Challenge Run 2013 – April 14, 2013

Hmmm JME??

Sana mapaganda pa ‘yung medal.

better check the organizer…

hmmm challenging naman challenge run eh. JME?? hmmmm

wat challenges awaits us?

sana me nakalagay na category dun sa medal, or dun sa lace ok na din

Sali ako dito :D sana may race map na.

Finding info about the organizer will be a challenge.

Tama! Bka e2 rin un organizer nung last jan.

mga sir anung meron sa organizer dito? paki sabi naman interested pa naman akong sumali kasi hirap akong mag hanap ng 16K distance, para maka ready for may first half marathon, medyo mahal pa nga ung rfee…

O, baka manghusga na naman kayo dito, ” Pure Concept ito , Team Phoenix ito” . Hihilig nyo manghusga.
” Let the one who is not a sinner, cast the first stone…”

tama si runbot…our right to know the organizer…i also had a bad experinced before sa c5 marathon!…bakit wala pics yung finisher shirt?….

Ako din po hindi manghuhusga at di nagdududa. Kutob lang po at kinakabahan ako… ;)

Yun nga lang lahat po ng kutob ko mula nung Springboard hanggang Enviro Run ay naging tama lahat… ;p

MAG-INGAT NA LANG PO!

Pasensiya na kung masakit. Opinion ko lang naman po. =)

Nakapag explain na ng side yung organizers na JME sa Takbo.ph. So lahat ng concerns natin kung related sila sa dalawang organizers na sinasabi nyo eh nasagot na nila…

Porket pareho ng design ng singlet, pareho na ng Organizer, agad agad.. di ba pwede bigyan ng chance ang Organizer.. for info lang po ganito rin kaya yung design sa Run for Hope 2013 at yung sa Run for ten last Januay ganito rin design
Hehehe pag ganito pala ang design.. pag iisipan ko mabuti kung sasali ako hahaha

#15, I too want to give them the benefit of the doubt, but that horrible statement in takbo.ph only made things worse for them. Pwede ba yun accidental lahat ng “coincidences”: same uncommon route, same singlet, same people, etc. etc. I just hate people who take advantage of others. They better not be Pure Concept nor Phoenix, and they better not f* up this event.

To those curious, check their statement: https://www.takbo.ph/2013/02/who-is-jme-cainta-runners/. Also take time to read the comments for Springboard and Enviro. Anyway, like I said, I am running this just because. Good luck na lang Pure Mr. E, este Pure Concept, este JME.

mahirap yung sali ng sali tapos puro angal sa huli!!!!esep esep

mga katakbuhan, nabasa ko din ung explanation ng JME sa takbo.ph at ito lng nman ang naobserve ko.

Takbo: Who is JME Cainta Runners?
JME: “….. let me start my message sino po ba kami. JME Runners are compose of runners, dancers and gym goer people actually konti pa lang din po kami and we are organizing events to encourage more people to became aware of their health.”

comment 1: diba mas maganda kung sinabe nila kung sino mismo sila.. name names kung baga. bkit team composition ung sagot nila. lets just say that its OK compose of runners, dancers and gym goers pero sino sino kau? sino ung nag lelead sa inyo? president nyo? since halos lahat naman sa atin ay netizens at marunong or may access sa FB eh bkit di n lng nila ibigay un FB page or fb nila pra nman diba meron tau nkikita o alam ntin kung sino ba talaga sila.

JME: “Mag start sana kami sa C5 extension paranaque kasi sa tingin namin safe dun kasi walang crossing at marami na rin nagpatakbo dun but yun din pala yung venue nung sa pure concept kaya kami na accused na kami raw yun marami na nagevent dun e……..”

comment 2. may nabasa ako dun sa thread n may nagtanung ng kung sino ang nagapply ng permit sa venue.. bkit di nila ito nasabe kung sino?

comment 3: sa pananaw ko po madaling magsabe ng “hey ndi kmi yan” dahil sa totoo lang eh ganyan din ang sinabe ng Team Phoenix nung na accuse n sila din s Pure Concept. pero ano? sa bandang hili eh sila sila din pla un. kawawa naman kming mga runners. Kung talagang ndi kayo associated sa 2 palpak na organizers eh dapat wla kau takot n magbigay ng names. ipakilala nyo kung sino ba talaga kayo. FB page with pics will do.

HINDI KO PO SINASABE NA ASSOCIATED KAYO DUN SA PALPAK NA ORGANIZER. Nag dududa lang po. kaya para mawala po un pagduda nmin bilang concerned runners eh mas magpakilala sana kayo ng tama. Ayun lang po. MAHIRAP PO MABIKTIMANG muli ng palpak na organizer. sana po ay maintindihan nyo ang sentimyento nmin bilang runners.

