eksaktong 10km yung tinakbo. di naman kasalanan ng nike at runrio yun.. BGC ang nagdecide ata. at infairness, hindi ko napansin na binago yung route, kung totoo ngang binago.

    anyway, for P650, sobrang sulit! kesa sa P1,000+ na event sa iba…kaya hindi napuno yung expectations nila.lol (yes, i’m throwing shade at adidas)

  23. The WORST baggage counter everrrr! Di na ko magtataka kung marami nagkawalaan ng bag. Di maganda yung route, ang dilim, dun pa naman sa may mga construction na site, uneven yung road tapos di makita ang dinadaanan. Pinagsabay sabay nila patakbuhin yung 8000 runners, di man lang pinatakbo by wave, kaya ano nangyari?? edi siksikan! The worst running event I’ve ever attended. Nike pa naman, international brand tapos ganito tsk tsk.

  24. negative note:
    -madilim nung bandang 6pm-7pm sa route (di ko xa talaga na-experience, mejo maaga ako natapos)
    -chaotic baggage area (buti na lang sa FF ako nag-iwan ng gamit)
    -walang bib number, wala tuloy akong ilalagay sa wall ko… lol
    -di ko nakita yung mga artistang tumakbo

    (will do a review of the event on my blog tomorrow…)

    =)

  25. I love the shirt. But i think next year it would be “2012 Nike We WALK Manila 10K”, ha ha ha! Di napaghandaan ni rio yung dami ng tao na halos di kana makatakbo. May mga lugar na madilim na kaya mejo delikado. Yung bigayan ng drinks after the run nakakaasar din. Papapuntahin kayo sa dulong booth pero ubos na. Pagtingin mo dun sa dinaanan mo yun naman ang binuksan! Yung poster walang kwenta,shempre nung nabasa ng mga pawis lusaw agad lol. The best parin yung REEBOK RUN! :o)

  27. Given the huge turnout of registrants, the logical thing to do for Nike was to do the gun start times in waves for crowd control, makes me wonder why the organizers did not anticipate the volume of people all running the same distance.

    Felt like I was in a mosh pit earlier, good thing the shirt, tumbler, etc. were there to make up for the logistical nightmare that happened.

  28. astig ang nike run, sulit na lahat sa shirt pa lang.. challenging talaga ang route sa BGC daming uphills. hehe ^_^
    astig din ang post-run party may Sandwich at Parokya. San ka pa? Kahit to follow ang mga freebies, ok lang. Over-all a very good turn out. Next year ulit ^_^

  30. congrats to all finishers! todo hikayat ako sa mga friends and colleagues ko to join this run. overall, masaya naman ang race. mura, maganda singlet, maganda yung water bottle, ok yung hydration stations.. may parts lang talaga na madilim (yung 8k-9k strip lalo na dun sa u-turn, ang dilim. nakakatakot kasi di mo alam baka may maapakan ka na pede magsprain ng ankle mo) and sobra sikip ng lanes sa dami ng sumali. atleast nakamayan ko si coach rio. thanks nike/runrio. we’ll wait for the usb ^_^

  31. The only good thing about this run is the ample hydration.

    The route is not good, sa lilib na part ng The Fort ba naman. Naiintindihan ko na kelangan niyo ire-route para iwas traffic, pero kung padadaanin niyo lang rin naman kami sa puro construction na lugar, uneven yung road at higit sa lahat madilim at walang ilaw, sana ginawa niyo na lang umaga yung event, lalung-lalo na dun sa last 2 Kms, halos wala ka ng makitang daanan, ganyan talaga kadilim.

    An don’t even get me started sa baggage counter – the WORST I’ve experienced so far. Seryoso, halos parang bidding na ang nangyari, walang kwenta na matandaan kung saang terminal mo iniwan bag mo dahil halu-halo na rin sa bandang huli – at isa pa, ang dilim! Nakaka-trauma talaga.

    Isa pa, alam naman siguro ng organizers na 8000 yung runners diba? Sana naman pinatakbo nila by wave. Eh kaso hindi e, pinagsabay sabay nila, kaya anong nangyari? edi nagsiksikan.

