Run United 1 2012 – March 4, 2012

been reading mga comments here. sayang naman kung wala ng FREE MEDS ung race kit. kung kelan pa nagmahal ang fee?

sad …

LEZZZGOOO! my first 21km :)))

Pass on this one and RU 2. Masyado n Mahal saka marami naman jang 21K mas mura pa pero marami ring freebies. Sa RU3 tatakbo ako kasi yan Lang any may 32k. Di NA talaga Kaya ng budget any trilogy. Be wise!

Nakapagtataka talaga ang price increase nila.. Anong calculator ba ginamit nila Coach dito mga ser. At Unilab ang me sponsor dito so me marketing ad value ito para sa Unilab (bukod pa sa mauubos nila ung imbentaryo nilang pa expire na gamot sa kakabigay sa atin). Di ko lubos maisip na kung sponsor to ni Unilab eh bakit parang runners na ang major sponsor ng event na ito sa laki ng reg. fee. Pede bang ung singlet ko “Bitoy” na lang nakalagay at di Unilab… nagtatanong lang po at sana me sumagot sa Unilab o sa Run Rio Inc. .. peace po tayo =)

anu ba yan,ang mahal naman.practice na lang muna for my health.pag-my mura tsaka na lang ako ta takbo dun.talagang grabe na registration

still undecided here…pero after browsing the more than 300 comments (and counting) mukha yatang may “trend” na….

I am not a statistician or survey expert, but I see a similar pattern in the comments here like in the Pasig River Run where notwithstanding the sentiments of the runners (overwhelming majority of comments said they would skip it) still, the organizers boldly targeted another record… and look what happened afterwards, and the issue sa Pasig Run was not even the price….

so, academic query lang, can we use comments and blog in the internet as a “predictor” of sorts? hmmmm, let’s see..

Registration Fees are not affordable. So who is going to be LOL going to the bank.

whew.. it’s sad to note that registration fees for this year got higher than last year. The ordinary earning pinoys who have the passion to run were complaining na nga sa registration last year .. how much more this year that registration fees were up by at least a hundred pesos more. hmmmm … I’d better encourage my running mates to run the 10 miles sa kabilang run na kahit tumaas din is still affordable with 2 singlets pa. I hope Unilab will re-consider their registration pricing in the next 2 runs for this year.

pass muna kami dito… wait na lang namin goldilocks ng March 18 kaya lang sana wag ganito kataas ang reg fee.

hi is there any finisher’s shirt for 5K run??

Base on your comments majority of us against the price, its true why not the organizer have survey first, and i think the add on sana optional like race belt. Nakakadag to kung ikaw ay may race belt na sa tingin mo kaya magagamit mo pa? Sana may optional either with or without race belt. Second more freebies saw mostly sa mga nabasa ko tira tira o malapit na ma expire and same pa din ang lootbag. Lootbag ng timex. Run bgc. Unilab pinapaubis lng. 3rd is for a cause ba to like condura parang wala ko nabasa san mapupunta ung pera kung meron u should inform us para alam nmin.and lastly is discount for family reg. or group reg… At the end tayo naman ang pipili ng sasalihan natin, but it was hard sa isang maralitang runner na gusto ding salihan ng gantong mga event panawagan sa mga organizer sana pakingan ang bawat isa baka sa mga darating na panahon mga oragnizer na lng ang tatakbo sa sarili nyong event. Thank you and always run safe!

Coach rio sa Running Ka nakilala at minahal huwag mo naman antayin isuka ka na ng Running community,mukha nilalamon ka na ng sistema.

Guys,

Di naman kailangan salihan lahat ng races. Mamaya mag-burn out ka. (Read the article of Lit Onrubia sa Runnersworld Jan 2012 Issue I think. Mahusay yung pagkakasulat nun, talks about the different profiles ng runners.) So pacing lang, just like with everything in life.

