Subic International Marathon 2012 – January 21 & 22, 2012

@jheng you can join me and elvin, if you want. wala din kasi kaming kasama….=)

@c21 may na-mention yung organizer about sa transpo. inaayos pa daw nila yon pero wala pang nafifinalize. mag-update na lang sila once ok na yung transpo. pag walang provided na transpo, sama na lang ako sa inyo

sure…pag may transpo. naman na ipoprovide malamang dun din ako.=)

i’ll be running 21k here. =D

@ChrisL Thanx po,atleast my idea na po ako kng sakaling mg isa lng me papunta don… see u nalang….ok….

@elvin @c21: unti unti ko na binubuo “family outing” on that weekend..where else? subic! haha! if this pushes through, then count me in as another PF subic runner ;)

my finisher shirt ba ang 21k?

to Organizer.
Mas maganda siguro kung merong shuttle service goin to subic. katulad ng Nathan Run sa tagaytay, pasagot naman guys.

first time to run in subic, by myself… hehehe.. sana safe naman…

@TheOriginalFVV

sana nga meron. but that will depend kung meron sila makukuha na provider who is willing to do this. medyo malayo din kse from manila to subic which is why its best to grab a place to stay =)

I am torn between Timex and SIM… :( Any thought guys? Btw, I’m planning this to be my first 21K and Timex doesn’t have that category. However, it is organized by runrio and I am pretty sure that it will be a good run… What do u think guys?

Mag-SIM ka na lang. Pero kung ang habol mo ay si papa P, timex :P

• Wala po ba singlets ang 3k or 5k?
• Transportation to subic, meron po ba?
• If NONE, how can i get there from MANILA?

@ChrisL: hahahaha… oo nga eh… wala si Papa P sa Subic… Pero you are right! I am considering SIM… thanks bro…

Hi all!

3k and 5k: no singlets given the price of reg fee.

Unfortunately, chartered transportation won’t be provided.

Directions how to get there from Manila:
-Bus to Olongapo (Victory Liner, Genesis, etc)
-Schedule of trips are at their website
-From olongapo, ride yellow jeeps which passes thru SBMA main gate
-From main gate of SBMA, walk towards remy field (less than 10 mins walk)

See you there!! :)

Hi all!

3k and 5k: no singlets given the price of reg fee.

We’re still working on transportation arrangements so we can’t commit for now. For the meantime, here’s the directions how to get there from Manila:

-Bus to Olongapo (Victory Liner, Genesis, etc)
-Schedule of trips are at their website
-From olongapo, ride yellow jeeps which passes thru SBMA main gate
-From main gate of SBMA, walk towards remy field (less than 10 mins walk)

See you there!! :)

I’m from Tagum City. Pwd po mag pitch ng tent malapit sa parking area? Maraming salamat.

Maselan po sa Subic, that might not be allowed.

wala bang prizes ang subic marathon yung 42k and 21k? pls naman wala sa info..

@ bongalinea
see you at 21K event…kaya mo na yan.

Try mo sa may see front pero I’m not sure. Mahigpit kasi mga officer sa subic. :)

I mean sea front/boardwalk. Hehe.

The bus schedules can be a bit tricky. I think if you take Saulog, you might be late for the marathon. If you have some extra cash, I suggest you rent a motel room near the base on the night before the run. They might allow tents on Magsaysay park just outside the base entrance but that’s a big MAYBE. I think they definitely should designate a tent area for the participants.

sali na!

yung mga pupunta ng sbma dun po kayo bababa sa sm olongapo..from terminal of victory liner sakay kayo ng dilaw na jeep papunta ng sbma.

sabay sabay ang subic, timex, at unity run sa january 22.

@Reena:

I check the previous comments at SIM 2011. I have noticed that there are runners complaining about the lighting @ Argonaut Highway (from Oil Depot->AIA then before the bridge going to lower Mau), i suggest this early SIM’s organizer already has solution to address the runners concern or you may re-route from Remy field to Airport via Maritan Highway (which is well lighted)instead of Argonaut Highway. In so far as the Airport Area is concern, i believe it cannot be lighted because it may bring confusion on SBMA air traffic siguro Marshalls can help the runners. See you Subic SIM’s
runners

to all fellow runners,no problem na as far as lighting problem is concerned.im glad to inform you guys na ok na ang street lights around subic bay freeport zone.from remy field hanggang ocean adventure na turning point ng 42K event activated na ang mga street lights.

@ bong@subicbay

ok na yan pare,alam mo nman dept namin concern jan.hahaha.

STAY SAFE…STAY FIT…KEEP ON RUNNING.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.

@brad@subic

this is good news! this was one of the issues ive noticed when i joined the 2011 edition. maraming salamat! =)

open p b ang registration sa trinoma??

merong registration sa trinoma sa new balance 2nd floor.

