@pyxcel
oo nga naman, para ngayon pa lamang, start putting money in your piggy bank he he he

Plan your vacation leave na. sa akin, Sept. 21,22,23,24,25 & 26, 2012.

Will definitely be ready for a full marathon by this time.

save save na..full marathon in camsur..yeah!

nxt target full marathon na… 8 months ang preparation namin dito…be ready guys plan ur forced leave..

i want to join this next year. *fingers crossed* =D

pareng ed, dun ulit tayo sa haybol sa naga

A very nice event to debut for a first marathon.

Ito ang tama. Maagang mag-announce ng date. As early as a year to go. For this, I will join. Thank you to the organizers for being considerate to the runners. In doing so, we can plan our race calendar well ahead.

Sa mga organizers naman na ura-urada ang pagschedule at pasulpot-sulpot lang ang race na ino-organise…I’m sure lalangawin ang event nyo, kung di man sa unang beses eh sa mga susunod na editions.

Additionally, I do hope next year..organizers will space apart the ‘Big’ and/or ‘Quality’ races..common knowledge naman ang ‘Big’ and/or ‘Quality’ races vs the scrappy ones. Just look at the boards.

Thank you.

Sayang I won’t be able to join this run anymore.

thanks for posting this event this early … and @TING … yes it’s great to plan early for a planned vacation with a run. Anyone from Camsur here? … kindly recommend names of hotel near the event’s place and names of resorts at Caramoan. Thanks in advance.

This is great… I am looking forward to this funrun… I really wanted to run in my hometown… I’ll prepare for this event…

Trying to make early bookings on Airphil. They are on 12 pesos! What Airport is it again? Is is Naga for those going to CamSur. Kindly confirm

bakit ba nila lagi lalagay ito sa september..diba tag-ulan na un..

naga airport

ask lang po, how’s the event last year?! puro elite runners ba ang sumali?

@caviterunner

it was fun, fun, fun. if budget permits, im gonna run here again =)

tama si BFD, it was a truly fun fun event despite the bagyo day after nung event. buti na lang.ibang klase talagang mag-cheer ang mga kakabayan ko.

contemplating of having my first marathon here or sa Run United. isip-isip

@Grant Lim : the Airport is Naga, malapit na ang CWC dun..

To those who have ran in last year’s event, what is the rough amount needed for someone coming from Manila? Just an estimate on expenses please! :) Airfare, accommodation, food, etc.

@Jason
depende how many days ka mag-stay in Naga? or are you travelling by bus, train or plane?

just in case you take a bus/train and stay there overnight in an affordable hotel, roughly bet P2,500-P3,000. with konting allowance na for buying pasalubong. souvenir items and a possible sidetrip.

ung ibang kilala ko who stayed more than 2 days spent almost P5K.

overall, despite the expenses, running here for the CamSur Mary is sucha wonderful experience. thats why im coming back there this year…

@Ms_Mars

this will be my second camsur 21K.

any news about the registration for manila-based runners ?

@Ms_Mars: i’m planning to do my first full mary here. do you have an idea how much ang total cost including ang reg fee, fare (bus or plane), hotel,food for me to save and be able to join this event?will be coming from manila…thanks for your help..

@jhunie: san po kayo sumakay ng train from manila?how much ang fare from-to manila?

i traveled by plane last camsur 2011 but will travel by bus this coming camsur 2012.

price comparison? plane (P3,500 round trip but excluding taxi fare and terminal fee) versus bus (P1,600 round trip)

how to register if we are based from davao???

sana makasali ako rito……. ;)

more info please…….

Thanks!!!

ala pa ba ang registration? I might do my first full mary here.

last year manila-based registration was held at R.O.X. let us hope manila-based registration will start asap to accomodate early registrants.

wala pa info?half of june na eh…*sori excited lng=)

Already booked our flights thru a promo fare. Dont dare change the dates or else…

Anyway, can anyone here recommend a nice hotel.

