In case I join this run, this will be my first time. Is there a picnic or recreation area nearby for my wife and kids to wait while I run?

Is there singlet other than the finisher’s t-shirt & medal? Kindly post design if any… Also, hoping there is a registration site anywhere near Sta. Rosa, Laguna.

Anyone knows if there’s an available hydration stations along the race course? or we need to bring our own hydration kit.

@Khurot – For now, I’m thinking of joining kasi wala pa namang magandang race na nka schedule for the month of July…Plan ko din kasi na mas tipid tumakbo ng at least 1 Ultramarathon a month than running 21K Runs twice or thrice a month…..Kaya niyo yan basta Train, Train, Train and Train lang….Ultramarathons are always a game of Mind over Body hehehe

@Jhunbie Serna, thanks…..

may singlet po b upon registration? Just asking:)

@Khurot Runners – Takbo kayo sa T2N 50K Ultramarathon this coming May 20 para masanay na kayo sa 50K Run…:-)

@Jhunbie Serna, pano pa sumali don? sa Tagaytay – Nasugbo lang ba yon? FB mo si Edmar maya pag uwi ko mag online ako add kita..

Thanks

bkt wala response ang organizer sa mga inquiries? makaregister na nga. robinson fit & fun budy run.

bakit nga kaya wala man lang reply ang organizer sa mga inquiries ng runners??Hummmmpp……..esep2:(

@dimple, may ka runningm8 knb s Robinson’s Fit & Run Buddy Run? Required ata un db? Just asking lone runner lang kc me kaya di me pwede dun huhuhu….

passionista: pasensya na po me ka-buddy na kasi ako.

I joined last year and will definitely run the 50k event again. There are no singlet and freebies. Only finisher shirt, medal, and post race meal. It was not a promise that there will be a loot bag but they were able to provide us. It was a shoe bag, power bar, and magazines. They might surpise us again this year plus an extra miles maybe. They even provide a shuttle going back to Manila.

teka, aabot ba ung 50km sa 9hr cut off? mukhang mabilisan to ah.

it’s ok dimple. Thanks anyway:)

to all inquiries about the singlet for this event, last year i joined this ultramarathon trail event upon registration you will just get your racebib then that’s it :D it’s more on the route and scenery of the said event just like papi jonel ALL THRILLS NO FRILLS! but i can assure you guys this is one of the best ultra trail run! :D cheers!

well said Night Runner & Maxell.

Thank you :)

Guys, pano po pumunta sa NUVALI… meron din ba shuttle papunta don?

trail runners asking only. What more really on trail run, is it more on rough & rocky roads than the normal road? Or is it more on hills than the flat surface? Like to join here for the first time.Please give some info. for this (TRAIL RUN). I did running on the roads & treadmill many times. Should it be ok or enough for me to join this new adventure for me?
Kind regards,

medical/doctar’s certificate? req po?

sana meron 16k

Here are some answers to your queries. Regarding registration if you cannot go to A Runner’s Circle Running Store in Manila neither at Antel Platinum in Makati. You can just deposit your registration fee at BPI see the account number posted and instructions how to do it. You will just get your race bib on the race day.
Coming from Metro Manila there are plenty of buses, fx, and vans that goes to Sta. Rosa, Laguna. They have terminals in Cubao, Buendia, and Alabang.
Since it is in Nuvali your family and friends have a good place to roam around as they wait for you to cross the finish line.
Trail running is definitely different from road runs. It is uneven ground and most of the time it is rock and soil. It is not an ultra fast route.
No medical clearance required since you will signed a waiver but it is best to see your doctor if you are fit to run. I always see my doctor prior to joining ultramarathons.
Hope this will help and you see at the trail.

Wala po bang free shuttle dito? First trip kasi sa buendia ay 5:30am na. Di na aabot sa gun start. Sana meron, kahit may extra charge, Makati – Nuvali and vice versa.

please consider shuttle service para maka-join kami. willing kami magbayad im sure marami rin cguro mag-aavail na runners.

tama! sana may shuttle from Makati, at pick up din sa Alabang (for Alabang runners). Sana maisip ito ng organizer.