I <3 the dog tag! But not sure if I'm ready for 21k. Yehey no cut-off time. I just need a little more info po on transpo. I'm worried about bus availability past midnight

@JP

The earliest trip from Pasay to Olongapo is 2AM. The trip is about 3-4 hours. However, note that gun start for 21K is 5AM. You may plan for Saturday’s last trip (9PM).

i will travel alone, sa room daw kelangan 4 kayo, sino b yun pwede ko samahan..:(

Mei.Lyn:

You could try hotels along Magsaysay Avenue the prices ranges from 1.2k to 1.5k. And it is just a few meters from Remy Field. See you here at Subic Bay

I found Saulog’s a.m. bus schedule online: https://www.flickr.com/photos/44288373@N07/5678654951/

They have a 1 am trip to Olongapo leaving Cavite city but careful lang and compute with your travel times and race start and when the bus might be going through your waiting area.

hi mj., naghahanap din ako makakasama., baka pede tau magsharing sa hotel hehe., 09067333321 ang number ko happy new year

@JP
You’ll be a change passenger and will need to wait along Edsa. They usually stop for a few minutes at Genesis in Cubao for a few minutes to drop off or pickup passengers. The bus stop in Olongapo is just walking distance from Remy field.

For place to stay you may try:

Guys,

You may check Arlene’s Inn III along Magsaysay Drive. Walking distance lang papuntang Gate 1 tapos pagpasok sa Gate 1, Remy Field na. Last time I checked in was P900 for 24hrs. Ok na yong room, good for two.

jheng, elvin, c21, pag wlang transpo na iprovide, pwedeng makisabay na lang din ako sa inyo? parang di okay bumiyahe mag isa e haha

To my fellow SIM runners:

I suggest to get the 11pm Victory Liner last trip on the 21st of January and approximately you will be here at Olongapo City around 2:45am. And, to stand-by @ McDonalds Olongapo @ Magsaysay Avenue.

Brad@Subic, pre yung nakaactivate yung nasa kaliwa nang Arganaut Higway di yung sa kanan. I run from Building 229 to Triboa last nite, then hinabol pa ako nang aso sa bandang AIA dami pala aso duon…

Medyo nalito din ako dun sa timing chip na nasa loob ng foam, first time kong nakakita non. Nakulitan ata sa akin yung NB-Trinoma staff dahil twice kong tinanong, di ko kasi agad nakita yung sensor hehe. Kita-kits pips sa Jan 22 :)

still not yet registered. baka after pa ng PSE bull run makapag-decide. until jan 9 pa naman registration. sino pa dyan yung may balak sumali pero wala pa kasama?

pupunta ako sa unity run sa january 22, sa moa, mukhang mas maganda dun ,

thanks! bong@subicbay .. last trip is ok then wait na lang for the gun start.. magisa lang ako so ayaw ko din nmn magstay ng over night.. hehe salamat.. haahbol ako sa registration. woooohhh!!

i called victory liner pasay 9pm ang last trip nila.. bong@subicbay san victory liner yun 11 pm???

I just saw this from someone’s post in SIM’s facebook page:

I suggest SBMA’s dorm at Cubi Area (P250.00/day). It is a Quonset type which was use by the US Marine and refurbished as a dorm type transient lodging.

registration at New Balance stores is only until Jan. 9

Will they close kaya the route sa traffic? Kasi sa Clark Run namin last December, hindi sinara ang streets, so kasabay namin mga cars sa highway which is scary hehe.

MJ:

My apology for the incomplete information.

Pls. inquire at Victory Liner Caloocan and Espana for the 11pm last trip to Olongapo/Zambales

@Bong

Uu nga, dun sa may Ilanin, may mga aso din. Di kaya manghabol mga aso dun?

@twentyelevenrunner

Yes. Close yung half-side ng kalsada. Don’t worry, safe tumakbo sa SBMA (sa tingin ko).

Chris L – thanks bro, that’s good to hear. Ok na sakin ang half the road kesa sa open road. Di masaya ang mahagip ng mga sasakyan hehe. Lalo na at sa Subic walang traffic, mabilis takbo ng mga auto.

handa na ang place to stay at carpooling for my group! subic intl mary, here we come!!!

I hope they extend registration. I’m registering at NB Trinoma on jan. 9 but I’ve been reading entries on FB that they’ve run out of race packets :(

Hello all!

We are pleased to inform you that the registration at our sites (NB Trinoma, NB Shangri-la, NB Glorietta, NB Marquee Mall and The Outlet, Subic) is extended til January 13, Friday. Register now to run for fun and transformation! :)

Meron din ibang inns malapit sa victory liner terminal. Check mo rin sa WINS yata.

There is an inn sa PNP-Station 2, less 500hun lang ata. See you here at Subic Bay

@ bong@ subic
regarding sa St.lights along Argonaut Hi-way,talagang my mga portion na alternate ang mga ilaw.since we’re implementing EnerCon (Energy Conservation) program here (SBMA) hndi talaga naka full blast un lighting system natin.maliwanag pa din naman un road kya wlang problema.

registered already. hopefully they’ll be able to address the ‘darkness’ on the route =)

ChrisL and brad@subic thank you.. ok il check it… see you!!

kakatingin ko lang sa schedule ng Victory Liner https://www.victoryliner.com/schedules/ at wala na yatang trip ang Victory Liner from Manila to Olongapo na 2300 hours help! :(

sana po magkaroon kayo ng racers-only bus transpo to Olongapo kahit past midnight at along EDSA ang pick-up points at kahit may bayad ok lang. Other races in Subic in the past have had their own buses before.

last day na ng registration haha. still hoping magprovide ng transpo :)

kahit for a fee sana, tulad nung sa nathan, para sa mga bbyahe sa race day.

oo nga i agree, especially for those runner who will drop by in subic just to join

i called them wala daw service..:( haaaaays

Hi all!