Again, 3 times a year tong Unilab na ito. Then they plan to add pa a 4th event. Naman, that alone tells you something na negosyo ‘to. Sakto lang sa isang race e annually ginaganap para to keep the excitement & enthusiasm high about its annual rendition. Also to preserve some ‘heritage’ nung event(sorry for this, I cant find the exact words). Tingin nyo ba yung “Big” races would hold their events almost quarterly? Hindi di ba?

Pag maya’t-maya yan e mauumay ka din naman.Just like with everything in life. Worse for beginners, mainjure ka pa sa walang katapusan na pagsali sa race. Remember, just read the many articles about training in the net & magazines, kailangan din ng pahinga at adequate preparations to reap the beneficial health effects of exercise. That’s what we are after all in the first place. Don’t lose focus on this amidst the frenzy & carnival atmosphere & the left & right conduct of these events. If I were you, train & prepare well for an event so that mas rewarding when you go to a race you have signed up for & cap your training cycle with a good results. This is now my personal goal. (Scrappy yung results ko previously.)

To all race-organisers naman, please don’t milk the cow too much…mamatay kasi yung cow. You can fool some of the people all the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all the time.

Good day to all & RIP whitney!

tama yung isang nag comment regarding sa st.peter 200 lang pero well organize oo nga eh cguro depende na rin sa pangalan kilala na kasi .. kumbaga ba yung price ng run pang imported , wala eh popular na kasi yung run ni rio xempre pag popular alam na natin.. nagmamahal pwede rin xang i compare sa shoes na world balance at new balance hehe.

Kawawa naman ang mga runners, pati sa RUNNING COMMUNITY may buwaya narin hehehe

Guys share q lng explanation ng UNILAB regarding their fee increase…

“Thanks for your feedback but we believe we offer more to the runners. Our run is more organized, we give more freebies, and we have a more robust ActiveHealth Village. :)”

“We are aware of what’s being said in Takbo and PinoyFitness and we appreciate the feedback of the runners. Several recalibrations have been developed with the race organizer this year that resulted to an increase in registration fees. Some of these adjustments include better hydration services, new race routes with improved safety and security support for the runners, a more exciting ActiveHealth Village, and race bib holders for the participants. We are confident that just like previous runs, we will be able to provide a great experience for the runners of RU12012. :)”

Question :

Yung mga mas malapit na sa BGC na 21K runners, okay lang ba na dumiretso na lang sa BGC?

dapat patikimin ng flop na event ang united and runrio tandem e. Baka sakaling ma-realized nila that they have decided wrongly on increasing the fees. There are quite a number of events that are reasonably priced and yet well organized (the likes of St Peter, Yakult, Milo, DZMM among others). We had ran the 3 united runs last year so that would be enough na. Would definitely choose to run again those runs last year that are either reasonably priced yet organized and those that part of registration fees will go to a worthy cause (like Nat Geo, Yamaha run for Heroes na kahit medyo expensive are not 100% money making events)

before: wearing runrio singlet was ok
now: ashamed of using it either tingin sayo madaling maloko or newbie (nothing against newbie at all)

@yuna s only 21km finishers will have a finisher’s shirt :)

@Ralph Vaggas yes. your baggage will be transported naman to moa eh :)

lsd na lang muna tayo mga runners,grabe na registration fee ang mahal naman.isip isip muna,marami namang patakbo na mura

si coach at yung may ari ng unilab samahal ng registration fee,pag-dating ng araw may private plane na

di pa ko tuma-takbo,nag-ka cramps ako sa sobrang taas ng registration fee,wala namang benifits.

RIO and UNILAB even bigger than Lolong! ang pinaka malaking BUWAYA s running community…………

Sana wala na yung RACE BIB HOLDER para kahit papaano mabawasan ng 100pesos yung registration fee.

