Nike Run Manila 10K 2013

Congratulations to all the 15,000 finishers of the recently concluded Nike We Run Manila 10K 2013 at Marikina Sports Complex! How was your run!?

Nike Run Manila 10K 2013

Some observations before you guys leave a comment: Traffic and Parking was indeed a challenge, specially to those who came in late (like us), we have to park all the way at Riverbanks Mall and walk about 2.5KM to the race start, we should have really taken the advise of Coach Rio to come really early seriously, upside though is that after we walk back after the race, traffic was a breeze going back to Ortigas.

The new Marikina race route was refreshing, different from what we are so used to, and running along houses and residents of Marikina gave a different feel to the race. We think that being able to execute this route is already a big challenge in itself, a 10K race in the heart of Marikina, kudos to the RunRio team for doing a great job.

  5. fellow runner ask ko lng sana kung meron gusto makipag-swap ng finisher shirt.. i have small size, papalit ko sana for medium..thank you..if anyone is interested please contact me at this number 09467178298..thank you so much..God speed!

  7. overall ok naman pero yn lang ang sikip lang ng daan hirap talaga tumakbo so iba napipilitan na lng mg lakad hehehe, pero nice venue, sana sa susunod morning na lng start konti lang mga photographers

  9. sulit bayad. new route. dami mga resident na nagccheer gganahan ka tumakbo lalo na ung mga batang nagpaparamihan ng apir sa mga runner. ok finisher shirt at bottle tapos may free shuttle ride pa pauwi. ayos!!

  10. Sa mga umapir po sa mga bata.. nakita ko po yung isang bata na dinuduraan yung kamay nya bago umapir sa runners… di ko sinasabing lahat ng bata :)

  11. Masikip sa umpisa dahil makipot yung daan pero pagdating naman sa highway, dire-diretso na somehow (dahil medyo konti na rin ang mga walkers.. hehehh ;) ). Overall, maganda naman yung event; as usual from Nike. Very organized. Congrats Nike! Ang napansin ko lang, parang hindi yata tugma yung number of hydration stations na nasa map? Dun sa actual race, parang kulang yata?

  13. ok yung run, grabe lang talaga dami ng tao kaya nagkukumpol mga tao sa hydration. Sulit na sulit sa ung reg fee sa 2 dri fit na nike tshirt at nike sportsbottle… Yung location nga lang ang mejo hassle, hirap umuwi at maghanap ng taxi, hehe… see u next year!

  15. Di maka pr sa NIKE. Dami walkers…pero sulit sa bayad. 2 shirts, water bottle, gatorade, banana at mineral water. Tapos my mga bata pang sumusuporta.

  18. Please change venue! Ang hirap tumakbo sa sobrang skip. Ok lang siguro kung nasa 1st wave ka, pero pag nasa likod ka nakapwesto, andami kelangan idodge na mga tao. Mahirap mag build momentum. Pero kudos to the kit inclusions. Ganda ng shirts.

  20. nice run, masikip lang talaga yung ruta. mas nakakapagod yung umiwas sa mga nasa harap buti na lang may eskinita pwede daanan. meron din iba nag shorcut na agad freebies lang talaga ang habol. Buti pagdating ko konti pa lang finisher, kinuha ko agad baggage ko kasi sa dami ng tao mahirap pag nagsabay sabay.

  22. Agree with the comment that overall it was a well organized run. Venue was too tight and inappropriate for the huge turn-out of runners. Parking was a bitch. :-)

    • inaway ko pa isang guard sa marikina….. ayaw magpapark sa harap nila e sarado naman establishment nila tapus takbo naman so magsasara ang kalye….. ang dadamot…. hahahha thanks to toyota for letting us park infront nang showroom nila….. maaga kami nandoon so maganda nakuha namin na parking… pero parking was really a problem…. yung friend ko who arrived mga 230 had to look for a place to park for 30 minutes…. hahahahha

      • I anticipated na unless maaga ka talaga mahihirapan ka sa parking. I parked at Metroeast tapos sakay sa free service to the venue. Nag tricycle kami pabalik tinour kami driver sa pasikot-sikot ng marikina. paglabas namin overpass na papuntang Metroeast!

  23. + Sulit sa freebies. Sarap tumakbo ng may kabuddy. New route, dami audience. nakiapir din ako. i like the music towards the latter part of the race. ang sarap ng feeling nung papasok ka na sa track field, super liwanag, parang eksena sa movie. since everyone is required to wear the tee, walang bandit runners. and ang daming hydration!