  32. BGC is slowly becoming congested for runners especially in their thousands. When all vacant lots are built with buildings for sure organizers will transfer to another location.

    The run was good with free concert pa kahit hindi na namin tinapos. Pero the route was really congested at dami nag shortcut ata hehehe.

  33. Sa mga nagrereklamo about sa madilim at walang ilaw na roads, KAYA NGA NIGHT RUN EH? DIBA? It’s part of the challenge! at ung sa ibang reklamo pa, hayaan nyo na, 650 lang nman binayad nyo, DriFit Shirt palang sulit na,may Hydration Bottle ka, may Pending USB ka pa!diba diba? SMILE! God bless us all!:))

  34. give credit to runrio and nike sponsor. as a runner, one should anticipate all shortcomings. runrio and nike cannot assure 100 percent convenience in the race. lets be wiser enough. we are runners who often runs and we already knew whats the solutions to the problems.

    For example: no lights on other route. remember its night run, should bring flashlight or other tool to give us source of light.
    The road is too narrow? its not the problem of BGC bcoz the road was designed based on a 2-way road system and its owned by ayala, (they control the # of buses puj and puv for safety purposes. its impossible to create a 4-road system since BGC is not a highway. another thing BGC is a central business district of taguig, its not design for runners, we are only using it.
    worse baggage counter? lets be logic. if you saw unorganized baggage counter, what more if u claim your belongings after the run. should can carry it and its much safer.
    too crowded? yah a lot of people are joining the run for fun and pleasure, now, if you saw runners who walks, its there happiness bcoz they enjoy bonding with others. should come early as possible and go to the front of starting area. should anticipate the overwhelming number of participants and even organizers cant avoid and control this thing. check other marathon in abroad like ny marathon, boston marathon. how can organizer control the huge amount of runners? they cant bcoz its a natural phenomenon in running. how about runners who are walking? you cnt control runners who walk, they joined this race for fun and for them walk is fun.

  35. Over-all, majority of runners who participated had a “happy run” compared to the “whiners”…. Negative lang talaga yung baggage area… Run Happy! :)

  37. It’s true the roads are too narrow for 8,000 runners but what makes it delightful is that in this kind of conditions it will show the runners who has developed not only the endurance in running but also the courtesy to other runners. There were fast runners who bumped me and said “sorry” and there was one who literally pushed me out of the way, did not even bother to look back. I really wanted to get back at him when he stopped at KM8 but I just let him eat my dust till the finish line. Ang yabang hihinto rin naman pala…

    Nakakahiya rin yung isang babae na nung ibibigay na yung poster and drink sa akin, she just grabbed it, coming from behind me. I looked at her and wala lang ganun lang talaga ugali nya.

    Meron pa, tatlong lalaki sa snap zone. Sumingit sa pila and the girl behind them tapped the shoulder of one guy but patay malisya na hindi pinansin yung babae. These guys look decent but I think their breeding is just bad. Nakakahiya…

    Courtesy is an important element of running (before-during-after) to make it pleasurable to each and every runner….till our next event and happy running to everyone!

  39. nakakarimarimm…. hindi sulit ang binayad ng mga runners. bumababa ang kalidad ng runrio, pamahal p ng pamahal d’ naman tinatapatan ung ibinabayad namin. last ko ng makikitakbo sainyo sa ru3 n magaspang ang singlet :(

  40. comments:

    positive side:
    1. hydration is good.
    2. tee is good in red-orange (very strong color) parang mga pulang langgam lang :) .
    3. 10K walk/run route is good.
    4. free concert (sandwich and parokya).
    5. excellent emcess from magic 89.1…super cute talaga ni jesica :)
    6. good bonding with officemates :)
    7. good weather.
    8. ang bait pa nang bouncer para sa kuhaan ng picture :)

    negative side:
    1. unorganized baggage area.

    overall:
    i finished the run without any injury…kudos to nike/ run rio and organizers… mabuhay kayo!!! till next run …

  41. It was a fun experience for me since i’m not from manila.. first time ko ma experience na tumakbo with 8000 people at the same time.

    The uphill was great but mas great d2 sa Baguio.. =D The bad thing is ung sa baggage counter area, mas matagal pa ako nag antay para lng makuha ung bag ko kaysa nung tumakbo ako.

