  1. Yup, nakakamiss ung sa Nathan tuloy. Ano kaya mas mahirap? Baguio o sa Tagaytay Highlands? Anyone here na nakapunta na sa Burnham Lake Drive at Tagaytay Highlands?

  2. sana as early as January makapaglabas na ng details para ma plan ahead.. dahil easter sunday ito tiyak maraming bakasyonista nito…

    would love to run at Baguio…..

  3. I recommend that you guys join this event, i ran in the 21k category and it was so challenging and exciting. Its the vertical running that will tire your legs out, flat roads are gonna serve as your rest moments. You’ll be doing patintero along the curvy steep roads and but no one encountered an accident naman. I remember having to stop and peek at the sharp curvy portions of the hi-way for incoming vehicles tapos i had face to face a wall and stand still dahil sa mga fast vehicles. If you really want a different challenge i recommend that you sign up for this one.

  4. @dbron: mas extreme pa rin ung uphills ng nathan. pero challenging din ung s burnham. (although di ko pa natry tumakbo dun) and mas lalo magiging challenging ung run because of the weather. di gaano malamig ung weather nung nathan s tagaytay eh but i’m pretty sure the weather in baguio will give you a different kind of running experience. :)

  5. based on actual experience this race is highly recommended! i was supposed to join again but reconsidered. race date is easter sunday! yikes! heavy human/vehicular traffic!

  6. wow…tempting pero easter sunday..parang mahirap ang accomodation at sana makakuha uli promo sa cebupac for next year…Davao pa kasi kami…

  7. this is an exciting event. however, the organizer must reconsider if it can reset the date possibly, a week later. april 8 is easter sunday, and baguio would be teeming with tourists and vacationers. full of traffic and lodgings are congested. not to mention, more expensive. runners coming from other parts of the country would find it more difficult to cope.

  8. Sana makauwi ako para maka join ako sa running event na eto.I will do some series of fall run here and i hope to do this one when i get home.

  9. Sana talaga ibang date…para maisali ko ito sa aking planned na ‘Hill Trilogy’ for 2012..

    Makiling Challenge
    Nathan Ridge Run
    Corregidor Intl HM

    Kaso pag sinama ko to e di na Trilogy..Trilogy +1 na. hmmmm. Ano na tawag dun? Tetralogy? hmm, iba na yata yun.

  10. Note to Post #13.

    …You’ll be doing patintero along the curvy steep roads and but no one encountered an accident naman. I remember having to stop and peek at the sharp curvy portions of the hi-way for incoming vehicles tapos i had face to face a wall and stand still dahil sa mga fast vehicles….

    Hmmm…this happened in-race? You had to patintero then peek..The words..stop.peak.sharp.highway.fast…in one sentence & it describes a race is NOT necessarily encouraging & gives praise to the race organization!? Tama ba po?

  11. @Lance A.: First of all, i would like to know if you are being as sarcastic & rude as i thought you look like huh!!! Do you think that with your sarcasm magaling ka na to even question my post which i shared with such humour since it was so challenging and fun for me, but you perceived it differently. Are you even related to the organizer of this event at umaarte ka at nagmamagaling ka???? FOR YOUR INFORMATION, you don’t have the singlest idea of what this event is all about and to add i know Mr. Pacle personally and he knew every and all experiences that all runners went through in last years event ok!!!!

    Kaya, before you make a smarty pants display of your brains at magpapansin dito sa PF, make an effort to understand the underlying tone of the comment or better, wag kang nakikialam sa mga comments that have nothing directly to do with you!!!!

  12. ^

    My question is valid: In-race ba yan nangyari? Im after safety issues here in joining a race. Im not trying to be smart nor sarcastic. I dont have to. My question remains valid and objective.

  13. i joined in this event last year and I love it! slight problem lang is yung mga sasakyan kasi alam naman po natin siguro na narrow ung mga road sa baguio…other than that maayos yung overall event. May unlimited pandesal pa after the race! =) if i recall it right, last year yung registration site po dito sa Manila was at The Secondwind running stores.

  14. We were just approaching loakan airport when we met Vertek Buenavista (full speed uphill) together with a kenyan on their way back to finish line, already made their u-turn somewhere at Kias. I think Vertek won this race. Just one of the many great moments of Baguio21k 2011.

    Baguio21k 2012 already on my list.

  15. Hi cecillevibar! I think Lance A question is valid and not arguable. As a fellow runner, of course the 1st thing that comes to my mind is safety during the road run..If you have to stop, peek, and face the wall so as not to be sideswiped by fast moving vehicles..Then I recommend the organizers should do something ’bout it. I’d like to join this event though.

  16. Sir Philip,

    i was wondering if our grp fr subic can pre reg, pay our fees via ur bank & send the docs via email & dep slips? so dat we are assured of our race #s b4 we go up to baguio …. salamt po ng marami

    bong.
    RAW, Subic

  17. @ cecillevivar comments # 33

    TWO THUMBS UP…

    LOLZ to mr lance mouthstrong…sorry armstrong pla.

    relax guys…

    PEACE & HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS.

  18. @Lance A.