    -Maliit yung route and may locals na tumatawid, nagkakabanggaan. Parang walang booths or di ko lng nkita. Ang entrance and exit sa baggage area should have been separated. Hindi ka makakaPR kase mabagal ang traffic. Hirap sumakay at mghanap ng kainan kaya naglakad muna kmi papunta malapit sa ilog para kumain ng pancit. Parang ang liit ng FS shirt one size smaller yata sa race tee. (Btw, i have female XS, willing to trade for S or M, kahit panlalake. Hehe 09175668475))

    Overall, nice event, sulit na sulit.

  25. the race was good but mas maganda if BGC or MOA ginawa. masikip ang daan sa umpisa tapos medjo ayoko yung mga taong sumisigaw na “Bilisan nyo para mawala na Traffic”.

    But anyway maganda ang freebies. mganda din ang water station.
    ayusin lang siguro ang venue.

  27. overall it was ok…kung kasama ka sa 1st wave, medyo ok pa ang running path. Pero 2nd or 3rd…i know medyo masikip na. Ok ang freebies, you managed 2 dri-fit shirts for a price of one…sulit na rin. i’ll join again next year.

  28. Sulit na sulit! 750 para sa 2 dri-fit shirt at hydration bottle hehehe. Ang hindi ko lang nagustuhan yung venue ang sikip konting liko lang may mababangga ka at nahirapan nga huminga yung kasama ko parang kulang daw sa hangin gawa nung crowded nung lugar dahil sa dami ng bahay. Buti nalang maaga kami nakatapos hindi nahirapan magclaim ng freebies.

    Overall? two thumbs up!

  31. kahit na malayo ang venue, masikip ang daan, mahirap ang parking, umaambon-ambon…. it was a good run :) and kudos to the runrio organizers, they did their job well :) i aprreciate how well organize ang bag deposit/claim area and pagkuha ng freebies after the run na di ka na kailangan pumila ng pagkahaba-haba at pagkatagal-tagal :)

  32. Sa mga nakipag apir sa mga bata, hopefully nag hugas kayo kamay bago kumain hehehehehe!

    Ako nakipag apir din, sarap ng feeling, pero just to be sure, punas agad sa shorts hehe..

  33. nag enjoy ako sobra sa run kahit masikip ang daan. the people who were watching and cheering the runners was awesome and uplifting. kawawa lang ang mga nastranded na mga sasakyan dahil sa mga saradong kalsada. pasensya na po! bilib ako sa marikina! ang linis! :)

    thank you nike! although i wont be joining kung uulitin sa marikina :) going home was heeeeeeelllll!!!!! mas napagod pako maglakad at maghintay ng sasakyan pauwi.. blehk

    thanks nike! thanks rio! thanks sa crew and photographers!! :)

  34. ang sikip. next time humanap naman ng malaking venue. nagkakapalitan na ng amoy mga runners. WALKATHON dahil sa sikip. di na marathon.

  35. The fun run is very nice thanks to couch Rio but I hope that there will be a line for elite runners and walkers in the road or event so that runners can easily pass others who just walking..

  36. The event was well-organized however, the venue is not an ideal place to run. The streets are narrow and there’s poor ventilation. Anyway, post-run was also good. There were no long queues. Although it would have been helpful if they gave the nike bag (the one that came when we claimed our race kits) after the run so we could place our freebies there. Overall, it was a good job to all of the organizers! I would probably join next year if the event won’t be held in Marikina. Ayoko na umulit dun! :-)

  37. Overall for me ay sobrang saya at enjoy! Uulitin q ulit yun next year kahit super newbie lang aq at walang practice nakatapos aq. Next year I’ll invite more friends kasi konti lang kami. Hehehe. Pero super saya talaga. :)

  40. the race was great i give it 9 but in venue i give it 8 but but but when it comes in hydration sobrang kulang ang gatorade ambilis maubos…kainis lang!hehehe

  42. Great event.. Venue is not good though.. Sobrang kipot kaya wala masyadong hangin.. Sobrang hingal tuloy.. Sana MOA or BGC na lang next year..

  43. One of the best run I had for this year! Kudos to Nike Team and Runrio for a wonderful experience! Good job guys! Two-thumbs up! :) As for the route, medyo masikip nga sa una, for someone living in Marikina like me, I think the organizers did a very good route. Ang ganda lang ng ikot ng route. Very well organized. Apir sa mga kids! :)

    Hydration is good as well. Umaapaw gatorade! :) I think they should’ve put the hydration stations on both sides of the road instead of the long table on one side kasi sarado naman buong daan. Just a thought.