    I decided to come back here in manila to run again, next target is the power run on Nov.6 and i will run the 25KM. This time I’ll push myself to the limit.

    Thanks Nike for this wonderful experience.

  42. hi to all congrats sa mga nakafinish and feel so sad lang sa mga hindi daw umabot sa cut off nang run ( next time po kasi maaga tayo yun naman ang instruction diba and sana maintindihan natin why need implement nang rules ) masasabi ko lang sa dami nang 10k run ko eto na yung pinakamasaya pinakabago at challenging din talaga..sayang di ko nakita mga pf pipz pero for sure naman they all had fun tama ba mga pf pipz?and sa mga NAGREREKLAMO o well di naman yan mawawala and karapatan natin yan pero be thankfull na din tayo kasi feeling ko naman overall success yung run and to be part nang nike run is masaya na sa dami nang gusto magjoin na hindi umabot..dri-fit shirt,tumbler and pending gift sa price na 650 hindi na masama,,
    @team nebs: nakita ko kayo sir lapit sana ako para papicture tayo kaso nahiya na eh hehehehe.. congrats to all and keep running!!!

  43. Walang medics sa loob ng area. Yung mga organizers tinatanong ko pinaikot-ikot ako just to find out that the only medics is yung nasa finish line. Good thing hanap ko medics for ice packs para lang after race recovery and not because i was cramping.

    Also, organizers don’t know san pwede magpa-page. Fail.

    Another thing is they gave away expired Nature Valley granola bars!

  44. It was a great run =) What everyone should remember in narrow roads with 8000 runners is the value of courtesy. I believe everyone who joined the race are educated, we should know how to show courtesy to co-runners and to other people as well.

    As for the baggage counter system, it was disastrous nga. THese are my feedback:

    It was a good thing we had to use the numbers in our shirt to identify our bags. However, during claiming, we had to find our numbers in the list first which was very time consuming kasi ang daming nakalista sa isang counter which had 3 sets of lists. Dun pa lang time consuming na, siguro mga 5 mins. Then after makita ang number, hahanapin pa ang bag which is again time consuming, siguro another 5 mins ulit. So one person takes 10 mins more or less to find their bag. So if there were let’s say 5,000 runners who left their bags in the baggage counter, and there were let’s say 20 counters (i don’t remember exactly how many counters there were) it would take 2,500 mins (42 hrs) to complete the claiming kung sinunod ng maayos ang pila. I suggest, next time we make categories, for example, categorize the bags according to type (backpack, shjoulderbag, etc.) or color, basta categorized para mas madaling hanapin. Tapos during the deposit of bags pa lang we should have been informed na importanteng alalahanin yung counter number, kasi like me di ko natandaan counter number ko maybe because hindi ko napansing may counter number pala, buti alam ko kung san ko banda dineposit. Kasi should I look for my number in the lists in all baggage counters? hirap ata nun. OR maybe yung baggage counters e according to the bib #, let’s say lahat ng ’29’ ang first 2 digits sa counter ’29’, mga ganun.

    There are a lot of ways to imperove the baggage counter system, I think we just need to anticipate or really expect the worst in a situation para sa implementation, handa tayo sa worst scenario.

    That’s all!

  47. Buti nalang astig yung mga banda after the run! Sobrang disappointed ako sa run na to. Sa claiming pa lang ng race kit eh FAIL na tapos during the run, sikip ng daanan tapos chaotic pa sa baggage counter. Thanks talaga sa Chicosci, Sandwich at PNE kaya masaya pa din akong umuwi!

  50. Very crowded and too dark route. So many had just to walk, instead of running. Wala pang finishers’ kit. Organizers should plan better next time.

