Baguio 21K – April 8, 2012

This is just too tempting and i always love Baguio, the weather and the friendly people.

Try ko kya ito?

ANNIVERSARY RUN ,GO KAMI AFTER NG HONEYMOON,

@ gumihorunner go go go po.. masarap po mag run d2 sa baguipo.. =)

hmmm, thinking…sana lang wala conflict sa schedule ko…

singlet? finishers kit? sabagay matagal pa to pero will probably go to Baguio for this run :)

wow… pwede na magplano….hehehehe…. kahit 10K lang…. game na… :o)

Yes, please provide singlet design, medals if any, or finisher’s shirt if any…

Nice! Naalala ko ulit ang Nathan Ridge Run…Cold Wind and beautiful scenery. Join ako dito.

Yup, nakakamiss ung sa Nathan tuloy. Ano kaya mas mahirap? Baguio o sa Tagaytay Highlands? Anyone here na nakapunta na sa Burnham Lake Drive at Tagaytay Highlands?

sana as early as January makapaglabas na ng details para ma plan ahead.. dahil easter sunday ito tiyak maraming bakasyonista nito…

would love to run at Baguio…..

I’ll file my vacation leave and i will bring my wife for this event. excited na ko.

I recommend that you guys join this event, i ran in the 21k category and it was so challenging and exciting. Its the vertical running that will tire your legs out, flat roads are gonna serve as your rest moments. You’ll be doing patintero along the curvy steep roads and but no one encountered an accident naman. I remember having to stop and peek at the sharp curvy portions of the hi-way for incoming vehicles tapos i had face to face a wall and stand still dahil sa mga fast vehicles. If you really want a different challenge i recommend that you sign up for this one.

@dbron: mas extreme pa rin ung uphills ng nathan. pero challenging din ung s burnham. (although di ko pa natry tumakbo dun) and mas lalo magiging challenging ung run because of the weather. di gaano malamig ung weather nung nathan s tagaytay eh but i’m pretty sure the weather in baguio will give you a different kind of running experience. :)

@pissedoffchick thanks, planning to do a 21K on this one. minsanan lng to :)

Anybody from Baguio who wants to accommodate a Metro Manila runner for a night para tipid? :D

based on actual experience this race is highly recommended! i was supposed to join again but reconsidered. race date is easter sunday! yikes! heavy human/vehicular traffic!

this year’s edition was fun and i’d expect a whole lot more for 2012. gotta buy some gloves since its gonna be chilly

worry lang talaga dito e ung crowd.. since it’s Easter Sunday, peak season sa pagtravel ng bus at pagbook ng accommodation..

love this…

hirap dito tagal biyahe hehehe… pero sarap magrun kasi puro uphill and downhill..lalo sa camp john hay sarap mag run

wow…tempting pero easter sunday..parang mahirap ang accomodation at sana makakuha uli promo sa cebupac for next year…Davao pa kasi kami…

this is an exciting event. however, the organizer must reconsider if it can reset the date possibly, a week later. april 8 is easter sunday, and baguio would be teeming with tourists and vacationers. full of traffic and lodgings are congested. not to mention, more expensive. runners coming from other parts of the country would find it more difficult to cope.

wow interesting :) parang ang sarap umakyat ah!

arghh…sayang to, different experience sana. Easter Sunday..hays..sana ibang date..

Nice ‘to. I hope tumugma sa schedule at budget. I expect this better than Tagaytay Highlands. Sana…

I agree….sana mai-move ang sched siguro after Holy Week…I want this to be my first 21k

hoping!!!!!

Sana makauwi ako para maka join ako sa running event na eto.I will do some series of fall run here and i hope to do this one when i get home.

PF peeps, sali tayo dito. anniversary run for me ^_^

Sana talaga ibang date…para maisali ko ito sa aking planned na ‘Hill Trilogy’ for 2012..

Makiling Challenge
Nathan Ridge Run
Corregidor Intl HM

Kaso pag sinama ko to e di na Trilogy..Trilogy +1 na. hmmmm. Ano na tawag dun? Tetralogy? hmm, iba na yata yun.

Note to Post #13.

…You’ll be doing patintero along the curvy steep roads and but no one encountered an accident naman. I remember having to stop and peek at the sharp curvy portions of the hi-way for incoming vehicles tapos i had face to face a wall and stand still dahil sa mga fast vehicles….

Hmmm…this happened in-race? You had to patintero then peek..The words..stop.peak.sharp.highway.fast…in one sentence & it describes a race is NOT necessarily encouraging & gives praise to the race organization!? Tama ba po?