    Overall experience, 10/10! :)

    Post race event is fun too! Kulit ni Drew! LOL :))

    And Quest, saludo! #kilabottothebones performance! :)

  46. -papunta, traffic
    -masikip ung lugar para sa 15k runners
    -hindi accessible ung lugar.. hirap makauwi, hirap din papunta
    – ang tagal namin nakatayo sa starting line para makasama sa 1st wave.. sa sobrang init,dahil hapon na rin, ang dali mauhaw.. tapos ung 1st water station, 3k na..

    good points

    -very organized baggage counters
    -love the new face of sports water bottle
    -finisher shirt is okay
    -bands are awesome plus glow sticks.. sarap makijam sa kanila.. :)

    —please wag na uulet sa marikina.. haha!

  48. The good – it was different, running on the streets with people around. The finish line at the oval was a nice touch too. As always (3rd year for me) the shirts are nice

    The bad – small streets, too many newbies (walkers) in the middle. Runners etiquette was absent. The creek going up Katipunan was smelly reminded me of a run last year along C6

    Overall it was a 6/10 for me. I hope they’ll keep on innovating but also consider larger roads next year. Better yet why not 21k for Manila next year?

    This one’s in the books. CSM na!!!

  51. negative comments
    ang sikip nung daan, kaya ang tendency sumingit ng sumingit ( nakaka pagod un ah kelangan mo iba iba ng way para maka singit)
    dahil sa sikip nung daan ng umpisa, andami pang tao, yung amoy tapos yung feeling na kulang ng oxygen hehe
    andami pang pasway n tao na tatawid, alam n ngang my mga tumatakbo. yung nasa momentum k ng tumakbo pero bglang hinto dhil my tumawid
    yung hydartion booth ang tagal
    walang lalagyanan for the freebies

    positive
    love the drifit freebies
    yung mga nag checheers n bata nkaka tuwa

    • ADD ko lang sa NEGATIVE
      may TUMIRA ng HYDRATION BOTTLE after getting my finisher kit and finding my buddy / freands they told me wala na ung isang bottle ko badtrip may runnner palang malikot ang kamay

      • Nawala lang hydra bottle mo May tumira na agad? Di ba pwedeng nagslip lang sa side mo. Baka nabanga ka or sumabit lang ng di mo napansin.

  52. well..there’s your reason why they scheduled the race at 4pm…overall very organized ung event..sa traffic lang tlga mahirap tlga imanage lalo na u have 15k (correct me if im wrong) participants..so dun sa mga maaga nagpnta like before lunch time so wala mxado hassle..as for those na mga nagcommute mahirap tlga so if pmnta k ng venue around 2pm mallate k tlga…aun nxt time agahan n lang..hehe..meron din nman kseng mga bagay na hindi nman pwedeng idepende lang sa organizer…we also have to do our part as runners dba?:)

    for the route its a different running experience..iba ung atmosphere sa marikina…prang barrio..haha nkakamotivate ung mga resident na nanunood..maganda xa despite all that traffic..satisfied ako..

  56. The “barrio” atmosphere, with the kids cheering from the side walks, made the race more memorable to me. Hindi puro buildings ang nakita ko,kundi bahay,church at tao :) Overall, I was satisfied.

  57. Mas ok sana kung may lane for real runners and for walkers… Nothing against sa mga walker coz, I do walk din nmn from time to time.. pero kapag nakakuha ka na kc ng pace den mahihinto ka due to clogged na ung lanes parang nakakatamad.. hehe! un lang.. Nagenjoy ako and till now suot ko pa finisher shirt ko.. haha!

    • oo nga e… biglang nakakasira ng momentum.

      buti pa sa nike we run singapore merong fast lane sa mga runners at slow lane para sa mga walkers and slow runners

    • my fake runners ba na tumakbo? we should anticipate na marami talagang maglalakad dito kasi NIKE to at maraming nagpareg na ang habol lang eh yung shirt at freebies, kung gusto natin makatakbo ng maayos sana inagaahan natin pagpunta sa starting line at nakipagkiskisan ng balat sa mga elite runners.

  58. Nkakatuwa ung run event n to..ksi 1st tym s mga residential area..marami kng fans..hehe..ok lng ung ruta for me dhil challenging..ksi nasasala na ung runners kpag 3km to finish line..maluwag n masarap n tumakbo..dissapointed lng s finisher tee akala ko gray eh..hehe..Pero ayos n ayos tlga..Ska sorry s mga n traffic or mga commuters. God bless Nike..c u next yr=)

  60. I just want to add my comment para ma-reinforce yung mga nasabi na sa taas so Nike can review: Masikip talaga yung route. Maraming turns na bottleneck and mga streets na 2 cars lang ang width. It was hard to run. Sana rin we can teach the newbie runners to step to the side if they want to walk. Shirt and bottle are okay.