  51. Sheesh..dami palang mga reklamador dito! Pati ba naman masikip na daan, madilim na kalsada, walang freebies, sa mga naglalakad, bakit di wave start ay nirereklamo pa? Mga tutuong runner ba kayo? Haha..ok itong site na ito, nakakaaliw!:-)

  55. superb!!! kahit di maxado organized, the best experienced ever… 1km akala ko suko na ako pero ang saya, kasi natapos ko un 10km run, jog and walk ang gnawa ko… and may nakita din ako mga nandaya, mga celebrity at mga batang nanghihingi ng plastic bottles… sana nxt time, maayos na sa baggage counter.. kawawa din un crew s baggage area, hindi sila tumakbo pero parang sila pa un pawis na pawis s mga runners… un lang… nagutom ako sa run na un… hehehe

  56. The run was okay considering that there were 8,000 runners in just one category. Buti na lang hindi pumayag ang nike na magbukas ng dagdag na slots. I was near the front so not too many walked so I was able to run all the way, zigzag lang nga at times. Mukhang mahirap talaga afternoon runs; the runrio staff was able to block the main roads just minutes before the run.

    Sulit na ang dri-fit at P650 plus water bottle pa. I just hope the usb arrives but be prepared to wait for it for two months at the least; imagine having 8,000 post race kits delivered. The RU2 post race pack hasn’t even arrived yet and the run was last August 21. I just wished they announced earlier that the usb would not be distributed after the run so the runners would not have expectations.

  57. superb!!! kahit di maxado organized, the best experienced ever… 1km akala ko suko na ako pero ang saya, kasi natapos ko un 10km run, jog and walk ang gnawa ko… and may nakita din ako mga nandaya, mga celebrity at mga batang nanghihingi ng plastic bottles… sana nxt time, maayos na sa baggage counter..

  58. Overall OK naman yung race,isa lang yung wave kaya siksikan sa simula pero after mga 3k medyo maluwag na naman… madilim pero tolerable…parang nakakabawas lang talaga ng morale pagmadilim…yun lang mainit talaga,kahit wala na yung araw may singaw pa din yung lupa..pero iadd na lang sa challenge lahat… para sa 650 na binayad ay sulit na sulit na…basta antayin natin yung iba pang surprise freebies…nakanote naman lahat ng negative comments sa organizer malamang kasi and ayaw din nila maulit yung mga reklamo… 8/10

  59. too many whiners! next time please don’t join this kind of events. you ruin the very reason why we’re all here. obviously not all of you came to run. it’s a matter of accepting the challenge and rising above it all.

  60. Saw one of the Ayala brothers here, not really sure if its Jaime or Fernando, and a lot of other executives (nagreklamo din kaya sila?), andun ka kami sa harap ng supposedly second wave, kasi may bakod na nilagay to divide the first wave, and sbe 5:10 daw papatakbuhin 2nd wave, pero nung start na nagulat kami pinatakbo nadin kami, siguro di nadin nagpapigil mga runners kaya tuloy tuloy na ung tao. no negative comment for me :D

    san ka pa nakakita ng run na all hydration may kasamang powerade? and may water pa? :)

  61. yesterday ‘THE ROAD IS ON FIRE’ I’m looking for ‘FIREMeN’ but then i realized, it’s really not needed. It’s all runners painting the road red-orange, and making it really blazing hot.. agree? heheheh it was one hot fun run.. NIKE WE RUN MANILA

  63. ok ung run. at first lang medyo siksikan tlga pero nung tumagal naka abante rin ako medyo maluwag na…nasa bandang unahan na rin kasi ako with the serious runners kaya wala masyado naglalakad… since solo ako wala ung running buddy ko, derecho uwi ako after ng race… sa baggage counter, ok naman sa terminal 17, nkapila ng maaus and mabilis ko lang nkita bag ko. no complaint… overall very good run but not perfect.

  65. Well Organized naman ang event ha.Those people who keeps on complaining na madilim e night run nga eh…..for me this is one of the best run event na nasalihan ko..

  66. too crowded yun lang, ang route ok na rin kaya lang medyo hirap sumingit habang tumatakbo lalo yung gusto pa ring makuha yung time nila medyo mag-eeffort talaga pra lang makauna lalo na kung nsa bandang gitna ka.overall masaya yun nga lang to follow yung usb…I’m happy na rin nakuha ko parin with in my time yung 10k ko.NIKE run OK!