Guys, bumabawi naman sila, they are giving a free running clinic for all registered RU1 runners. Sama kayo?

sa BGC yung run pero po yung map link sa MOA..

guys… para po sa may mga tanong kung bakit nag taas ang reg fees ng runrio trilogy :)

https://runninghost.wordpress.com/2012/02/12/what-are-we-paying-for/

i believe naman po na magiging maganda and masusulit natin ung mga binayad natin eh :) give coach rio a chance, wag mamersonal.

thank you and see you sa mga pupunta!

sana naisip nila kung kakayanin p b ng runner yung pagtaas ng reg fee, sana d n lang cla nag dagdag ng racebelt para d makadagdag sa reg. fee. thanks

di muna kami ta takbo sa unilab,grabe naman ang registration fee ang mahal.may mga patakbo naman na mababa ang fees.grabe na di na for health.tuma-tanda na kasi si coach baka nag-iipon na ng pera.

Kayo na lang … Ingat!

greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedy!!! pass nako dito

sa totoo lang mahal naman talaga.may sipsip pa ata kay coach

curiuos lang, palpak ba o lugi ba ang Run United Trilogy last year?

tingin ko naging very successful naman ang even na to last year, naging mataas din ang ratings ng event na to sa mga runners, almost all of the runners are very sastisfied, kahit may konteng glitches like Bazusporst features, timing chips, unnamed participants or missing race result. i can say, masaya pa ring umuwi ang mga runners after nung event.

ang point ko lang, since naging successful ang event na to last year and obviously hindi naman sila nalugi, kung meron man dapat baguhin o idag-dag, siguro konte na lang yun… aminin man nila o hindi, sobrang taas talaga ng reg fees ngayon.

i love to run sana sa event na to, kung tutuusin may pang bayad naman ako, kaya lang unreasonable na talaga yung prize… sabihin man na maraming giveaways at happenings after the race, tingin ko hindi yun ang essence ng pagtakbo.

ang mahal na ko po naman,di bale may mababa naman na mag-pa patakbo,sana may magaling na ibang organizer,tapos mas maganda pang-mag-patakbo kaysa kay coach.

yung bib holder, ano yan sapalitang ibinibinta? isinama sa reg fees? negosyanteng negosyante ang dating ah!

yung shuttle bus? yung 21K lang naman ang mag shu-shuttle (baka hindi pa lahat makasakay) pero lahat ng fees for different category tumaas.

race route? same pa rin naman BGC/MOA, siguro kung tagaytay yan, corridor, or subic kahit itaas pa maiintindihan yan ng mga runners.

i think it’s high time that runners should let Runrio experience a low turn-out of registrants. I believed they would think and re-plan for their RU2, RU3 and the full mary event for this year regarding their registration fees. Low registration turn-out would definitely make them review their prices for their future running events and decide what are really the essentials that runners are looking for (enough marshalls, strategic hydtration station, enough portalets, kilometer markings and the baggage counter (while medals and finisher’s shirts are bonus to the longest running category for the event) The other add-ons can be shouldered by the sponsors like the booths and freebies and should not extract from the reg fees.

RU have started to sponsor the runs right … good quality of shirts, enough hydration et al… covering the basic requirements of the runners truly adhering to their “Active Health” slogan. Now based on the comments that I have read … one will think it’s a different game ball now for the sponsoring company and the event organizer. But I also believed that they have ears to hear enough from runners and eyes to read the negative comments here at Pinoy Fitness which are serving as avenues for them to improve their reg fees to a reasonable price in their upcoming runs after this RU1.

guys, compare niyo ang Milo Marathon at itong pa run ng Unilab. Both are organized by Coach Rio (tama no?). Both are well organized, both ok ang freebies. Pero bakit ang mahal ng sa Unilab kahit common denominator nila ay si Rio? Hindi kaya dahil si Unilab talaga ang may pakana ng sobrang pagtaas ng fees?Hmmm.peace!

