  2. Fail! No more medal and lootbag. Duh! Hindi nabilang kung ilan ang registered? Dapat kung ilang slots ang in-open for 25k, ganun din kadami ang medals and lootbags na pinagawa because expect nyo na tatapusin nila lahat yun. WTF!

    • I agree. I am a 25k finisher but i’m really disappointed. Pagod nako wala pa akong medal at ang lootbag nasa sobre. Sayang lang effort. Sana naglagay sila time limit kung ganun lang mangyayari and anong klaseng event ito na madami pang 25k ang tumatakbo nagpack-up na sila. Pagdating mo ng finish line wala ng gaanong tao.

  3. Bakit ganon nagkaubusan na naman ng medal? D ba bilang naman nila yung regiatered runners ng 25k. Hay. Tapos pati loot bag ubus din. Nganga ang peg sa finishline. Kainis.

  4. nakakalokah naman ang run na e2,, naubos ang medal at lootbags,, hindi ba nila alam kung ilan ang runners?? taz baka naman pg ibibigay na nila un medal kelangan pa bumalik dun sa bgc!!napakahassle naman nun!! padalawa sablay na toh ng runrio..nauna un rexona run, kinulang sa finisher’s shirt..taz ngayun e2 naman..anyare????

  6. Nkkadisappoint lng un mga freebies..lootbag b un?prang ecobag lng n my papel..sa presyong 950 sa 25k dapt may finisher shirt mn lng hnidi biro takbuhin ang 25k noh…next year pg gnito ulit d nko ssali dto.

  7. My first! Congrats to the organizers of Power Run 2013! Kahit na may threat si Typhoon Yolanda, buti na lang natuloy. The race was very organized from the registration, to claiming of race shirts to the race day itself. Pag si Coach Rio talaga, nagorganize, sobrang ayos. Di bale ng mas mahal ng konti ang reg fee at may delay ang claiming ng race shirt. I love the race shirt and the freebies. Cant wait to use the GCs for my favorite shoe brand.

  8. 1st? 2nd? Is that what you guys have to say about the event? Kudos to NB for a successful run. Very well organized and definitely one of the best for this year. Cheers.

  9. yung ksama ko, naubusan ng medal.. hindi na rin nabigyan ng loots.. :(, kinuha number nila itetext na lang daw para sa medal. bakit naman kaya naubus ang medal? bilang dapat yun eh.

  11. walang medal at loot bag kami naabutan mga lumagpas 3hrs sa 25k bakit ganun ng bayad din kami bakit naubusan naka badtrip lang talaga pero overall ok naman yn lng sana next tym di na maulit eto..

  15. Tama! Bakit nila ginawang first come first serve basis ung pagbibigay ng lootbag? Eh parepareho lang naman ng amount na binayaran.. Unfair ang organizer..

  16. walang FAQ’s, walang cut-off pero bakit walang medal??? damn! i had cramps all the way but I finished the race for the achievement of getting a medal… hope NB and/or the organizer work this out, all finishers deserve a medal

      • @philpdagang — pinag-isipan ba yang comment mo??? first — the number of medals is adequate to the number of registered runners; second — hindi naman nakalagay sa registration na specific number of runners lang ang makakakuha ng medal….. mabilis ka nga tumakbo (siguro) kaso yung utak mo ang bagal naman gumana

      • ito ang taong pinanganak n super saiyan, ndi cguro to dumaan sa mga mababang distance ng takbo puro long distance kaagad, ang galing mo PHILIPDAGANG sana marepresent mo ang bansa natin s mga international competition ndi sa takbuhan h, s kayabangan

      • philipdagang mayabang ka kala mo sino ka mabilis tumakbo, kahit mabagal kami pinilit namin matapos yun so wag mo sabihin di namin kaya ksi wala naman time limit kahit mag lakad kami wala ka pakialam ksi ng bayad naman kami

      • @philipdagang – ay sorry naman… nakakuha ako ng medal… gusto mo isampal ko pa syo e o kaya itusok ko sa mapurol mong utak :)

  19. grabe lootbag basura laman ehh

    1 san mig coffee
    1 plastic generic water bottle
    the rest flyers ng alveo! ?!@#$%@ tlga! naturingang new balance, me pangalan tpos ganun lang?