  61. Pros:
    1. @ 1700P ttl 4 shirts + 2 hydration bottles
    2. very organize race
    3. route totally closed for vehicles
    4. hydration sufficient
    5. Cheerers/residents d best
    6. finishing the race-entering the oval (parang closing ng Olympic)
    7. after party (bands) superb!
    Cons:
    1. race route to narrow
    2. venue – mahirap na puntahan, mas-mahirap pa lalo nung pauwi (sa mga commuters)
    3. parking – hell!

    *** Overall ratings 8/10

    Will join again next year…wag lang ulit sa Marikina :(

  63. Ok lahat!
    Since alam naming 15,000 ang tatakbo,
    Dumating kami nag 1pm, as per Runrio advice.
    Walang problema sa parking.
    Sa Wave 1 na kami pumwesto kasi alam naming magiging masikip sa likod (based on other nike race)
    wala kaming naging problema sa race route. (maluwag kasi konti lang walkers sa wave 1. halos pareho lang mga pace namin.)
    Bawi na lang kayo next time, lalo na pag BIG events. adjust na lang kayo para maging maganda ang experience nyo. Keep running.

  66. overall… congrats sa nike we run manila 2013 (marikina city)… kudos sa organizer runrio…. grabe so awesome ang run daming runners nakakatuwang tingnan parang mga pulang langgam kung titingnan, yung mga residents at mga batang nag cheer up nakakatuwa pang tanggal ng pagod… may mga ruta lng na masikip at nagsisiksikan ung mga runners at may mga runners na bigla na lng maglalakad kaya ung nasa likod na mabilis tumakbo at nagPPR eh bumabagal at nawawala na yung momentum, kaya ayun hassle eh my courtesy call naman bat di man nila lam un…… anyway ganda ng mga freebies sulit talaga…… congrats uli…. join uli kami next year 2014, ng mga office mate ko… Astig…!!!

  67. Sobrang sulit to think na you get 2 dri-fit shirts, water bottle, gatorade, water, and banana for P750. Hassle lang talaga yung sikip ng daan. I was surprised with the number of runners (15K?). Took me 15 minutes just to cross the starting line from the middle of wave2 runners. Medyo obstacle course lang talaga yung dating na you have to run sideways just to overtake some runners and walkers (no offense though). Buti na lang may sidewalks na pwede mo din takbuhan. Though I didn’t beat my PR and finished above 1hr, it was a good race (not perfect). Medyo hindi lang ata strategic yung locations ng hydration. Ang layo ng pagitan. Hindi ko na inantay yung concert (meron ba?). I assumed na mahihirapang lumabas ng Marikina kung sabay-sabay yung 15K na uuwi kaya alis agad pagkakuha ng finishers kit. By 630pm nasa Cubao na ako hehe.

    Hopefully next year Nike will bring it back to MOA or BGC. And sana wag na buddy run. :)

  68. Those kids who’s hi-5ing us runners were the best man! Overall the run was great, the freebies is good, the finish line is superb! parang Olympics ang feeling. Haha my 1st 10k. :D

  70. sulit ang binigay na pero yong daan sobrang sikip at parking pasakit sana di na maulit sa marikina nakauwi ka 10pm na sa sobrang traffic ….

  71. shout out nga pala sa staff ng runrio na ibinalik ung cp ng frend ko……ipagtuloy at laging gumawa ng tama kahit walang nakakakita…..

  73. Enjoyable naman yung run kahit mahirap papunta at pauwi. May mga nag cheer pa, plus talaga. Pero hindi nasunod yung stick to the left if you’re planning to go at a slower pace or planning to walk. Kahit ready kanang tumakbo, mapipilitan ka talagang mag lakad dahil di ka maka singit.

    Walang proper etiquette sa hydration station, ang laki na nga nung tapunan ng trash, itatapon parin sa tabi mo ang cup, may lamang gatorade pa, nababasa pa sapatos mo. Yung isa, katabi nya na mismo ang trashbin, mas pinili nya parin itapon sa road.

    Mas gusto ko yung design ng shirt na pinapakita nila sa race kit claiming, yung gray with white print, akala namin yun na ang finisher’s shirt. Pero anyway, nag enjoy parin kami sa run, sulit pa ang freebies, quality products talaga. Will join again next year.