  67. i enjoy my run 2nd 10k ko na runUNITED3 will be 21k na yehey! i salute sa mga nag organized ng event though may mga bad things pa rin pero normal lang yun above all (clap clap) sa lahat ng nag enjoy at nakatapos ng takbo…kasama pa kabuddy mo…its really FUN! wag na lang po sana tayong mag reklamo mag suggest na lang po sana kung anuman ang pedeng improve ng organizer. yun lang po…salamat sa inyo kita kitz ulit sa mga susunod na run…enjoy your day!

  69. came and witnessed Nike We Run Manila yday and seeing the multitude of people, it was like NatGeo or the Hyundai Free Run events all over again! except dun merong waves. unlike here at Nike, originally they planned for 2 waves but scratched it last min. sayang.

    para talagang red army ants dating mga runners with their Nike shirts on. happy to see our friend from MLB Ms. Felsie and a rep from PEP Squad observing the event. see you sa Rainbow Run and Energizer! good luck.

    Team USBs Rj Knight, bday boy Ryan Moral, Timo, Jojo and rest of the guys – salamat sa pichur pichurs! ganda ko, hehe!

    PF and Team Mamaws/ARC/Team Alpha1 and FB friends – congrats and super awesome seeing you all run/walk in this event. to most, chika run lng, hehe.

    Ms.Kukaichang – finally we met! haha! thank you for bringing the Energizer Race Kit with you. so loved the headlamp!

    To Chicosci/Sandwich/Parokya ni Edgar — you guys all ROCKED! maraming salamat at napasaya nyo kaming mga runners.

    Celebrity Runners – Rovilson Fernandez (hello there friend!)Drew Arellano, Rich Herrera, Reema Chanco and hubby, Will De Vaughn among others – great seeing u too.

    Coach Rio and staff – there were concerns but kudos on the hydration as always. i know you got worried sa mga nag-faint/collapse during the run esp to that foreigner teenager at corner of Lexus Bldg area. hope he’s ok.despite being tired and exhausted after the event, you were still game with posing for lots of photo ops to friends/runners. Hats off 2u!

    Kita kts during KOTR next Sun! ;)

  70. so disappointed with this race..

    from the race pack collection:
    -got the wrong-sized shirt (with the fact that I RESERVED the size upon registration)
    -felt my shirt was an EXCESS of the SG Run (with We Run SG printed on my singlet NOT Manila)
    -had no loot bag

    to the race proper:
    -too crowded
    -very narrow race route lanes
    -we are running in the dark, total darkness on some part
    -plus the route was just a mere loop on the outskirts of BGC
    -the camp venue was also terrible (mud and rocks all over)

    *haven’t got what they have PROMISED! the USB finisher’s item..
    *plus we had a TRAIL walk going to the starting line and going out of the venue..

    **don’t promise anything if you CAN’T live with it, i think you can control your customers so as to meet your orders
    **from singlet to loot bags to USB, same reasons..supplier problems..the hell!

  71. it sucks!

    track is not well lit.
    baggage area was a disaster (buti sa car ko nilagay stuff ko)
    Coach Rio made 5 waves for 10k runners in Run2United 2, but here, nah..

    they were so unprepared sa pag organized nitong run… why did I say so? the finishers kit wasnt able to make it on time… (first time to sa running community)

    oh btw, sa mga mababagal and sa mahihilig maglakad, sa right na lang sana kayo..

  72. Good race, but far from being an organized one. RunRio is usually way better than this. Nike PH’s inefficiency to provide the race items (correct-shirts, usb, etc.) is one big source of the minuses. While it is true that at P650, it is already “sulit”, it is time for us to expect more at di na yung “pwede na yan”. Ano naman yung tama ang ibigay yung tamang size sa na-reserve mo at makuha mo yung finishers kit mo sa actual finish? That should be expected from a well-organized race. >>>

  73. The route, I thought, was good. Kaya lang, ang dami na talagang nagpa-participate. Runners in the popular races number in the several thousands. A lot don’t really care about the proper run etiquette. I had to go around four nagtsitsimisan na girls walking in one row. May isa namang lalaking biglang nag-cross from the rightmost lane to the leftmost to get a drink. Muntik tuloy akong madapa. Grr!!! on both counts.
    Dito tayo pwedeng mag-contribute as runners with the organizers. Let’s help educate other runners, especially the newbies, so we can all have enjoyable and safe runs.
    Peace my running brothers and sisters! :)