@wickednej:

likewise i noticed the delayed manila-based registration. last year we registered at rox as of june. but now june is about to end but no manila-based registration yet.

any update??? I’m worried, the schedule might change. I already booked a flight for this….

Hello camsur.. can’t wait for the reg.!

Parang balak i-move ‘to ng ibang date. Sana i-announce agad para maka-prepare na mga sasali. Sayang nga lang dun sa mga nakapag-book na ng flights. Maganda din kung gagawin nila ‘to ng Summer para di hassle sa mga participants from Manila dahil walang bagyo…

Kung hindi naman i-move yung date, sana i-announce na registration date and location.

my online registration po b yan? pakipost po thanks..

Yay.. Wag naman sana i move. I’m from Gensan and i have booked a flight a week after it was announced.

Does anyone knows when the registration for Camsur marathon this coming September 23, 2012 is going to open?

sino gustong sumama,after ng run sa camsur,sabay ikot ng caramoan.para maka-tipid pag-marami..

Time to save money sa baby oink oink ko LOL:)

Anyone who can suggest where to stay in Cam Sur for this event?! Wanna try out of the city run this time.

sana may details na. Cant book plane and hotel ticket since wala pa final details. Pakibilis po, we are already excited for this run.

the organizer of cmsur marathon is the camsur local government headed by governor lray villafuerte. in case someone has their contact numbers please do ask about this race and share thsir response through this forum.

walang budget si Gov.
very disappointing if hindi matuloy since na-public na last year pa and sayang yung mga naka-book na ng flight, can we ask RunRio instead since cam sur 1 and 2 baka may alam sila since sa kanila yung 1 and 2

holy macaroni!!
dude cancel na ba ang marathon? less than 3mos wala pa din pano cla kukuha ng madaming participants in the time frame?

isipin nyo lang ang september 19 na naka sched for RU3 wala pa ding full details :)

*september 16 ata RU3 :)

huhuhu… ang tagal ng final details… nag-book na kami ng flight ng mga kaibigan ko… wag sana ma-cancel or ma-move :s

habang tumatagal lalong nagmumukhang cancel ito ah. dati kasi june 1 pa lang may registration na sa ROX BHS. hmmm . . .

Tuloy pa ba itong run na ito? Malapit na kasi wala pa details, excited pa naman group namin to join.

please talaga matuloy at wag ma-move… pinaghahandaan ko pa naman ito..

andami na rin namin na naka-book ng flight dito. sana tuloy naman…

I tried emailing the old secretariat email, but it appears that it’s no longer working. I have not received any replies via the other email addresses I found that are connected with the local government unit of CamSur. :(

hindi ako umasa dito. sa bohol marathon nalang nalang kami nag pa book, dpat talga dito kami kaso mukang negative talga. kaya nag decide kami sa bohol nalang halos ganon din naman ang ma gagastos kung makakakuha ng promo. nakakuha kami ng promo kaso manila to cebu and cebu to manila. kaya mag bohol nalang kau parehas naman sila sept. =)

WALA PO DAW TALAGANG CAM.SUR MARATHON, I’M FROM BICOL ALSO. KYA DISAPPOINTING PERO WALANG MAGAGAWA…

Still hoping this event will push thru..

camsur marathon 2010 and 2011 edition registration starts by june but 2012 edition registration seems overdue. it seems that election preparation will sideline this race. not to mention that camsur lost to cebu in hosting the cobra ironman 2012. :-(

naku po!di po ba talaga to tuloy sir @pinoyfitness?

wala p din ang refund?

@joy_c:

only the organizer (camsur local government) can answer your question.

@Vilous:

refund ng ano? may registration na ba?

One of the marathons that Filipino runners are waiting for. May we know where we could register?

kung hindi tuloy e di sana hindi sila nagpost ng date. so pano na ngayon? nagbook na kami nuon pa…

nku!… nangutang pa nmn ako pra mkapunta at mkasali sa marathon tapoz gnito ang mgnyayari… please nmn… san naba yung slogan natin na “it’s more Run in the Phil.”

