  1. re-posting jujjay’s comment #103 because it goes to the heart of the egotistical argument here:

    “In running, it doesn’t matter whether you come in first, in the middle of the pack, or last. You can say, ‘I have finished.’ There is a lot of satisfaction in that.”
    -Fred Lebow, New York City Marathon co-founder

    NYC Marathon co-founder yan! Buti pa sila malawak ang pag-uunawa di tulad ng iba jan beking nagrereyna-reynahan akala mo kung sinong elite runner na nasasaktan ang pride pag nakakakita ng mga walkathoners at puro pag-aalipusta ang inaatupag dito

  2. @chuva
    about comment# 159
    Kung nakikita mo po mga race pics at pati sa starting lines sa events mismo mas madalas sa hindi nasa unahan po sa starting line ng mga races ang mga Kenyans, elite runners, professional runners, coaches at mga Phil. National team runners. Minsan mga organizers na mismo ang nagsasabi na pumwesto sila sa harap.

    So ibig sabihin ba non sila ay, in your own words, “atat at pampansin tulad ng mga nakikiusong bekimons!”? Are you sure you want to yank that lion’s tail? lols

  3. peeps

    sa mga may debit card like union eon card gagana po yun sa online registration, my Gf tried last night pumasok sya :) pero may additional 64php, so 964 pesos, deposit 1000php para gumana, last time kasi 900 lang dineposit ko eh kaya di pumasok, pero mas ok na option kesa sa ccard para walang charge ng card provider.

  4. Sa mga may problema sa mga naglalakad, bakit di nyo sa suggest sa organizer na isama sa rules and regulations na ” Bawal ang maglakad sa race tract or nagprovide ng separate route para sa mga runner na naglalakad at di naglalakad”….Tingnan natin kung may organizer/s na gagawa nun…..

  5. Buti pa yung mga totoong elite runners di naman inaalipusta ang mga walkathoners mas malawak pag-uunawa nila kesa sa mga papansin dito. Daig pa ng kayabangan nyo ang speed mga Kenyans haha!

    Good sportsmanship and outstanding, tolerant attitude will always separate the true elite athletes from the intolerant posers who think they’re better than everyone else. I just remembered this is why everyone hates MLB pitcher John Rocker haha

  6. bakit dami nag aaway dito,,haays! ang dami walang respeto sa kapwa. Dami ko na rin takbo pero ni minsan di ko pinakkialaman may walkathoner/s man akong madaanan o malagpasan. Respect guys! lagi natin isaisip na ang lahat ng ito ay pansamantala lamang..iwasang MAGYABANG..may karma yan:) peace!

  7. gusto ko mag join. this will be my first run if ever.categorally speaking im a beginner/novice runner. nakaka discourage naman yun iba nag cocomment kung mabagal ka o naglalakad. ang main goal ko muna rightnow is to enjoy the run and reach the finish line. can someone suggest which distance ang pwede ko i choose as a beginner? pwede na ba 5k as a start?cencia na po.

  8. Clarification lang. Pag nag early-bird registration para sa 21k e singlet pa lang ang makukuha nyo agad. Meron na kasi akong nakitang nagrereklamo sa Toby’s The Block e.

    To follow ang PERSONALIZED TIMING CARD at UNIQUE RUNNER’S ID… sana nga lang iba sa green shoe chip ng runrio last year na mega-FAIL sa dami nang di nakuhanan ng finishing time. Tinapon ko na agad yung sa’kin

  9. hala ang daming nagrequest nung RU1 na mas lalong paramihin ang slots sa RU at tinupad naman daw ni coach Rio.

    Kaya kayong mga perwisyong perwisyo sa mga walkathoners e sa harap na lang kayo ng starting line pumwesto kung kaya nyong di mahulog sa stampede tingnan natin kung mabilis nga talaga kayo puro PR ni jeffpoblete bukambibig nyo pero wala naman kayong maibigay na sarili nyong PR puro yabang lang kayong mga nagrereyna-reynahang beki hahahaha!

  10. John Bernardo wag mu na lang pansinin. Ok mag start sa 5K pero syempre mag practice din para sa event. @ JP saan ka nag reg? Hindi ba sau kinuha old timing chip mo?

  11. Tignan mu JP hindi ko pala binasa mabuti ang comment mo,dahil wla ka ng timing chip tinapon mo,tapos kami na may timing chip surrender pa namin dapat sana kolektors item na un,tapos ikaw wala mai-present bibigyan ng new personalized timing card? nakukuha mu ba gusto kong sabihin? tlga naman di pa makukuha un picco kasama un sa race pack at un sinasabi mong UNIQUE RUNNERS ID malaman mu na agad yan,tignan mu sa resibo ng binayaran mong reg fee,nakasulat na doon un,haist!