  74. My first time to run 10k… Great run! Deadma sa negatives, sulit na sa shirt and tumbler! Will wait for the USB! Good job Runrio/ Nike! :)

  75. Great run!! Super Crowded pero
    but fun parin. Naka inspire yung mga bata
    na nag cheer at nag appear hbang tumatakbo koh.
    Hydration panalo, Bwat 2k may hyrdation station which was really
    helpful since very humid ang weather. Ang weird lang kse yung start finish line and yung finish start line. hehehe.yun nga lang ang dming umasa sa finishers Item yung USB na shoe. Pero ok narin The NIKE water bottle and DRYFIT, made up for it. yung race pack alone cguro nasa 1,000pesos plus na and we only paid 650.=D

    kudos to RUN RIO, for hosting a Great Run.
    Those are the possitive side.
    On the other hand I experinced something, I think all of us Runners
    have not experinced before At A RUN RIO event. This is The Horrific baggage counters!!!!! Sobrang dis-organized, Dumating pa sa point
    na parang Raffle yung mga Bag, Meron nga terminals pero di moh naman alam kung saan terminal napunta yung Bag Moh. Pagod ka na nga sa Race Mas pagod ka pa sa paghanap nang bag moh. There was even a point na Sobrang nagwala na yung mga tao, so kanya kanyang hnap nang bag nlang!! grbe yun. So hndi suprising kung may nawalan nang bag. I hope RUN RIO, looks in this matter kse first time tong nang yari Sa RUN RIO event, for that Fact first time kung maransan yung gnon at Running Event.

    I’am sure marami sating Runners would agree, Though The organisers are not responsible for any Loss or damage, of belongings, They should at least make sure na Organise and safe yung pag deposit and pag claim nang mga gamit.
    Other than the Baggage issue, RUN RIO is still The best organiser of running events, hopefuly di na maulit yung nang yari last night.

    Hope KOTR, CHEVY RUN, and RUN UNITED 3, and all other Run RIO events would be more Organized with keeping our belogings safe and organized so that Evryone would happy at the of the RACE.

    Yun lang poh.

  76. this is my first run n as in super crowded, and the baggage area naku po.. hahah kala ko nung una magiging maayos sya kasi may systema pero nagulat n lang ako pg claim ko ng bag yun iba bag nsa labas n.. hahahahaha.. ang dali pagnakawan.. at may mg bag n preprehas like ng sakin..plus the usok n akala ko lalabas n ang baga ko hahahaa… but though ganun masaya p rin naman.. iba klase klase ang spirit ng mga runnerS sa hapon kesa sa umaga… mas “ALIVE”..

  77. parang nakakadala na salihan yung mga runrio organized runs. lately, nadedelay na yung mga prizes nila when you finish the race.

    sana next time:
    1.more lights on the road (kaya siguro ngayon lang nagpatakbo sa gabi yung runrio kasi kulang sila sa ilaw)
    2.mag lagay sila ng walking lane para sa mga walkers
    3.mas madami yung bantay sa baggage counter kesa sa finisher’s claiming booths for the poster at letter at sana mas malaki din yung area ng baggage counter
    4.yung km markers, kahit simple lang, lagyan nila

  78. FAIL ang FINISHER’S ITEM!
    FAIL ang lightings at road. (madilim at masikip, mabato, maputik, baku-bako)
    FAIL ang Baggage Counter
    FAIL and distance. nakaGPS ako, 11.75km ang distance hindi naman 10km. AYOS!
    VIP ako, FAIL ang food, hindi masarap! masarap pa street foods sa metro manila.

  79. Crowded lanes, inconsistent traffic flow, impromptu re-routing, lack of proper lighting, sweltering heat, chaotic claims area, and a ton of littered plastic cups… if you didn’t expect this from the Philippines, you may have mistaken our national flag for the Nike Swoosh.

    Nike event or not, let’s not forget which country this run was conducted in!

    Haha, but I do have to laugh at our finishing prizes. “Congratulations, runners. Here are your letters of apology and some super-absorbent posters for your sweat.”