@hitman: you have a point dude! galing a naisip mo yun parehas ko pa naman tinakbuhan yun! mas ok pa nga sa Milo kasi sa freebies pa lang lubos at wagas na! parang libre na yung takbo ko sa dami ng freebies! galing mo Pre! RU organizer hindi masamang mag compare! lahat pa ng binigay ng Milo nagamit or naubos ko. hehehehe!

comment 333 @jhonnycage

Tama! Mga “bloggers” kuno na nakakakuha naman ng mga free race kits kaya “ok” lang sa kanila ang pagtaas ng reg fees. LOL

@hitman & @voritch,

hmmm! tumpak kayo,
wala sa organizer ang taas ng reg fee ng patakbong ito,

again for those who are asking, siguro give time to read this…

https://runninghost.wordpress.com/2012/02/12/what-are-we-paying-for/

wala pa po bang design ang finisher shirt.

here’s the point, kung namamahalan kau, eh di wag kau mag register. is that simple? may iba pa naman takbo na mas mura sa dito.

Sinabi ko na nga ba part ng medal puzzle ang RU Philippine Marathon 42k.

They better have caviar and wine in the Run United 2012 Awards Night! hehe

oha..oha…21k,21k,32k,42k,,,yan ang kelangan mong takbuhin para makabuo ng ganyan medal..pag ndie mo tinakbo ang ganyan cateegory..wala kang medal..
at kung totoong 3k ang 42k…mag babayad ka all in all ng 6k..:)

pass ako dito.

napakamahal ng medal na yan.

@JP,

“They better have caviar and wine in the Run United 2012 Awards Night! hehe”

perhaps you would be referring to RU2013. both 2010 (liquor was served cant remember if there’s any wine) and 2011 offered similar trilogy event. and from what i’ve understood from Rio, they ain’t charging us any for him to put up this gathering

@christian perocho

“wala pa po bang design ang finisher shirt.”

a design was briefly shown last weekend. not sure if jacky (rep from PF) was able to take a snap of it. though i do expect for it to be posted soon

@hitman

“guys, compare niyo ang Milo Marathon at itong pa run ng Unilab. Both are organized by Coach Rio (tama no?). Both are well organized, both ok ang freebies. Pero bakit ang mahal ng sa Unilab kahit common denominator nila ay si Rio? Hindi kaya dahil si Unilab talaga ang may pakana ng sobrang pagtaas ng fees?Hmmm.peace!”

according to Rio, Nestle Philippines absorbs most (if not all) of the cost. i want to believe that Nestle and Unilab has a different set of objectives when providing their events to the running community

so pag nag42k ka lang sa RU Marathon at hindi mo sinalihan yung trilogy, butas na medal ang matatanggap mo? hehe

Reg ako l8r for 21k… Guys tgnan nlng ntin kung anu mangyayari lalu na sa mga fellows ko 21k runner tsaka nlng tyu mag comment… Pero up to now been thnking kung san 2laga mag pa ParK…… Update us specially for 21k runners like Me….. :-(

Not a good idea regarding sa medals.
Paano naman yung mga bago lang nag-run, mapipilitan tumakbo ng 21Kms (sa RU1) para lang mabuo ung puzzle medal nila. Like yung ngayon lang taon nag start mag run then kailangan 21Kms ka agad if you want to complete the United trilogy. And part of the plan is maybe sa RU2 or sa RU3 ka mag-upgrade from lower distance to 21Kms or longer. OK lang siguro kung medyo bata ka pa, paano kung nasa 30’s or 40’s ka na? Kayanin kaya ng “murang” katawan ng taong gustong maging fit and at the same time is mag-enjoy by joining running activities like this?
At sa taas ng registration fee, it’s definitely business. So sad, at medyo nakalimutan yata yung kalagayan ng ibang runners sa bagong marketing strategy ng Runrio at Unilab.
Sana next year, pag-isipan nila mabuti. Maganda sana yung mga medals..sayang naman :(

the comments have indeed reached the RunRio group and Unilab. i think most of us, me included, see the superficial on such events. alisin ang ganito. alisin ang ganyan. come to think of it, the trilogy series has been the benchmark in terms of a fun run. anything below becomes substandard

because of this, Rio and Unilab has a lot of pressure to deal with especially on how they can bring this year’s event to a new level. Unilab offers this stuff 3x a year and on top of that, it is already their 3rd year

prices this year is a bit discouraging. compared to last year that is. on the other hand, no one is forcing anybody to join. i myself is hesitating. especially when i want members of my family to participate as well. i guess everyone still have time to ponder upon if one wants to join the festivities