Race packet claiming for online registrants is on Jan. 21, 1pm-5pm at the basketball court gym beside Remy field.

Registration at New Balance stores and The Outlet in Subic ended yesterday (Jan. 13) but our online registration will be open until Jan. 20 so you still have a chance to join and register! :) Here’s the link for online registration:

https://subicmarathon.org/onlinereg/

For those who want to join the 3k and 5k categories, we will have an on-site registration on Jan. 21, 9am-12noon and 1pm-3:30pm at the basketball court (covered gym) beside Remy field. See you there! :)

Race packet claim and on-site reg is at Aguinaldo St. at the back of Remy field to be exact. You can find the map of the covered gym at SIM 2012 facebook page:

https://www.facebook.com/SIM2012

aww… they were hinting on facebook that they might be working on some transpo e. I’m only willing to spend on the former Marine barracks but I don’t even know where it is. Is pinoyfitness and other running sites organizing their own transpo? Baka pwede makisama.

My hat’s off for PNP and AFP runners. You deserve Skechers Go-run for shoes and not those flat, awful, old, injury-prone shoes.

hi JP, and the rest of the solo runner, if you want guys let’s meet then sabay sabay tayo magpunta ng subic on 21 then sharing sa room, mas makakamura yun… ^ ^

guys, meron daw 11:45 na trip ung victory liner sa caloocan. byaheng zambales. pde din daw un. baba na lang ng olongapo. confirm nyo na lang po :)

Reena, can the race kit be claimed before the race?

pwede po bang on site reg? kc di maconfirm ang on line reg.namin. we are from Bicol.

Hi @QP, race packets can be claimed on Jan. 21, from 1pm-5pm at the covered basketball court beside Remy field :)

@cider, we have on-site reg for 3k and 5k from 9am-12noon and 1pm-3:30 pm. Our online registration is still on going so you may still register there and pick up your race packet on Jan. 21 :)

See you guys there!

@QP at mj. I will check it out. Ask ko rin kung magkano magrent ng bus to Olongapo after midnight. Baka pwede na tayo mismo ang mag-organize ng bus.

Ms Reena, pwede pa po ba magpalit ng singlet size on-site?

@Reena, we’re planning to take a night bus trip from manila on the 21st kc sana. We won’t be in subic until mga 2am on the 22nd. Any help?

merong byaheng 11pm pa rin manila to olongapo.. 2 bus sya, olongpo and iba sta.cruz. kung walang olongapo, sakan nyo iba sta.cruz. dadaan din yun ng olongapo terminal station.

meron daw 11:00 and 11:55 na trips sa victory liner sa caloocan papunta olongapo :)

thanks melvin and QP,.. last bus trip na lang.. ;)

May on-site registration din ba ang sa 21k?

may on-site registration din ba sa 10k? sarado na sa NB Shang store.

ask ko lang po bakit rejected ang card namin? di daw nagmamatch sa credit card chosen. . gamit ko po RCBC Bancard.. .di tuloy captured ang entry namin . .pwede po bang onsite reg.ang 21k category?

Hi all, please email your individual inquiries and concerns about registration at [email protected]

Thanks :)

May makukuha pa kaya kami na room kung sa sabado pa kami maghahanap dun? :))

Madali lang makakita hotel pero malayo na sa venue.

QueenP

Basically, most of the SIM runners will occupy and have their reservations on the nearest hotels/inns at Subic Bay.There are some hotels/inns you can check-in but the problem is it will be 3-4 blocks or 10-15mins walk to Remy Field. I could name a few at Waterfront Road, Dewey Ave. and Sampson Road in order for you to make a reservation:

A. Waterfront Road (2.5k-3.5k/day)
1. Herbies Mansion
2. Surable Hotel
3. BoardWalk Hotel
4. Lighthouse Marina Resort

B. Sampson Road/Dewey Ave.
1. Casablanca
2. Mango Hotel
3. The Hotel adjacent to San Roque Church

c. Subic International Hotel @ Labitan Road fronting the Ayala Mall Project

I am excited for this run! Can’t wait for Saturday! :)

Everyone enjoy Subic Bay! It’s like running in the states. :)

no training at all for my 2ng 42k.. i’m kinda nervous, but surely i will give all the best… bless us all and keep safe!=)

Meron po Victory Liner leaving Pasay 2 am to Olongapo. Not indicated kung dadaan sa SCTEX so presumed its not. Will this be in Olongapo by 5 am for the 21k run?

yeah! see you!!