  12. @hermes
    ang ibig ko sabihin e hindi kinuha ng IPICO chip yung finishing time ko nung RU2 2011 kaya natapon ko dahil sa frustration. At hindi pa ako nagregister pero tinanong ko pa lang yung reg staff sa Toby’s The Block. Di nya nasabi sa’kin na kailangan pala ibigay yung chip last year aww

  13. Race belt bag! May pwede nang paglagyan ng cellfone habang tumatakbo yehey! Sana lang open na Expo by 4 am. Guys ingat lang lagi may nabibiktima ng bukas-kotse gang sa parking ng MOA nung RU1 at kahit last year pa :( I hope they beef up parking security

  14. Runners by heart… some… runners by yabang! LOL!

    It’s called FUN RUN… I guess… Simply as that… An athlete should be well-disciplined.

    Got lot of problems during the run… try other sports!

  15. daming kaaway nyang ryan chuva na yan! ano ba yan hindi marunong rumespeto sa mga opinyon ng bawat runner.

    payo ko lang, magpakabait ka naman sa forum kasi kawawa ka pag nakilala ka in person baka bugbog abutin mo sa running community nyan.

  16. @peej: hehe wala na ako pakialam sa mga yan hehe anyways we are planning to organize ng heavy carbo loading sa last friday before ng RU2 :) KKB or Sharing na lang tayo and kita kits na rin :)

  17. sa tingin ko pakawala ng kabila yan si chuva para manggulo dito! sa kabila kasi naghihingalo na yung mga thread. pati yung chatbox nila patay na. hehehe!

  18. kung mapapansin ninyo yung kabilang forum halos di gumagalaw yung mga thread. puro kasi mga bagitong hilaw ang nanduon eh kaya wala ng saysay. pag nag-post ka ng english walang makaintindi. *sigh*

  19. kung mapapansin ninyo yung kabilang forum halos di gumagalaw yung mga thread. puro kasi mga bagitong hilaw ang nanduon eh kaya wala ng saysay. *sigh*

  20. bkit nga kaya @ boy takbo?It’s not healthy anymore specially for those runners who just started-up for this kind of sport.Dapat we should give or post word of encouragement NOT those non-sense issues/discussions that may affect somebody lalo na newbie. Nawawala n un sportmanship & friendship supposedly among others. Haayysss guyssss.
    As my user name says….takbo-lang-ng-takbo ke may naglalakad o mabagal. Just meet your goal & dont be bother others. Who knows, someday that “others” are far more better than you are now.
    PEACE TO ALL folks:)

  21. @HERMES72000
    Sabi sa Toby’s The Block, okay lang kahit walang IPICO chip galing 2011 papalitan na lang daw kung nawala or bibigyan ng bago kung di naman tumakbo last year. Sabay-sabay daw iclaim sa expo kasama ng race belt bag, bib, etc ~_~

    Medyo worried lang ako sa expo baka magkastampede sa pack claiming lalo na pag last-minute magbukas yung expo bago gunstart ng 21k. Sana wag naman

  22. @jeffpoblete
    naku P25 lang na fries sa McDo pre-race solb na ko hehehe

    @takbo-lang-ng-takbo
    oo nga nakaka-discourage sa mga newbie kung makikita lang nila puro diva dito sa mga patakbo ang gusto solohin ang daanan. At yung mga hipokritong diva na yan, malamang naglakad din ang mga yan sa mga patakbo nung bago pa sila… yun eh kung talagang sumasali nga sila at di lang bitchiness ang inaatupag sa comments dito

  23. @ Cloudshocked bakit di mu “pin point” kung anong “event” ang gusto mong tukuyin para naman mapasyalan. diretsahan ang mga tao dito walang amoy plastic.

    @ jeffpoblete “comment #238” parang gusto ko “idea” na yan,sino-sino kayo nag paplano? game ako! @peej ok din ang fries.

    @ JP no need to worry separate day ang “expo”,distibution of race packs hindi mismo sa day ng run,details to follow. Can u give me the contact numbers of toby’s @ sm the block. Thank you,di sila nag r-reply sa txt dun sa posted numbers sa takbo.ph

    @ john bernardo try also to join the free running clinics,meron silang mga pacers doon. one is manila,if malapit ka sa roxas blvd every thurs sa ARC(a runners circle) 5K/10K, may mga sumasali din doon na pinoy fitness or kay ms jewel sa addination nila ,un check mo kasi dami sila available na araw and places and coach.