@hurler345

“so pag nag42k ka lang sa RU Marathon at hindi mo sinalihan yung trilogy, butas na medal ang matatanggap mo? hehe”

you and jaymie (bullrunner) have the same sentiment. this was already raised to rio. i dunno how his team will address this

@Logan

“Reg ako l8r for 21k… Guys tgnan nlng ntin kung anu mangyayari lalu na sa mga fellows ko 21k runner tsaka nlng tyu mag comment… Pero up to now been thnking kung san 2laga mag pa ParK…… Update us specially for 21k runners like Me….. :-(”

i suggest that you park at MOA and take the bus going to BGC. rio mentioned they have like 10 buses to deploy. kung naghahabol ka ng mileage, pwede na din takbuhin papuntang BGC heheheh.

in case hindi mo maabutan ung bus, take a cab na lang as an alternative. since the lower distances will be going to MOA, i am expecting na madami-dami naman ang taxi at that time. hth =)

pass muna ako d2, reg n lang ako sa iba

@eric

“napakamahal ng medal na yan.”

agree. mahal nga. if we are not to consider other factors such as hydration, safety, post-race activities, etc

i dunno about the size of the medal when all 4 has been completed. i hope it becomes a ‘plato’. then what happens next year? hmmm… =)

“you and jaymie (bullrunner) have the same sentiment. this was already raised to rio. i dunno how his team will address this”

dapat loyalty award / medal na lang yan for those who completed the trilogy plus marathon and may seperate medal for those who finished RUPM 42k para fair in both parties

the idea of completing 4 parts to form one round medal is really good marketing strategy..salute!! :-) anyway still 2 thumbs up to runrio races.

baka kaya nila tinaasan ang registration,nakita nila na maraming tumakbo sa condura,akala siguro nila ta takbuhan sila ng mga runner na ganung karami.halata naman na negosyo na,

@barefootdaves
“i dunno about the size of the medal when all 4 has been completed. i hope it becomes a ‘plato’. then what happens next year? hmmm… =)”

…As compared sa mala-platito na medal ng 42k sa condura? :)))

may schedule na ba kung kelan ang 42K nito?

someone please give the size of the RU1 medal

from there we can approximate the total size

even for great quality, RU trilogy is out of reach for me, the marathon if it’s 2.5K to 3K is way too expensive

there are many runs that are not as great but good quality which are affordable and get more value for money

i have free will, so pass na lang ako dito. .. and a concience- 900 is my one week pamalengke for my small family. Peace sa ating lahat na mananakbo.

Sino nga pala beneficiary ng run na ito?

@winston beneficiaries are Gawad Kalinga and Hero Foundation Inc. as indicated in the official event poster. :)

ung wedding este ung honeymoon este…wala ata.
sino nga ba? jowk!

practice na lang own muna kanya kanya tapos takbo tayo sa yakult 10 miler sa april 1. mura ang reg fee at siguradong okay ka tyan.