    • Wow may plastic water bottle?! Yung nakuha ko puro papel at 2 sachet ng sanmig coffee! Whatever happened to the sponsors?! At bakit ganun yung medal? Anlayo sa pic! Fail!

      • where’s the 950!hahahaha

        wala nman problema magbayad ng mahal basta nassulit ung binayad..ang hirap kse ung mga ganitong running event nagging memorable in a bad way..haha

        markado ko n kayo blacklist na power run saken.. 2nd time n to palpak…

  21. nagkaubusan ng medal at lootbag,.. maliit pa ang singlet compared sa same size na tshirt ng ibang. event (liit sakin ng 2XL eh). hassle pa sa race kit claiming. Yung gatorade isang flavor (yellow green) lang na lasang gamot (may grapes daw hindi ko nakita), hehe. Ekis na tong New Balance Run sakin. Hindi worth it ang Php 950.

    • Trololol. agree with your comment on XXL. Not true size– medyo mas maliit. I knew when I registered but I accepted. But comparing from other races this one’s not too good. No Finishers shirts.Tinipid ba to or lumaki ba ko after training for 25 k? Anyway, I was hoping for a better loot bag only to be dissapointed. TO be fair, the course was lined with generous water and Gatorade stations. Thanks for the bananas too. Will I join next year? Might look for other races instead.

  22. Naku wag na kayu maghanap ng lootbag. Wala rin nmang wenta laman. SERIOUSLY?!?!?!? 2 sachet of 3 in 1 coffee. Dental voucher??? Discounted oral prophylaxis??? I can avail that free on my company health card!!!

    But i enjoyed the run which is the fun part…

  25. Tama nakakasama ng loob yung maubusan ng medal. Kaya nga nag 25K kasi yun ang may medal, Yun na sana ang reward mo to fulfill yung effort kasi ang hirap ng 25K at di basta basta… Dapat bilang nila ang no of runners di ba… Pagdating sa finish line sulat ang binigay. Sa lootbag claiming ubos na din nagbigay ng kape at voucher ng metro dental… Actually di worth yung binayaran… Charge to experience na lang and hopefully ibigay talaga ang medal… Buti na lng may medal ang husband ko kahit papano meron kahit isa kung hindi nganga sana… Salamat sa nagpahiram ng medal nila for picture taking purposes :)

    • Sa Mission Run daming natirang medal hahahhaha…. may finisher shirt pa kahit 3k lang tinakbo mo…. I ran sa mission run because it is intramuros…. it was a nice experience running through the walls of intramuros……

  29. Masaya naman at inabot yung medal, kalungkot lang yung iba na hindi nakukha ng medal, lintik din sa lootbag eh bote at kape lang tapos may malamig na tubig para pwedeng timplahin :))

  33. While waiting for my teammates nag kodak muna ako… Baka nakunan kayo. Thanks.

    • i suspect some of the ladies awarding the medals at the finish line inadvertently gave some medals to finishers other than 25k runners., my baggage was misplaced to counter no 4 instead of 3 (22513) good thing the young lady took time to sort the bags on the adjacent counter classic example of staff’s inefficiency(one fat guy who even reminded me to claim my bag at counter#3 afer the race)

  36. I hope the organizers would give us a feedback and resolve this right away regarding our medals, it is not much but it serves as a memoire of our achievement…

  38. enjoy the run… sana mawala na yung mga ninja.. tagal ko pumila sa photobooth nainip na lang ako at umalis daming NINJA sa PHOTOBOOTH hayssssssssss

  41. Epic fail! you run so hard to finish the run looking forward to get the finisher’s medal only to find out they run out of it? please explain when you know damn well how many registered for that category. you line up for the loot bag and they give you paper and coffee sachet with no bag? what happened? also they give you drinks out of the box when you needed a cold drink after the race and you see those manning the booth drinking ice cold drinks? that’s something!

  42. sulit yung bayad ko dito sa 25k. nanalo ako sa raffle ng apparel worth 995 eh. hahaha. kung totoo man yung may naubusan ng loot bag at medal, bakit naman ganun runrio at NB? sana walang ganyanan.

  43. Kulang sa portalet along the route..nakaihi na lang kami sa mcdo along 32nd avenue. pero the rest of the race is okay..as expected from runrio. medyo payat nga lang ang lootbag but I guess for the prize and the good quality of the shirt….pasok na rin.