  24. @HERMES72000:

    seems like you are of those who cannot comprehend simple language. tinagalog ko na nga eh wala pa rin.

    ang sabi ko sa kabilang “forum” halos di gumagalaw yung mga thread kasi mga bagitong hilaw ang nanduon.

  25. ikaw pala ang bagito at di nakakaintindi ng mga sinasabi mo may comprehend ka pang nalalaman,ikaw itong nga-nga eh di nga ako mka cope sa gusto mong iparating, dinadala mu yung forum dun sa kabila dito sa area na ito eh anung paki namin doon,ikaw itong miron kung saan saan ka nagagawi. tapos mag open ka ng mapag uusapan di mo naman tinutukoy kung anu yung topic na gusto mong malaman namin dito. pang thread # 235 ka na pumasok dito gusto mo hulaan pa namin kung ano yung kabilang “forum” na sinasabi mu,sana kung papansin ka linawin mu naman para matulungan ka at ma back-up ka sa gusto mong mangyari..ai magaling ngang mag ingles nga-nga naman! useless!

  26. two thumbs up!!@takbo-lang-ng-takbo lets encourage the running community to support each other, enjoy the camaraderie and promote a healthy life style:) happy running:) peace!!

  27. I’m looking forward to obtain the second piece of puzzle medal. I’ve started my training and eager to beat my previous personal record.

    Don’t bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.
    –William Faulkner

  28. is the early (priority) registration of the RU1 21K participants for the RU2 2012 not available thru on-line?
    di ako makapag register…

  29. @HERMES72000
    Wag mo pansinin yang si Cloudshocked. Si ryan anthony chuva din yan! Kung hindi pabalang at rude at pilosopo sumagot e puro kayabangan ang chuva nyan (consistent with chuva’s behavior) His footprints are everywhere:

    evidence#1
    sa natgeo earth day run 2012 race results, halos identical lang ang comment #133 at #137

    evidence#2
    sa hyundai run for a cause 2012 what are you running for thread, sa comment #23 he hopes to run for ‘transgender equality’ which is consistent with chuva’s being a proud beki

    evidence #3
    di nyo ba napansin? nang nawala dito si chuva, biglang lumitaw yang si Cloudshocked. Sinisiraan pa si ‘chuva’ nang walang mga katuturang bagay tulad na pakawala daw ng kabilang site (still consistent with chuva’s non-sense)
    hahahahaha! Papansin to the max!!

    evidence#4
    Kung gano alipustahin ni chuva ang mga walkathoners, ganun din alipustahin ni cloudshocked ang mga nasa kabilang site na hindi daw makaintindi ng english at mga ‘bagitong hilaw’ sa comment#224 & 225 (consistent once again in attacking walkathoners). His prejudice and intolerance is uncanny. Isang papansin na beki na galit sa mundo at sa mga taong di naman sya sinasaktan.

    Guys, let us NOT tolerate TROLLS!

  30. nag fill up nako ng registration for 21k @ riovanna bgc. they are still waiting for those 21k runners from leg 1. magregister na kayo sayang naman kung hindi ma complete ung medal puzzle. 1st time 21k runner lang ako all i want is the ru 1 – 3 completion para may loyalty shirt. tama na yang mga trash talk nyo walang magandang dulot yan. let us unite runners!!! peace.

  31. @newbee, as far as i remember during RU1 2012 last march dun sa booth kung nasaan yung mga study shirt for loyalty shirt.. sinabi dun na you have to complete the 4 series including RUPM to have the loyalty shirt. ewan ko lang kung magbabago ng stand ang runrio about that. kahit hindi ka tumakbo sa longer distance basta kumpleto mo ang apat e may loyalty shirt ka.

  32. @ hermes72000

    where is ARC exactly located at roxas blvd.? sorry hinde kasi ako gala sa manila.gusto ko sana itry yun suggestion mo abt the free clinic pero im not sure if kaya ng sched ko. im coming from the south pa kasi. pero for the meantime im checking out running tips sa youtube. hope it can help. thanks anyway sa advise.

  33. @rektikanorunner312 sana nga may clear stand from runrio management…all i want is the loyalty shirt…hindi pa ba loyalty ung na complete mo ung leg series ng UNILAB without running 32k or 42k. will also post this same question in runrio site.