@manugdalagan
..ang date na sinabi nung RU3 2011 ay October ang schedule ng RUPM.

kahit anong angulo tignan, negosyo ito. but too much greed is not good, it will start one’s downfall

ano ba yan.ang mahal naman.su sunod konti na lang ta takbo.maganda siguro pahinga muna sa mga registration.kita kita na lang kami sa fort practice na lang muna

…..same sentiments here biruin nyo half of employee namin sumasali sa fun run pero kanina lang ayaw nila sumali dito sa RU pero naka plano na kmi na bubuuin namin ang RU sabi nila sa ibang fun run na lang daw,kasi pambaon na nila for the whole week yung registration s 21k e! parang ayaw ko na rin masaya kasi pag marami kayo nag run. parang team building na nga rin namin yan e! so baka hanap na lang nang mura para makasali ulit kami lahat. share lang mga peepz! goodluck sa mga tatakbo at makaka complete ng trilogy atleast may limited edition kayong medal! he he he!

@comment 319:
dati halos lahat yata ng RunRio nasalihan ko, tambak na rin finisher’s singlet ko, certificates at medals.
pero ngayon, ganyan na nga nararamdaman ko,kaya di na ako sumasali sa mga patakbo niya,maliban lang sa Milo.

baka next time 10x a year magpatakbo yan.

my fellow runners sa totoo lang mahal naman talaga.marami namang patakbo na naka-schedule.dun na lang muna tayo tumakbo,paminsan minsan naman sana maramdaman naman ng unilab at ni coach ayaw natin ng masyadong mahal na registration.

hahahhaah….nangangatog n runrio at unilab….puro pgpapasikat ginagawa nla bgo mgstart leg 1,…eto t ngdistribute ng certificate, ngpakain s mga blogger s contis pra mganda msulat t kung baket lhat ng bloggers e sumapi n s knila bka nvgyan din ng free race kit, antayin n lng nten pacontest ng mga bloggers for free race kit,…ngaun nmn mgpapaparty, “nakatapos ka ng RunUnited leg 1 21k RunUnited leg 2 21k RunUnited leg 3 32k..you deserve a Grand Awards night at 2012 RunRio Trilogy Awards night Feb20 6pm. Invites sent via courier.”
tpos miniminimo lng pla invites, di lhat ng nkatapos dun s mga nbanggit e ksama….ano b yan!

O eto mukhang isa sa mga “bloggers” na pinakain ng Runrio sa Conti’s LOL

https://ulikblogrunner.wordpress.com/2012/02/15/juan-talangka-o-juan-dela-cruz/

runrio, milo na lang takbuhin natin. pero runrio series, pass na muna ako. sa kanila na medal nila. :))

@dawg, tama ka.. siguro naambunan yan ng free race kit!

Akala kasi nila ganon kadaling hanapin ang pera para sa mga mahihirap.. 900 half sack of rice na yan.

Gusto lang naming tumakbo at the sametime suportahan ang runrio at unilab dahil sa kanila kami nag umipasa pero hanggang ngayon nag iisip pa din kami kung tatakbo pa sa RU1..

Nag pa-running clinic pa, e di naman lahat makakapunta don dahil malayo ang karamihan.. another gastos pa for pamasahe or gasolina kapag pumunta don.. haysss… runrio, puro kayo pakulo…

ask ko lang anung oras kaya nasa moa yung bus na magtransport ng 21k runners.

Dami na talagang blogger na bayaran. Free race kit or pakain lng ba katapat? tsk tsk tsk mga uto-uto. Ika nga, we’ve created a monster, haha. Yung ibang race organizers jan chance nyo na ito pra masapawan runrio, alam nyo na cguro formula ngayon.
@comment 374: may silbe nman yung singlet ng runrio, ako dinonate ko sa cdo victims. at least nkatulong din kahit papano kesa nkatambak lng.

May race sa Clark sa March 3, 2012. Run with the Heroes 2 (organize ng Airforce).. Pansin ko lang di nkpost yun event..650 lang yun 21k at yun 12km 450php w/tree planting activity pa..I registered at Chris Sports Pampanga.. Better scenery than Manila :p

https://runninghost.wordpress.com/2012/02/12/what-are-we-paying-for/#comment-18

naintindihan ko na. tama, 1point.