@Lance A.: First of all, i would like to know if you are being as sarcastic & rude as i thought you look like huh!!! Do you think that with your sarcasm magaling ka na to even question my post which i shared with such humour since it was so challenging and fun for me, but you perceived it differently. Are you even related to the organizer of this event at umaarte ka at nagmamagaling ka???? FOR YOUR INFORMATION, you don’t have the singlest idea of what this event is all about and to add i know Mr. Pacle personally and he knew every and all experiences that all runners went through in last years event ok!!!!

Kaya, before you make a smarty pants display of your brains at magpapansin dito sa PF, make an effort to understand the underlying tone of the comment or better, wag kang nakikialam sa mga comments that have nothing directly to do with you!!!!

^

My question is valid: In-race ba yan nangyari? Im after safety issues here in joining a race. Im not trying to be smart nor sarcastic. I dont have to. My question remains valid and objective.

DETAILS.. DETAILS.. DETAILS… :)

REGISTRATION FOR MANILA…SANA MERON

i joined in this event last year and I love it! slight problem lang is yung mga sasakyan kasi alam naman po natin siguro na narrow ung mga road sa baguio…other than that maayos yung overall event. May unlimited pandesal pa after the race! =) if i recall it right, last year yung registration site po dito sa Manila was at The Secondwind running stores.

We were just approaching loakan airport when we met Vertek Buenavista (full speed uphill) together with a kenyan on their way back to finish line, already made their u-turn somewhere at Kias. I think Vertek won this race. Just one of the many great moments of Baguio21k 2011.

Baguio21k 2012 already on my list.

sna maresched ito one week before the orig sched.hoping…..

Hi cecillevibar! I think Lance A question is valid and not arguable. As a fellow runner, of course the 1st thing that comes to my mind is safety during the road run..If you have to stop, peek, and face the wall so as not to be sideswiped by fast moving vehicles..Then I recommend the organizers should do something ’bout it. I’d like to join this event though.

Sir Philip,

i was wondering if our grp fr subic can pre reg, pay our fees via ur bank & send the docs via email & dep slips? so dat we are assured of our race #s b4 we go up to baguio …. salamt po ng marami

bong.
RAW, Subic

pa-move po ng date pleeeeeeeez. :-)

pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez :-P

@ cecillevivar comments # 33

TWO THUMBS UP…

LOLZ to mr lance mouthstrong…sorry armstrong pla.

relax guys…

PEACE & HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS.

looking forward to this event. hope this pushes thru =)

@Lance A.

-bro, yung concern mo valid.no one would like a run where there will be portions where you have to face a wall just to let vehicles pass. running is passion, but it it’s a risk to one’s life, then it’s something to think about

merry xmas to all!

@tortoise runner & takbo lang

Safety issues lang talaga…valid issue yan kahit ano pang race. No race is worth getting yourself injured or worse killed.

Happy Holiday!

@Ms Cecille: Thanks for giving us some peeks about this race.

@Lance A. You may have some valid safety concerns, pero medyo mali ka nga talaga doon sa initial reaction mo sa comment ni Cecille. Wala naman akong nakitang mali doon sa post niya. Anyway, you can rectify it next time and just be more careful.

share ko lang…

Registration starts on January 15 at the following registration centers: CHRIS SPORTS – SM City Baguio, SM CITY, Pampanga, SM CITY Pangasinan, Market Market, A Runner’s Circle, Secondwind Running Stores, Baguio 35a Rimando. To avail of personalized BIB you must register early. thanks!!

Let’s hope that the organizers become aware of the current issues

1. Safety – to a serious runner, having to worry about speeding vehicles during a race is not funny no matter how humorous you put it in a post, Good Catch to Mr. Lance A.

2. Race Date – Please consider moving it because it is evident that more people will join if you do so, i’m one of them.

may map ba kayo nung 21k lastyear?!

Sir/ Maam,

My running grp wud like to run in ur april 8 event.
We we’re wondering if we cud reg on line, pay our fees thru ur bank & just get our race packs a day b4 race day?
We’ll be coming fr subic.

tnx,
bong
RAW. subic

bong alinea. pde naman yung suggestion mo. please deposit your registration fees at BDO account 5478012120 (Checking) company Renderfarm Graphics then you can email the deposit slip together with your runners info (full name, address, bday, sex, contact, email ad, singlet size) or as a group with one person to contact. Thanks

cavite runner: we have the map of last year.I can email you.