Sa mga KAPAWA ko RUNNER n sasali sa mga takbuhan. mag isip muna mabuti. lalo n sa mga ngaun pa lang naadik sa takbo. maging prepared po tau. wag lang umasa sa Organizer.. magdala tayo ng sariling tubig. wag na lang din po tayo mag expect n quality finisher items ang mkuha ntin. dahil bka sumama lng loob ntin after ng run. Lets Run for our Health and for the Cause.. haba na ng comment ko..

X’s:
Takbo: “JME Runners informed me that Mr. E is the one supplying them with some items needed for the running event. In short, Mr. E is not part of the operations of the event and JME Cainta Runners have their own team to handle the race to make it successful.”

JME: “So we appeal to the running community that they give us a chance naman. We are not connected to Pure Concept and Team Phoenix. As for Mr. E wala naman sya ginawa sa amin na masama to say bad things against him, but we can not accept that he is a part of our team.”

comment: Kung so Mr E pla ung supplier ng ilan sa mga items eh nku po, mag isip isip tayo Katakbuhan kc bka as in baka low quality items yan. Singlet na matigas at panget na finisher shirt. sabe pa nga ni bearwyn sa enviro run na ininform daw sya ng organizer na wag sila sisihin sa Finisher shirt kase kasalanan daw nang mananahi un. kc hindi nila natapos on time..bakit naman ung mananahi ang sisihin namin eh kaya nga may organizer diba. sila dapat ung nagsasaayos ng mga detalye ng patakbo nila.. as in lahat.

Hi guys maps here:

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Challenge-RUN/414820141926127

after ng OFW run, next ito…. challenge.. ayus toh ah’.. Race MAP po please..

@ rose – ok po copy

@ jessa – ok po noted

JME since you’re here, let me make it easy for you to help us trust you. Please answer the following:

1. Who are the top three officers of your organization (also include FB page or some relevant web profile)
2. What are the contact details of your organization (address and landline number)
3. DTI business number and City Business Permit Number.

Thank you.

will definitely run here…. just because it’s near to my place (C5 ext. is my training ground). twice or thrice a week ako dito. suporta na rin para ma expose yun C5 ext sa mga takbuhan..

to those who will join, just to be safe, bring your own hydration bottle lalo na sa 16k (baka sa “tabo” na naman tayo uminom). although wala naman masyado motorists sa C5 ext pag sunday… DO NOT… i repeat, DO NOT RELY too much sa marshalls na mga traffic enforcers lang ng parañaque or las piñas… mga hindi marunong yan.

nag join ako sa Springboard Run last year (Pure Concept “dis”-organized run)… i remember the cons: naawa ako sa mga runners na wala hydration stuff kasi kulang yun water stations (good thing may dala akong fuel belt) at walang cups… kapos yun 16k (di baleng sobra wag lang kapos)… yun marshalls walang pakelam… may tumatakbo pa binuksan sa motorists yun C5. medal is so-so… finisher shirt pinamigay ko lang.

Bigyan nalang lahat ng finishers medal. Pati 5k categories. Lahat ng runners. Lam nyo na mga dapat gawin organizer. Para naman maprove nyo na iba kau sa naiisipnla. Its ur chance. I will join here kung lahat categories may finishers medal and shirts. Thanks

ehehe… zero nga

@emersonic – ‘di po ba mabaho sa c5 extension lately? may naghahagis ng supot supot na “dumi”.

@RED @SoloRunnerStrikesAgain Matagal ko na hiningi dun sa kabila ang full names ng contacts ng JME Cainta Runners dahil puro numbers lang ang nakalagay. Pero hanggang ngayon kahit first name wala akong nakukuha. Binanggit ko pa nga full name ko in the spirit of fairness and transparency pero wala rin. I really don’t know why hesitant sila magbigay ng pangalan. Kaya hindi ko masisisi ang iba na magduda.

#30
Very suspicious ang behaviour nila towards this. They dodge and offer vague data and do everything except be direct and forthright. I think we need admin intervention on this. It cuts both ways. It will either save this event if they are indeed innocent (kasi kawawa naman sila if all our doubts are proven false) or save us from the shady people who take advantage of us.

JME, ano ba? Reply naman dyan.