@johnny #382

O.A. ka naman sino b pumipilit sayo n sumali s race n to? wala naman diba, its d runner’s choice kung sasali sya o hindi! and re: s singlet mo n dinonate s CDO hahahaha lokohin mo lelang mo! hindi kmi oinanganak kahapon… hahahah BITER KA!

huwag na mag-away away… magpabilisan na lang kayo… hahaha!

@QP

“…As compared sa mala-platito na medal ng 42k sa condura? :)))”

bitterness still lingers. i still hope to get that condura platito next year. RU series might wipe that off if their medal is a whole lot BIGGER ;)

@boyboy

“someone please give the size of the RU1 medal”

also trying to find out kung gaano kalaki ung medal. hopefully runrio sends out the details =)

@bamboo

“kita kita na lang kami sa fort practice na lang muna”

see yah there =)

@johnny

“Dami na talagang blogger na bayaran. Free race kit or pakain lng ba katapat? tsk tsk tsk mga uto-uto”

reading out of context you’ve mentioned ‘madami’, buti na lang at hindi naging ‘lahat’ else i’ll be one of those bayaran na blogger

@bulastog

ngaun nmn mgpapaparty, “nakatapos ka ng RunUnited leg 1 21k RunUnited leg 2 21k RunUnited leg 3 32k..you deserve a Grand Awards night at 2012 RunRio Trilogy Awards night Feb20 6pm. Invites sent via courier.”

similar to what they’ve done last year. all those who finished the longest distances from the runrio series 2010. and i hope runrio will continue to do so until next year to those will be able to complete the 2012 edition

by the way, the awards night is spearheaded by runrio themselves as a way to thank the runners who continue their patronage with the trilogy. i was lucky to grace the event last year as a guest/onlooker

@pip #385 Yep hindi po tlaga ako sumasali sa runrio races eversince. Milo lng po nasalihan ko and RU3 32k last year, in prep for my 1st FM last Dec sa QCIM. Just read on the sentiments posted here, cguro time will come marerealize mo rin na may point yung discussions dito. Or cguro can afford ka lng tlaga kaya ok lng sau high reg fee. And regarding sa singlet, totoo po nagpadala kami 2 boxes of used & new clothes sa cdo last Dec ksama napo ang mga singlet ko. Libre nman padala sa LBC that time. Kayo po ba nkapagdonate? Just asking. Peace!

@barefootdaves #390 I guess & hope you’re not one of those “bayaran”. Keep up the good work on your blog…will check on it once in a while.

Galing sa # 384, @Doyk

Naiintindihan ko na rin. All we need is just open our minds. Wag makitid mag isip. Sige na nga, tatakbo na kami dito… :)

@johnny

“I guess & hope you’re not one of those “bayaran””

very strong statement if i may say. claims should be substantiated. to be honest, hindi ko alam kung sino ung mga binabanggit dito na bayaran o sipsip na blogger

not unless names are mentioned then the above mentioned is aimed to *all* bloggers. (do we exclude mr pinoyfitness in this case?) with that, i couldn’t help myself but be offended. i hope we do not generalize or accuse anyone

been blogging (and running) for 2 years. very young compared to those ‘well known’. but my reason to write was to share my own views and experiences (both bitter and sweet) in order to help the running community. and will remain the same for the coming years

sorry pero d ako tatakbo d2, mahal talaga

900 plus pagpunta ko pa site almost 1k plus magagatos ko pauwi ko p wag na lang

[edited-retracted statement] Guys, confirmed ko po from Unilab employees that they’re getting free race kits (minimum of 10,000 employees running in RU1) so who’s paying for their hydration, singlets, race belt, freebies and finisher’s kits? You guessed it

Hi Guys.. Tanung lang po.

May naka receive na po ba na RACE KIT sa inyo?
Para dun sa nag reg. online

Thanks.

sa march 4 na ba natin makikita ung finisher’s shirt? (surprise effect)
malapit na mag RU1 eh. ahahaha sorry atat. excited na kasi ako. PEACE tayo!