@bong alinea: my workm8 is going to talk to sir phillip pacle, since the latter is his uncle if we can make the payment thru a bank like last year and we claimed our racekits a day before the race at a specific hotel venue. I’ll update you on it ;)

@Beastrunner: Let me tell you that the humour was and will be exclusively mine to reminisce… I’ve been there and done it so it makes me qualified to share my thoughts about this event. DO NOT PREACH RIGHTEOUSNESS ABOUT SOMETHING YOU HAVEN’T EXPERIENCED YET okay!! That was how i felt and besides, if you are so particular about safety, just don’t join this event bec. even if you are just a bystander in a safe corner in some place, if you are destined to meet an accident, then it is inevitable that you will.

Cecille: Uly is well informed of how you’re gonna register. Please deposit your registration fees at BDO account 5478012120 (Checking) company Renderfarm Graphics then email the deposit slip together with your runners info (full name, address, bday, sex, contact, email ad, singlet size) or as a group with one person to contact. Race Kit can be claimed at Baguio Convention Center between April 5-6-7, 9am to 5pm. Thanks

first ANNIVERSARY RUN ko sana, sana ma-move week after april 08 pra hinde nman msyado mahirap mag travel… pls pls..

okay sir pm ko na lang yung email ko..

sir how can i send you my email?! or instead post it here na lang sa pf para sa karamihan na din po.. thanks..

racekit includes singlet?!

we are finalizing details of the route. we will post it again here

hi wala po bang online reg.

@Philip Aquino Pacle: can we refer to the 2011 baguio run race route? will the road repair being done by DPWH affect the 2012 baguio run race route?

@GSRjeri: kindly refer to the post of Sir phillip on post no. 52 & 56 for online registration ;)

thanks cecille.

@pacer: Hi. Road rehabilitation along the course of the route is done and wont affect the 2012 race route. However, there are added hills…. so we call it this time “JUST RUN THE HILLS!” More challenging. Tell your friends about Baguio 21K

may singlet po ba ito? at finisher’s medal for the 21k runners?

@steve: yes for both queries. Im not sure if its gonna be the same like last year. We registered thru bank payment and emailed our race info to renderfarm graphics and we claimed our racekits the day before the race in baguio at a specific hotel

wala po ba ito singlet?… c”,)

21 km have finisher shirts and finishers medal… pls let me know… thnks..

how about 5km and 10km they have finisher shirts and medals also… thnks..

i just registered and was able to talk to philip – the race organizer. according to him, start/finish line is at burnham. finisher’s medal for all 21k will be given. personalized bib will be until feb 15 registration only :)

Downhill then uphill pabalik sarap! padagdag lang ng hydration station sa last 5kms. Saka smaller cups na din gamitin para hindi sayang.

di ba pwede mag extend sa reg…pls

Yes adizero, noted! Mas challenging ngayon ang ruta. @angrybird – Feb 15 yung personalized bib.

I’m bringing an officemate and two relatives to this event this time.

Ang frustration ko lang last year, wala akong kasamang tumakbo. Kaya wala din akong picture. Tagal ko nag-abang ng mga pictures, walang lumabas.

Ralph hope this time meron ka na kuha. thanks for your support.

Pwede pa po humabol yung gusto mag register para sa PERSONALIZED BIB. One week extension. maganda pang display, sikat ka!

Walang singet?

singlet? yes of course, meron

sana po magkaroon kayo sa trinoma or sm north na regs site.. need quick rsponds salamat po…

Bong got all your text messages. See you Thursday, at 7 11 Rimando. Yes you are assured of your nicks.

to join or not to join (again). . :)

sarap tumakbo dito . .. from start to finish to sweat sa lamig :)

@Philip Aquino Pacle

sir, i will be skipping this year’s edition. most (if not all) of the not-so-expensive hotels surrounding the park is fully booked already

i should’ve aimed for an early booking knowing that the event coincided with holy week where most people heed to baguio

hope to see you next year. btw, when will renderfarmsports.com be fixed so i can monitor the races that your team will organize?

thanks!

I joined last year’s event..sayang nga lng at di ako makatend this year… Good Luck sa mga runners…

barefootdaves. Thanks for your interest dave… Accom is not an issue I can help you via transient if you are serious to participate.

Me medal po 21K or finisher shirt. . .

may finisher’s medal po.

magpa reg po kami ng grupo namin tom sa manila. 7 runners po kami. can we still have our bib personalized? thanks and more power!

Carol, thanks for your interest. Request is granted.