OMG! bakit same insights tayo pagkakita pa lang sa poster =))
actually font pa lang ‘team phoenix’ na naalala ko :p
sorry

as of now eh tlaga yatang ignore lng tayo ng organizer na to.. sa mga interested na sumali dito eh mag isip muna kayo dhil until now eh di nyo kilala kung sino ang dapat nyong pasalamatan kung OK ung patakbo at kung sino din ang dapat nyong habulin pag pumalpak ito. may nabasa pa ko dun sa kabila sa takbo na parang may nag ka sagutan pa. kase ba naman parang todo naman kung ipagtanggol nung isa ung organizer na ito. eh kahit sya nga mismo hindi din kilala tong organizer na to.. tinamaan ng magaling…
@SBS – tama ka.. pero mukang wala talaga tayo mapapala sa organizer na to.. bhala n lang sila humusga kung gusto talaga nila tumakbo dito.. let’s wait na lang sa result.

sana meron sample singlet at finisher shirt sa mga registration venues. kasi doon sa enviro run iba yung nasa picture sa totoong singlet

san mapupunta ang majority ng proceeds nito? ang sarap kasing tumakbo na may mapupuntahan ang ibinayad mo or may natutulungan kang ibang tao, kindly post na lang jme.

Ako’y magmamasid muna :-)

Also JME, sinu-sino and mga “scholars” na beneficiary nitong run?

may shutlle bus b papunta s venue

The venue is easy to find, malapit or halos tapat pala ng Air Force One.

For those without cars, one may take the jeeps that ply the Baclaran-Sucat route.

Mas okay nga kung may medal lahat. Pandagdag hatak. Mas gusto kasi ng runners yung medal kesa visors. Pero sana both na lang, hahaha

ayos sa landmark air force one. :) hehehe

Pumunta ako kanina sa skchers festival wala pa daw na email sa knila. Ano ba yan sayang oras ko balak ko ko sana mag avail ng early bird promo nila. Mukang tama nga ung sinasabe sa kabila. Sayang ang ganda pa nman sana nito.

sana nakalagay sa medal kung anung distance ang tinakbo. hope maayos at mapaganda pa ang medal saka dapat makita na ang design ng F-shirt. salamat at gudluck!

@Kawaiii wala pa? Nako mahirap na.. Tingin tingin muna ako dito.

@ kawaiii – on going registration on skechers trinoma, market market, festival mall, glorieta and robinsonsplace manila.

@pinoy_runner – option for medal design- https://www.facebook.com/pages/Challenge-RUN/414820141926127

@ red – for cash donation you can direct it to amcham foundation they are the one selecting the potential scholars.

@Draco04 – as of now wala pa po shuttle e

@jme – 1 nlang po. ung rectangular. un din ung gus2 ng karamihan. tnks

kelan po ba namin makukuha yung sunvisor at yung early bird na bib? sana po nakalagay sa medal yung category.

patulong po, saan po ba etong lugar ng run, kung sasakay ako ng LRT galing ako ng monumento.

salamat po.

@nelson… LRT around 4a.m. open na ba???

much easier kung mag jeep ka na lang from Monumento to Lawton… near Post Office may terminal ng FX going to Sucat… sakay ka ng biyaheng Sucat… sabihin mo sa driver ibaba ka sa Olivares Mall (landmark Air Force One) then tawid ka na lang papasok sa event venue… or baba ka sa SM Sucat then warm up run ka papunta sa event (more or less 2k run :) )… FX fare P35

#44 jme
O, akala ko “run for scholars” ito. Why are you talking about cash donations now?
And where is your company profile and other supporting documents.
With all due respect and with the benefit of the doubt, but this is a really shady way of conducting an event. Anyway, I and some friends will run this. Please, for your sake, don’t be Phoenix or Pure Concept and don’t mess up the event. We will be watching your every move. See you there.

#49 RED
sir, basa-basa din po tyo… “run for scholars” (as indicated) nga raw po ito.. and yung na-mention nila na “for cash donations”, they we’re just answering yung tanong mo (#36)… kaya nga ang sagot nila e, “@ red – for cash donation you can direct it to amcham foundation they are the one selecting the potential scholars.”… hindi po sila humihingi ng cash donations!!!! you can check po sa web regarding amcham foundation kung legit sila (FYI, amcham foundation just held their own fun run last march 3 sa BGC, run for scholars din)… yun lang po (may pa-“shady way of conducting an event” ka pa dyan)… GUYS, BEFORE MAG-COMMENT, BASA-BASA DIN AT INTINDIHIN YUNG BINABASA!!!! takbo lang ng takbo! :)

.,registered kanina sa trinoma and i like the singlet simple pero maganda.,never mind sa mga previous comments as long as smooth ung magiging event.,im running coz im a runner plus points na lang ung freebies and good cause ng run.,hope i can enjoy running 16k in this run.,

#50
Ang tanong ko kung sino. It would have sufficed if he answered “Amcham”. Ang assumption ng “Run fo X” is that part of the reg fee will go to X. But since he answered it that way, ngayon duda na rin ako sa kung benefit rub nga ito. Mag-isip ka kahit konti. Wag takbo lang ng takbo, kasi maraming manloloko. O jme ka din? Anyway, the shadier you are, and the more you fail, the better.