    -bro, yung concern mo valid.no one would like a run where there will be portions where you have to face a wall just to let vehicles pass. running is passion, but it it’s a risk to one’s life, then it’s something to think about

    merry xmas to all!

  19. @tortoise runner & takbo lang

    Safety issues lang talaga…valid issue yan kahit ano pang race. No race is worth getting yourself injured or worse killed.

    Happy Holiday!

  20. @Ms Cecille: Thanks for giving us some peeks about this race.

    @Lance A. You may have some valid safety concerns, pero medyo mali ka nga talaga doon sa initial reaction mo sa comment ni Cecille. Wala naman akong nakitang mali doon sa post niya. Anyway, you can rectify it next time and just be more careful.

  21. Registration starts on January 15 at the following registration centers: CHRIS SPORTS – SM City Baguio, SM CITY, Pampanga, SM CITY Pangasinan, Market Market, A Runner’s Circle, Secondwind Running Stores, Baguio 35a Rimando. To avail of personalized BIB you must register early. thanks!!

  22. Let’s hope that the organizers become aware of the current issues

    1. Safety – to a serious runner, having to worry about speeding vehicles during a race is not funny no matter how humorous you put it in a post, Good Catch to Mr. Lance A.

    2. Race Date – Please consider moving it because it is evident that more people will join if you do so, i’m one of them.

  23. Sir/ Maam,

    My running grp wud like to run in ur april 8 event.
    We we’re wondering if we cud reg on line, pay our fees thru ur bank & just get our race packs a day b4 race day?
    We’ll be coming fr subic.

    tnx,
    bong
    RAW. subic

  24. bong alinea. pde naman yung suggestion mo. please deposit your registration fees at BDO account 5478012120 (Checking) company Renderfarm Graphics then you can email the deposit slip together with your runners info (full name, address, bday, sex, contact, email ad, singlet size) or as a group with one person to contact. Thanks

  25. @bong alinea: my workm8 is going to talk to sir phillip pacle, since the latter is his uncle if we can make the payment thru a bank like last year and we claimed our racekits a day before the race at a specific hotel venue. I’ll update you on it ;)

  26. @Beastrunner: Let me tell you that the humour was and will be exclusively mine to reminisce… I’ve been there and done it so it makes me qualified to share my thoughts about this event. DO NOT PREACH RIGHTEOUSNESS ABOUT SOMETHING YOU HAVEN’T EXPERIENCED YET okay!! That was how i felt and besides, if you are so particular about safety, just don’t join this event bec. even if you are just a bystander in a safe corner in some place, if you are destined to meet an accident, then it is inevitable that you will.

  27. Cecille: Uly is well informed of how you’re gonna register. Please deposit your registration fees at BDO account 5478012120 (Checking) company Renderfarm Graphics then email the deposit slip together with your runners info (full name, address, bday, sex, contact, email ad, singlet size) or as a group with one person to contact. Race Kit can be claimed at Baguio Convention Center between April 5-6-7, 9am to 5pm. Thanks

  28. sir how can i send you my email?! or instead post it here na lang sa pf para sa karamihan na din po.. thanks..

    racekit includes singlet?!

  29. @Philip Aquino Pacle: can we refer to the 2011 baguio run race route? will the road repair being done by DPWH affect the 2012 baguio run race route?

  30. @pacer: Hi. Road rehabilitation along the course of the route is done and wont affect the 2012 race route. However, there are added hills…. so we call it this time “JUST RUN THE HILLS!” More challenging. Tell your friends about Baguio 21K

  31. @steve: yes for both queries. Im not sure if its gonna be the same like last year. We registered thru bank payment and emailed our race info to renderfarm graphics and we claimed our racekits the day before the race in baguio at a specific hotel

  32. i just registered and was able to talk to philip – the race organizer. according to him, start/finish line is at burnham. finisher’s medal for all 21k will be given. personalized bib will be until feb 15 registration only :)

  33. Downhill then uphill pabalik sarap! padagdag lang ng hydration station sa last 5kms. Saka smaller cups na din gamitin para hindi sayang.

  34. I’m bringing an officemate and two relatives to this event this time.

    Ang frustration ko lang last year, wala akong kasamang tumakbo. Kaya wala din akong picture. Tagal ko nag-abang ng mga pictures, walang lumabas.

  35. Sir,

    Nag txt na po ako for confirmation re me & my gf’s registration, also our nicks po sana for the personalized bib along w/ my email.
    I’m still waiting for confirmation from you po. I was there in Baguio recently & was trying to contact you for meet up, but to no avail.

    Tnx,
    bongalinea
    RAW, Subic

  36. @Philip Aquino Pacle

    sir, i will be skipping this year’s edition. most (if not all) of the not-so-expensive hotels surrounding the park is fully booked already

    i should’ve aimed for an early booking knowing that the event coincided with holy week where most people heed to baguio

    hope to see you next year. btw, when will renderfarmsports.com be fixed so i can monitor the races that your team will organize?

    thanks!

  37. magpa reg po kami ng grupo namin tom sa manila. 7 runners po kami. can we still have our bib personalized? thanks and more power!