  34. @newbee
    that’s a valid question. If I completed the series but ran only 21k in RU Phil Marathon, will I get the loyalty shirt? Or do I have to run the farthest categories in all the legs?

  35. ang alam ko, like last year, loyalty shirts will be given to those who completed the TRILOGY (regardless of the distance na sinalihan mo)

    i have a question about the runrio awards night (excited?): Do you also have to join RUPM (tapos farthest distance)o farthest distance lang ng TRILOGY? thanks!

  36. last year i completed the trilogy so aside sa loyalty shirt, invited ako sa awards night (take note yung awards night para lang sa nakatapos ng farthest distance 21,21,32k), sa awards night may additional medal ata un tapos shirt. .

    about sa RUPM, IMO, di naman na siguro need mag 42k para maka aatend/mainvite for awards night kasi TRILOGY lang naman. . yung medal sa RUPM kasi parang additional lang un para magkaroon ng holder yung 3 medals from trilogy (so optional na siguro yun)

    again,IMHO :)

    lets just wait for official statement na lang :)

    Cheers. . sa ngayon congrats sa lahat ng nakapagsimula ng trilogy this year :)
    sayang di ko lang nasimulan :)

  37. coach rio,patakbo ka naman,sana yung sarili mo yung design,wala pa kaming collection na galing sayo.bago man lang ako mag-retiro sa pag-takbo.

  38. Inquiry lang po sa claiming ng race kits…di po kaya magkagulo sa “race expo” ang claiming kung hindi pa isasabay sa singlet yung race kits upon registration?

  39. Wala po bang medals sa lahat ng finishers (all categories). Bakit po ung ibang race ay kaya nila ng ganun set-up to please all the runners and finishers. Ask ko lang po..

  40. @ froilan refer to comment # 94

    @ brian open registration to public starting on April 30 up to June 3 ’12,all category. Medals for 21K only.

    @ john bernardo sir pls visit “A Runners Circle” (manila) “facebook funpage” for more info and their complete address

    @ aA pls. go to “Takbo.ph” or “Google search” then type “Join the adidas adiNation of Runners 2012” then searh and you will see the complete details of what ms. jewel told us.

  41. @mel
    Pwedeng pwede! Pero di nyo na po makokompleto yung medal puzzle :(

    @Shaggy
    Yeah, i’m also curious about the expo. If its on a different date from the race itself, that would make 4 trips to and from MOA (for race and expo) a bit of a hassle to some specially to runners coming from outside Manila like CALABARZON and Central Luzon (Bulacan, Bataan, Pampanga, Zambales, Tarlac)

  42. online and regular registration dates should’ve been the same. mangyayari nyan, pag pumunta ka sa regular registration date, ubos na agad ang slots.

  43. Pinagkakitaan na nsman ng PINOY FITNESS ang e-book that posted in this topic. They deleted it intennionally…. Hayyyyy….. Tsk… Tsk.. Tsk…

  44. guys wag na lang pansinin ang mga trolls, once kasi pansinin lalo sila na-e-encourage na manlait ng iba, stick na lang tayo sa mga runners na may respeto sa iba.

    magkaiba man yung ‘SITE’, mga runners pa rin yan, we are one, I do check both sites, by the way.

    ayaw ni ms mars nyan!

  45. from Unilab Activehealth fb page:
    “The Run United Expo will be on June 13-16 at BGC Grounds. More details regarding the Expo will be announced soon. Thanks! :)”

  46. ang dami naman comments at puna sa iba.. hndi na lng kayo tumakbo ng tumakbo at wag ng pakialaman pa yung iba lalo na kung hindi naman maganda ang sasabihin niyo mga sir/ ma’m.. I love you all! mwah mwah tsup tsup!=)

  47. ang layo naman ng RU expo…sa BGC, tapos isang araw laang ang weekend (June 16), di naman kami pwede mag-claim ng “workdays”…

  48. CALLING ON MS MARS! Please check or post it hain the running e-book posted in this topic. Before vomment 154. Suddenly it was intentionally deleted by one of your staff. Please Ms MARS!

  49. @shaggy, na-post ko yata sa blog ko yan. you can find it in a few clicks. hehe

    @dhEx, Sept 16 ang RU3. Based sa List of Events sa kabilang site.

  50. nakakatuwa naman basahin ang thread, parang teleserye, hehe. sayang nawawala na c chuva, di ko na nabasa mga nilagay nya. (or should I say buti na lang pala)

    sana words of encouragement na lang para maka-inspire. let’s be an instrument of inspiration po. it’s nicer to have more people appreciate the beauty of running. @NightRunner, two thumbs up! Sana one day maging katulad mo din po ko.