    Mabuhay.

  80. Nike Running PH – For me it is considered epic fail..
    Sorry I have nothing against runrio BUT..
    Why?
    1 – Streets are not well lit..
    2 – Only one gun start people piled up across the running route.. Not all registered of the main purpose, that is to run – puro nag walkathon lang oh well.
    3 – Concert? For what?? kung ginamit na lang nila yung pondo sa pagpapailaw halos sa lahat ng race route mas ok pa lintek sa dilim eh..
    4 – Most of all no finisher’s kit, what the heck am I suppose to the with a envelope letter in it? Nagpaskil na lang sana sila ng Banner “NO FINISHERS KIT” nakatipid pa sana sila sa papel..

    – Bottomline it is not a FUN run ang run ng Nike..

    Looking forward to better run in KOTR.

  81. After each run, there will always be positive and negative comments. If organizers take note of both, runs will improve. A negative comment is not necessarily a whine.

  82. priority access the best!!!
    NIKE+
    1. dri-fit
    2. hydration
    3. weather
    4. talents
    5. 10k expirience
    6. SNAP area/photobooth
    NIKE-
    1. BAGGAGE (sa mga walang nike+ priority access delublyo ang pag rerelease nila ng mga bags)
    2. route (sp. s ilaw na nakatutok sa mga tumatakbo)

    NIKE= great event

  83. agree with suzetteDL, we are not whining, just airing our views so organizers may take notice as improvements for future running events:-)

  85. Madami runners talaga. 8K. talagang parang army. hehe..Di ito yung event to set your PR for sure. talagang carnival experience ang dating nya…at patok yung post race entertainment..all in all sulit naman I think yung reg fees mo specially when you registered with a buddy. Ganun talaga ang buhay …sinabi naman nilang 8,000 yan kaya ganun talaga ang road/racing conditions…10km is 10,000 meters, 8,000 yung runners..dont expect na maluwag yan. To expect na maluwag yan is ridiculous. Kung maluwag na roads/racing conditions ang suggestions ko try the Greenfield City Clean Air Run in Santa Rosa, Laguna or Makiling Challenge in Los Banos, Laguna..Ayun last time around when I joined the 10k, Its just me sa may last 10% of the runners, me and my heavy breathing plus the trickling of the rain on my face huhuh.hehe.

    All in all, great event!

    Thanks to Nike & Runrio.

    Lets see ang KOTR!

  88. – madilim sa ibang part, nakakatakot lang baka matisod ka or magkabangaan ang mga runners.
    – may part na maliwanag, yun lang masyado glaring ang ilaw kasi mababa siya
    – magulo, masikip at madilim sa baggage area. nagkailaw sandali pero namatay rin ang ilaw (bakit nga kaya di na lang yung vacant lot ang ginamit para sa baggage – mas maluwag pa – siguro mahal rentahan yung place…)

    wala naman ako reklamo na wala pa ang kit. sulit nga naman ang pre-race freebies at shirt sa mga 650 na reg fee.
    since lab ko na ang pagtakbo, masaya na ako sa takbuhan.
    sana lang ang mga di masyado tumatakbo, gumilid na lang ng maayos para di naman abala sa ibang tumatakbo. pag nagdecide na magwalk, gigilid lang at kung sakaling kakanan or kakaliwa ka sa takbo, sumenyas konti para alam ng nasa likuran nyo kung san kayo pupunta.
    yun lang naman.
    sasali pa rin ako sa next run. sana lang next time may mapagiiwanan na ako ng gamit para di na makikipagsiksikan sa baggage counter.

  89. @Rocas, true that! Kung solb na solb kayo sa run (walk), then kami, hindi. Ganun lang kasimple. Kaya nga namin ine-air ang side namin, and don’t give us that “E di mag-email kayo sa Runrio blah blah blah” shit. I am pretty sure na sa dinami dami nilang tao sa Runrio (kaya nga Runrio Inc. diba) at least one of them is bound to read these complaints. So yeah, if you are pretty contended with YOUR run, then you have all the democracy to post here as well, wala naman kumukontra sa inyo, so kung gusto namin mag-“reklamo”, hayaan nyo rin kami.