@running nimrod – please review below comments and have it analyze bago ka sana magcomment ng ganyan kay Red.

RED: “Also JME, sinu-sino and mga “scholars” na beneficiary nitong run?”

JME: “red – for cash donation you can direct it to amcham foundation they are the one selecting the potential scholars.”

RED: “O, akala ko “run for scholars” ito. Why are you talking about cash donations now?….”

Yan ung mga comments diba? paki analyze mo running nimnod. ang tanong nya on comment no. 36 ay kung sinu2 un beneficiary – at wla xa binanggit n cash jan pero ano ba ang isinagot ng JME? bkit may cash cla binanggit eh wla nman sa atnong ni RED yun? Kuha mo ba? wag lang basta takbo ng takbo.. minsan matuo tau mag analyze ng mga commento bago manuligsa. payo lang to kapatid…at isa pa may hinihingi yan si RED sa JME n until now eh ndi maiprovide at alam nyo nman cguro o kung nagbabasa ka na concern xa sa atin as runners. kc nga ayaw nya n sumablay itong run na to. be thank ful n lang at may nagmamalasakit sa atin as runners kya be careful n lng din sa comment mo. :) basa basa tayo dito ha.

ano oras po gun start ?

i registered yesterday, nasa participants copy yung details ng gun start

16k – 5:15 am
10k – 5: 30 am
5k – 5:45 am

yung visor sa raceday daw makukuha sa turning point.

Ngek… Bakit sa turning point pa? So yun siguro yung indication ng sa U turn slot imbis na bands. Di ako makapag register kasi questionable pa yung iba. Pag sure na lang ako…

angas!!!! bumawi s mga nega!!!!! makasali n nga!?

:)

runners, sino nakatakbo na sa C5 Extension? flat road ba ito, walang hills?

Waiting 4 dis event. Its a flat road and nice to run at :-)

Till when is the final registration and do u have online?

Do u have online registration?

this is a good run and it seems na maganda ang organizers!
jme, ano ba ang activities after the event?
i’ll register this weekend

I’ll be coming from C-5 road. Kung magtataxi kami saan po ang daan namin. Hindi kasi ako familiar sa C-5 extension na to.

Thanks in advance…

Ano po ba yung “challenge” with this run? Just out of curiosity. :)

@IamRunner kung galing k ng C5 dyan n lang kayo dumaan s edsa papuntang naia road pag lagpas ng NAIA makikita nyo n yung airforce one malapit s Duty Free doon ang venue, kung mag SLEX kyo bka mapamahal pa kayo, C5 extension pagnakita mo yung flyover s tapat ng sm sucat yun ang c5 extension.

Reiterate ko lang about the FINISHER MEDAL design… Sana naman may nakalagay kung ilang kilometers ung tinakbo. I hope you make modifications to the Medal Design. And make sure na hindi xa plastic.

And another thing, nasan po ung design ng FINISHER T-SHIRT?

the challenge i think is to wait for jme’s reply…hehehe

Hi! anu po pwedeng sakyan papunta c5 extension, galeng po ako ng san pedro, laguna? and open pb 16k?

Sakay po kayo ng jeep na pa sucat tapos pag nasa sucat na kayo sakay kayo ng jeep na pa baclaran. Pag nakita nyo po ung overpass sa may sm sucat ayon na ung c5 extension pero ung starting line ay lagpas pa ng sm bale nasa harap ng air force one bago mag duty free

May we know the difference between 10K and 16K medal? me naka engraved ba na 16K finishers?

registered kanina sa trinoma skerchers mga 6:30 pm, size ko LARGE,

bakit ganun, maganda pa yung design nyo kesa sa actual singlet,

sana sa finisher shirt maganda rin yung actual, run for 16k

Observe muna ako dito, just in case na maganda ang outcome, sabi naman nila may susunod pa daw na leg kaya dun na lang ako sasali.
Nakakatakot kasi ung mga event na ganito, may 16K category (OFW RUN and others). Peace, i don’t mean anything.

willing to swap singlet size L (mine) to XL (yours) …

PM at [email protected] for meetup

prep run for RU2.

hi organizer! kailan po last day ng on site registration?s tapat mismo b ng air force one ang venue ng fun run?thanks for your early reply.