I believe for an IAAF certified marathon with some international reputation it doesnt go down well when 2 months before the event nothing has been announced. Its not only bad communication policy but even more so failing international standards where registration starts around 6 months in advance.

nako po mahirap mag-booking pag-ganyang may issue na di tuloy.masasayang lang yung reservation namin sa caramoan after the run vacation.hanap na lang ako ng ibang patakbo na sigurado.

May nakausap akong taga tourism dep’t. nang Camsur. Malamang wala daw Camsur Marathon ngayon. Super late na, wala pa ding instruction sa kanila. Whereas, yung 2011 edition daw, March pa lang naghahanda na sila. I also relayed our disappointment since nakapag book na tayo ng flight. Sabi nya, ipaparating nya raw sa Dep’t. Head nila :-(

Guys, here’s the contact # of Camsur Tourism Dep’t: (054) 477 3172.

time is running out for this race to push through. better consider other out-of-town races. it is nice to know the confirmed subic international marathon event date.

oh well, disappointing it is..

so anong gagawin ko sa pinabooked na flight at hotel? sana may foresight sila na may mga taong who are looking forward for this event kaya the moment may opportunity to book early they grab it. wala pa lang commitment ang mga organizers nito.

Ken (Fernando Torres) kami nga e sampu kami nakabook na flight and hotel from Sept. 22 to 27 (22-23 CWC, 23-24 Naga, 24-27 Caramoan… still hoping na sana kahit last minute magdecide ang organizers na ituloy wag na sana muna nila isipin yung kung gaano kalaki sila kikita isipin muna sana nila itong perwisyong binigay nila sa mga runners, I’m sure may mga foreigners na rin na nakabook for this Camsur Marathon. Mega-NAKAKAHIYA ito, as early as Oct. 5, nag-announce sila ng date for this… haist!

@Maritess and Fernando

that is the reason it is not advisable to book a hotel/airfare in the absence of a confirmed race date. remember to wait for race date confirmation before lifting a finger to confirm your hotel/airfare.

charge this to experience and never make the same mistake twice because in the end it is your hard-earned cash that will get burned.

Naka book na rin kami ng flight as early as December last year. Hotel reserved na rin sa CWC buti na lang hindi pa kami nagbabayad ng down payment.
Last 2010 (1st Camsur Marathon), right after the race, inannounce na din ang date ng 2011 Camsur Marathon and it pushed through naman.
Sayang malabo ung ngayon. Buti na lang super mura ng airfare na nakuha namin =s

hmmm…I was contemplating this to be my HM for this 3rd quarter. I hope the organisers soon give an official announcement. tsk tsk.

i hope the organizer have the decency to inform everyone whether the event will push thru or not. Ang aga nila mag-announce ng next run pero up until now eh they are not saying anything at all. ano eto? secret na malupet na sila lang dapat ang nakakaalam? haha ok lang na nde matuloy eto at least lahat eh maka-move forward na and look to other runs. charge to experience na lang sa atin na nakapag-booked na ng flight/hotel and makipag-debate sa boss regarding sa leave sa work.

@Maritess
talking about foreigners; as early as 2/29/12, i bought my ticket on line from Virginia to Manila and back $ 1,085.90. Cebu Pacific, Manila to Naga city and back $ 95.00. Villa caceres hotel reservation, about $ 42.00. Sad to say because I bought all these cheap, it is not refundable. My fault, learned a lesson not to sign-up until last minute. I thought, it’s just like in the U.S. where anything happens, come snow, sleet, rain or shine, let’s get it on. I’m not mad, it’s only money I’m losing, i can find it as long as I’m working but let’s see what all the foreigners have to say if the CAMSUR MARATHON will not happen this year.

@iamnoel, ok lang di pa naman kami nagabayad pa ng dp sa CWC e, tuloy pa rin kami kasi may Caramoan tour pa kami to look forward to. charge to experience na lang to.

@bert, nakakalungkot naman isipin yan… anyway enjoy mo na lang ang trip mo dito sa pinas…