Yung transpo nga ang dahilan kung bakit dipa kami ngreregister ng friend ko, willing naman din kami magbayad ang additional. khit bgc na lng din pick up or makati.

any shuttle service? madami willing to paid naman for transpo fee….

it’s a frontrunner event. expect a no frills event. if you can’t go to the event because of lack of transpo, then don’t run.

Inaayos na daw ng organizer ang transpo, sana nga magkarun.

sana may malapit po na registration dito sa laguna,kasi this is my first time to run in trail run,mear nuvali lang kasi ako

@ jayron regarding registration you can just deposit your registration fee at any BPI branch see the account number posted and instructions how to do it. You will just get your race bib during the race briefing or 1 hour before the gunstart on the race day.

transpo please.

‘valley’? ibig sabihin po ba patag ang tatakbuhan? walang bundok na daraanan?

race course? map?

saan design ng finisher shirt?

i would like to join this one..

Won’t you be opening a registration site in Nuvali?

any feedback?

walang registration sa nuvali??

still no feedback from organizer… might consider other running event nalang PATAFA Road Racing Grand Prix Leg 2 is also on July 1…

any update kung may transpo from manila to nuvali vice versa?.. willing to pay extra.. purita lang kami walang kotse.. hehe

Sir! sigurado knbng 50k yan? bk 57 ulit yan kgaya last year?! anyway i’ll definitely join this for i will break my PR… learned a lot last year.. see yah!

This will be my first trail run. And the location is great. We already run to that location. Un nga lang, 5k lng with “Outbreak Manila”.

kailangan po ba ng support dito like mga road ultras? or may aid stations?

please post the race route. Thanks

guys, kung me kakilala kayo nagpaparent ng van magshare-share nalang tayo para makatakbo tayo sa event na eto.

Wait lang tayo mga runners,wait lang natin kung magkano ba ang rent halfday ng van papunta nuvali.tapos rent tayo..canvas na din kayo ng regular bus fare pa punta sa nuvali para alam lang natin kung makakatipid ba tayo or sobrang mahal yung rent ng van..thanks..

sasali ako 25K muna… sana more info pa. para mas marami makasali

Baka naman dumami freebies ulet dito. Na kilometers! :D

Hey.. Anyone know where I can find more info about this trailrun.. Transport to the area,hotels nearby perhaps.. And Itiniary about the trail,mud,water and so on…?

Thanks:)

Sasama kami sa van kung sakali, dalawa po kami. Di pa kami nagpaparegister kasi naghahanap pa kami ng transpo option.

Kasing lupit ba ito ng Salomon, Nature at Merrell with all the vertical climbs and rappelling involved?

Yung nasa picture kasi medyo panatag sa kalooban eh.

Any feedback from last year’s runners?

@Mavicity: from what i’ve gathered from fellow runners, medyo patag daw ito. ang kalaban daw dito is init kasi wide open ang majority ng trail :)

Hi! 24 hours daw ang registration dun sa antelbldng. Sa guard na lang daw papa register tapos yung bib, sa site na lang ibibigay. wala pang update sa transpo. di pa daw sure,kung mag po provide sila ng bus.

just registered last night at antel tower, it was 24/7. :)

Hi! Anyone who wants to avail of the ride from Boni Ave to nuvali. Back and forth .Text me at 09184595910 to reserved. P400 only. Reservation is not refundable but transferable. Thanks..

I just want to share my experience last year. 2 loops for the 50 + 7 km freebie miles. There are 4 aid stations per loop so better bring a hydration belt or bag. You must also bring extra dry clothes for you to change after the 1st loop. I brought a cap that even protects my neck and even arm sleeves. Trail shoes is recommended. It is a rolling terrain not much of uphills. If you will run 6 km per hour you can finish it within cut-off time of 9 hours. I was able to finish it 30 minutes before the cut-off. And I will try to beat my time this year.

@jm

private vehicle ba yan sir? or nagorganize kayo to rent a
shuttle bus?

mapupunta na naman sa “new zealand”!…wanna know? join this run.

2nd wind: maganda ba yung finisher shirt last year?

@michael angelo

Private vehicle po..