Registered kanina sa Skechers Trinoma….i dont mind the comment…all we want to do is RUN….

…Nag registered na rin kami….wala ng ibang matakbuhan this Sunday…Fat Run naman is all about Obstacle Course at yong Rip the Road Leg 3 naman ay last na ata of their 5 event run. Kung totoo man yong mga Nega Comment siguro natuto na yong Organizer na to kung sila man ito. Just Like BDO,na huli na rin kami nag decide because of the comments pero it turned out OK naman. Sa mga tatakbo dito….See you sunday..

@limitedrunner

ang galing mong mag comments ng mga negative sa ofw run tapos dito naman iba
ang mga comments mo cguro organizer kana rin ba ng pureconcept,team phoenix
o jme kainta runners nga pala ngayon ikaw talaga nagpapanggap ka pa aminin,,
nabasa ko kasi mga comment sa ofw run eh di ka naman pala nag join dun pano
mo nasabing palpak ang run na yon eh nandun ako nun maraming runners ang nakita kong nakangiti at masasaya napanood ko yung news coverage at nakita ko yung mga picture sa fb wala akong makitang di naging masaya dun sa event try
mo e view, amininnnn ingit lang yan

Today is judgement day. Maganda kaya kinalabasan ng run or otherwise? Ngayon natin malalaman competence ng organizer pure concept, team phoenix o jme man sya.

Lesson learned from this run. Makinig sa comments tungkol sa organizer. Ang daming palpak dito. Mga pinaka malalaking kapalpakan dito ay

1. walang portalet
2. walang medic
3. walang marshalls na nagda-direct ng traffic ng mga sasakyan. kasabay namin ang mga motorista sa daan
4. at ang pinaka… sobrang walang isang salita ang organizer dito.

JME Cainta runner.. wag tangkilikin ang patakbo nito.

Contrary to point no. 2 of runningbutete, meron naman medic kaya lang naka-standby lang sa finish line :) For the rest, I agree. To add up, they lack road barriers. Race marshals were not in proper identification (Not even IDs), naka pang party attire sila. Yon downhill sa SM Sucat, very dangerous, walang marshall dun sa merging traffic. You have to look back before crossing. And finally, a runner’s crowning glory, yon finisher’s shirt sana may print nung run category (That’s something a runner will be proud wearing) Just my two cents, organizers… Your areas of improvement. Thanks.

tama po si runningbutete – tumatakbo ako kasalubong ko truck ako ang binusinahan, grabe po.

ang mahal ng 16k, hindi sulit, – importante ang safety ng runners.

hmm ok naman kanina ah yn lang walang portalet at konti lang marshall nag guide sayo my mga sasakyan dumadaan pero halos mga bikers marami pero pwede ka naman gumilid, Ok yng finisher shirt and sun visor at medal, marami din hyration station, napansin ko lang marami din ng jogging dun sa area na yn, Overall good naman sya, fun run kasi eto so kung sakin lang gusto ko lang talaga tumakbo to stay fit sa halagang 850 sulit na sakin. :D yan ay opinion ko lang.

im a noob at this but it was clear na maraming areas for improvement..my wife doesnt even run but when she saw the event..she thought it was “un
organized”

actually ang pinaka naging concern ko dito is yung walang maxadong tumakbo…. ang tahi-tahimik maxado na akala mo eh walang FUN RUN sa lugar…. if i look at my back, no one is following me and if i look at my front, i am not following anyone either… SO SAD RUN! Haha :D

ok po ung event kaso napansin ko sami di nkaregister na pbali balik kumukuha ng freebies grabee ang lulupit to think n puro babae pa cla huh!

This run went exactly as I expected – a total mess!

Before I, some friends and some runners during the event pursue any serious actions, I would like JME to address some specific questions that might help defer or suspend our action:

1. Are you the same groups as Pure Concept and Phoenix?
2. Who is your group’s president or leader or representative and how may we reach him?
3. Why were there no portalets, marshals, and medics along the race route? These are basic requirements, and something that you promised in your promo for the event. For your fee (PHP 850.00 for 16k), these things are automatic. Not to mention the safety issues that runners encountered during the run.

The amount of disaster unfolding left and right during the run was of comical epic proportion that I would have laughed had I not known any better. A patently dishonest, deceptive, irresponsible, and disreputable group like you should be stopped and held accountable.

PS. How can anyone in their right minds claim that this run is “overall good” and “sulit”?!! If you are part of the organizers, please be decent enough to allow an authentic discussion in the forum. For shame!