  74. masaya yun run, ok yun pag organise… pero masikip yun road sa dami ng runners,.. sana po maintain yun way na mas malawak para hindi maipon sa makipot na road… salamat nike,.. we ran, we conquer…=)

  75. Medyo kawawa lang yung mga tao na hindi kasama sa race na naaabala. Nung tumakbo ako, may sumigaw sakin na ayusin daw yung pag-organize ng race… na may point naman talaga sila.

    Although okay naman yung race itself, medyo masikip lang. At dapat mas maayos yung pagplano nila ng alternative routes para sa mga hindi kasama sa race.

  78. Marami ang disappointed sa mga nag practice para mag PR. Sana inagahan nyo dahil alam nyo namang 15k ang runners. Nag abiso naman ng runrio na agahan ang punta kaya fault nyo na yung asa 2nd or 3rd wave kayo. Pero ako di na uulit kung sa marikina ulit masikip yung venue para sa ganung karami runners. Kagandahan lang nito eh napakita natin sa marikina na ganun karami na ang mga runners as aspiring runners. For sure sa mga susunod na event bka double na ang runners sa isang magandang event.

  79. dramatic ang finish line.. nakakawala ng pagod at mapapatakbo ka talaga dahil para kang nasa spotline..

    hassle yung freebies na walang lalagyan. Sana nung racekit claiming na lang walang lalagyan tas sa race na lang binigay yung nike bag.

    best part.. We Ran Marikina! We Ate Tapsi ni Vivian! Haha :P

  82. in my opinion, maganda yung run…pero nanibago ako sa set up… parang di run rio yung nagset up lalo na sa mga hydration stations… kase nagkukulang ng gatorade xka water tapos hindi pa ready yung mga crew… i dont know kung eksena sa harapan… kase first time ko lang mapunta sa wave na hulihan sinasabayan ko lang kase yung kabuddy ko na first time lang magrun and ganun yung eksena unlike sa mga runs ko sa ibang runrio.. and tingin ko factor din yta yung mga crew na nakuha nila sa marikina siguro yung mga tanod, siguro di lang sila prepared or di sanay sa ganung events…kase sa MOA mas organize yung mga naa hydration stations… pero yung mismong event ay okay naman :) expected na super daming tao kea yung gamet namen e binalikan nalang namen sa fitness first dun nadin kame naligo :))

  83. Congrats to the organizers, it was a great experience. Although there were routes that are very narrow, it was still fun because of the residents specially the kids who were watching and cheering. To those who were complaining about the traffic, it’s your fault, the organizers did send a text message informing us that it would be advisable to arrive before 1pm, be early next time and stop ranting non sense. Great job, see you next year!

  84. Normal lang may flaws but the run event was good overall. Bago ung route, residential ang daan at nakakatuwa ang crowd. big plus for me ung finish line eh sa track, sarap ng feeling, feeling pro athlete lang hehe

  85. Kudos to Run Rio for organizing the event! I was actually doubtful of how they will organize 15k runners, especially baggage deposit. But everything went well in that area. Running to the finish line was exhilirating because of how it was set up, it was pretty exciting! It was like how football or baseball players run out into the field with the crowds cheering and all the lights flashing! Enough hydration to get me water-logged and the changing room was spacious.

  87. overall, ok p dn nmn ung event…the main concern is the venue. sobrang hirap puntahan, sobrang trapik bago makarating dun. sobrang layo at d magandang tumakbo s residential area s totoo lng.. the freebies was nice, sulit tlga ung bayad kung un ang pg uusapan, pro s pagiging organized compared to last year, I think it was not that good. Of course this is only my opinion..but I think the people who attended last years event would think so too.. I heard some people saying nga na “ano b naman tong mga hydration, puro s dulo ng sa dulo daw ang gatorade, wla nmn. mgkano kya ang kinita n nmn ni rio dito?” I can’t blame them for thinking that way and saying that.. so that’s it..enjoy p din nmn ako dahil ang sarap p din tumakbo and get a good sweat going. Cguro I was just expecting a lot because last year’s we run manila was one of the best running events I’ve ever attended… Hopefully next year will be better.. Godbless everyone.

  88. nga pla…the end part of the race was nice..its nice running in an oval with a red carpet welcoming you.. on that one, I salute the organizers! makes you feel like an Olympian.. :D

  94. I think milo marathon pa rin pinakamaganda salihan ng mga seryosong runner…Coz they are building champions…ahehehe…