    And Super LOL at “Congratulations, runners. Here are your letters of apology and some super-absorbent posters for your sweat.” :))

  91. Okay naman ang run ko. Pero yung iba ewan ko nalang. I just witnessed kung gaano kabilis sumulpot sa side ko yung isang girl na medyo chubby tsaka iba pang nagshortcut. Suddenly when I witnessed the awarding siya pa nanalo… justice for real winner please. Makonsyensiya naman kayo. Unfair sa iba na halos mamataymatay sa pagod tapos kayo magshortcut lang. Event Fail!!!

  92. sabi ko na nga ba uulanin ng comment yung nike run.

    1. sa sobrang daming sumali hindi ka na makatakbo. tsaka masikip ang daan. overcrowded.
    2. impossible yung baggage area. 1 hour ka na nga tumakbo, 1 hour pa kami nag-stay sa baggage area to claim 1 bag. natuyuan na kami ng pawis.
    3. walang sufficient lighting sa route. mahirap tumakbo pag madilim. hindi makita ang daan kung may mga lubak. magko-cause pa ng injury.
    4. anyways, it was a good event pa rin. sana ipadala nga sa amin yung “award”.

  93. A good Run i guess…expected na ung crowd dahil 8000 ang registered in just one category which is 10K. regarding the finisher’s item…for me better na dinelay dahil for sure may magkakagulo…not all runners exercise honesty…may manlalamang at may madudugasan. Just hoping na sa pagdelay na ginawa makakatanggap ang lahat ng deserving na tatanggap.

  94. hahaha!! daming reklamo! yung price ng tumbler palang P335 na, plus yung shirt which is made of good material dun palang bawina P650 mo! sana lng pinag handaan nila yung lights sa 8th avenue! sobrang dilim dun! overall nice run and new PR for me! thanks NIKE!

  95. sa nagsasabi na okay lang ang madilim na route dahil night run,,mag isip isip ka…organizers should ensure the safety of runners..eh kung mahulog ka sa openmanhole or bangin or matisod ka dahil sa roughroad dahil gabi…tapos mainjure ka or something???ano gagawin mo? sisihin organizer di ba..or kakasuhan porket ganun ganito..remember it is the duty of the organizers to ensure safety of runners even during nightraces…sa mga nagcocomment,,,just respect one another..may bad may good comments naman…lets just respect what we gonna say about the race,,these are good and bad criticisms designed to improve future races..not to disparage or discredit organizers…di talaga maiiwasan magbalyahan sa dami ba naman..ang point dun,,,we joined we finish the race..etc etc..

  96. addendum…basta ako..masaya parin sa run nayon ,,,,i dont mind those negative write ups…happy pa rin ako sa run na ito…

  97. Nagmukhang Manny Villar Fun Run para sa mga mayayaman. Hate na hate pa naman ni Kris Aquino ang kulay orange. Hala Nike, makakatikim kayo kay Maldito Kris.

  98. Dahil sa sobrang dami ng tumakbo eh nag-lakad na lang kami ng kasama ko. Nung gabi na grbe wla man lang streetlights kaya ang dilim sobra kaya ginaws namen ng buddy ko nagkwentuhan kami ng nakakatakot hehehe and sa baggage counter naman eh ang macocomment ko lang eh OMG. I think this would be my first and last run sa BGC. Mas natuwa pa ako sa last run ko sa Run Rizal from Luneta to Coastal Mall. Mas even ang daan at diredirecho lang. But kahit na daming downside eh winner naman ang shirt, tumbler at ang concert.

  99. @andrew lao: i gues cris aquino hates color orange but saw josh walking means ok sa kanya ung orange!hehehe. super dami atleta, artista at familiar faces. ok naman in da end…satisfied!

  100. Sorry po kung sino mga bag naapakan ko at sa marami pang tao na nakaapak dahil di maiwasan ng nag clain ng kanilang bag.. no choice… habang naapakan ko mga bag nio.. sinigaw ko pa sa incharge na iligpit nio yung mga bag na sa harap naapakan na po!!!!! ayaw nila makinig.. tnx