  51. @RunningWild
    Try mo na lang sa June 16 sat kuya

    Ako din hassle sa expo galing pa ko Bulacan punta pa ko BGC para iclaim ang bib, chip, belt bag, etc. maliban pa sa trip sa MOA sa raceday potek

  52. @JP ok naman may mga expo, medyo hassle lang talaga kapag mapipilitan ka pumunta para kunin ang race kits especially kung meron kang work db? hehehe

  53. Gud day po sa inyo, saan po ba yung RACE EXPO, para ma claim yung race kit, at kung kailan po?

    thanks po.

  54. @mel pingol – i don’t think may downloadable reg form pa. either you fill-out your details when you do online reg, or fill-out your details in the ipad when you do in-store reg. :)

    i’ve blogged about the race event details here:
    https://deemenrunner.blogspot.com/2012/04/this-race-event-does-not-need-any.html

    do standby for more details on the upcoming expo. i’m sure the organizers are still thinking of ways to make it convenient for everyone. :)

  55. Bakit sa expo pa kukunin saka kelan ba magaganap ung expo? Mukhang hassle naman ata to! D na lng ibigay on time pag reregister ka dapat bigay na agad d ung may pupuntahn kapa sayng na nga sa oras para mag pareg, sayang pa sa pamasahe, hay naku ano ba yan! this is terrible hassle, sana same na rin last run united 1 upon reg, lahat na bibigay eh ngayon reg, ka wala din pupunta ka ulit sa expo para kukunin, calling the organizer and unilab !

  56. cguro sa malalayo you can call runrion and request them to send your kits via jrs or lbc na lang para walang hassle lalo na kung taga norte ka pa

  57. Registered already… same with the other runners… Hassle nga at kukunin pa sa expo ang singlet and bib… if you’re working.. too much time spend in claiming this… Not a good idea I guess…

  58. Inuulit ko lang.
    Announcement 1
    Sabi sa Runrio fb page: Run United Expo will be on June 13-16 at BGC Grounds. Claiming of race packets will be there.

    Announcement 2
    Sabi ng registration staff sa SM The Block, 5000 na ang slots sa RU2 21k. 1000 more slots than RU1.

  59. grabe nmn sa expo pa kukunin ung kit.. pano nmn kmi nsa malayo pa from olongapo city, d b magagawan ng paraan yan run rio?

  60. @runner ng bato
    naku ako nga nanghihinayan galing sa Bulacan pero ikaw Olongapo pa pala ang laki ng $$$ ng bus companies sa’yo maliban pa sa trip sa raceday.

    Attention mga runners na tatakbo sa RU2. Mga taga CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, Central Luzon, Ilocos Region, Cagayan Valley, Cordillera, Bicol! Pati na sa mga galing VisMin at overseas na di makakarating sa Manila until June 17!
    Tayong mga taga labas ng Manila, let’s speak up sa runrio fb!

  61. guys na taga labas ng manila area: email or call runrio to send via lbc or jrs na lang your race kit materials, parang hassle yata yun para sa inyo, yung tropa ko kasi taga baguio pa. or email runrio kung pede pakuha na lang sa mga kakilala scan or print n lang ang receipt :) basta sa kakilala nyo ipakuha ok?

  62. tsk tsk tsk…. I knew it will come. This run is too commercialized. Dati pag register mo, on the spot makukuha mo na ang race kit. At ngayon sa expo kuno pa makukuha? I feel sorry doon sa mga nagregister na pero malalayo ang place nila. Runners are being forced to come at said expo to enticed runners & buy their goods which usually available in other running stores (walang pinagkaiba yan for sure). I bet products na hindi mabenta sa stores nila makikita nyo dito. Runrio/ Unilab your strategy is good for business but not for runners. So wannabe’s, TH & runner enthusiasts, do you feel you’re being fooled?

  63. @mayhem

    “So wannabe’s, TH & runner enthusiasts, do you feel you’re being fooled?”

    no. if i’d say yes then i’m fooling myself going to Singapore Marathon (twice!) and claiming my race kit on their event expo

  64. @roel

    “ako nga meron din ako kilala uuwi pa dito galing pang ibang bansa pra lng tumakbo”

    i do wish our running events will become of the many reasons why our pinoy and non-pinoy friends will drop by here

    our local races (runrio, et al) are very competitive in terms of planning and logistics compared to international races