  45. For me na natapos ng maaga eh wla nman naging issue sakin un run experience ko. I finished for 25K, had my lootbag & medal. But i dnt think this is a well organized event considering that there are complaints from other runners na first time ng long distance at naka finished sa abot ng kanilang makakaya.

    For me, it is unacceptable sa 1 event na magkaubusan ng lootbag & medal kc at first pa lang eh alam na nila un number of runners ng 25K. Naiintindihan ko kung bakit somehow masama ang loob ng mga naubusan kc pinilit nila makatapos khit mataas na ang araw dahil alam nila na pag dating sa FL eh may magsasabit sa knila ng medal at mapawi ng konti yun pagod at init n naranasan nila sa route. At pde ba dun sa mga marshal alamin nyo un details ha. wag nyo sasabihin at irarason sa mga naubusan na may cut off time. kc wla naman cut off time na sinabe. lalo lang kayo nakakadagdag ng sama ng loob sa mga late na natapos.

    E2 pa, ano 2ng laman ng lootbag? 2pcs na kape? cheap plastic tumbler??dental voucher??? asan un NB Voucher? ano ba 2? NB run ba talaga 2ng tinakbo nmin?nkaka disappoint tlga. di man lng npantayan un NB event last year.

    Ano ba yan Runrio, pang 2nd event nyo na to na sumasablay. This could be the lat Rio Event na sasalihan ko for this year. Lets see kung maayos nila ito nxt year kc kung ndi baka di na ko sumali ulet pag Rio ang nag organize.

  47. Last year sumali ako dito, mas maganda yung medal, at Hindi nag Kaubusan ng medal, ang nakakainis yung lootbag, mas maraming papel, kaya hindi na ako sumali, from 5k to 25k, nag try lang ako. Happy run sa inyo po

  48. I believe anticipated na kukulagin yung medal, this is what i observed around 2:20 after the gunstart of the 25km, Coach rio was on the finishline manning the place ensuring that the ‘finisher medal’ tag on the bib are taken. This kind of unnecessary actions are very hard to avoided and can only be minimize. Ito ay dahil kung sakaling di nakuha ang finisher medal tag mo, eh merong mga nagsasamantala na umikot ulet para tumakbo ulet sa finishline, this is true you may check some of the photo albums out there.

    Rest assure you’ll not be left empty handed, makukuha niyo rin naman medal niyo and loot bag.

    And for those who are complaining regarding the lootbag content, ofcourse newbalance nga yung organizers eh what you expect merong shampoo or vitamins diyan sa lootbags niyo. Though i might agree with you if bakit walang virginia hotdog, dole fruits, sante barley ekek, or garmin 910xt. lol

    • FYI – di kmi nag expect n meron shampoo or vitamins sa lootbag. kaw ba eh nagcheck ng laman ng lootbag mo? pno mo irerelate ang kape sa NB? pnu mo irerelate ang dental voucher sa NB? we are expecting NB vouchers at any give aways n related sa NB. ingat ingat din nman sana sa pag post ng comments…

  50. ay naku, i think the ‘people’ have spoken despite the complaints,
    grabe sobra dami ng participants even at the 25 km race, so i guess this event is an overwhelming success.
    tigas ulo ng ibang runners, ciguro sobra bagal tumakbo kaya walang loot bags at medals. the problem is hindi kaya pilit ng pilit. . so unrealistic. well, at least nakitakbo lang ako, naka kuha pa ng gatorade (powdered) and lots of sponges ( pang gamit sa tire black he he)
    with regards to medals- just my opinion:
    bakit ka bibigyan ng medals, hindi ka naman placer or champion? di ba?
    Sa College/University pag graduate mo e, may medal ka bang natanggap just for graduating? you are just fooling yourself!
    i think i will not join the milo 10 km event anymore, sobra dami ng tao walang kuwenta.
    to those who did not get their loot bags ( na walang kuwenta ang laman) and the medals, well, as usual naisahan ka naman ni rio. was he there, or was he hiding somewhere to avoid the crowd. . .

    • HELLO! naka engrave sa medal is ‘FINISHER’ not ‘CHAMPION’. as simple as that. kuha mo???

      nakitakbo ka lang pala nakiinom ka pa ng gatorade at nanguha ng sponge… anu tawag dun?? ahhh FREELOADER…

      • Agree Ray!

        I don’t think this potamus55 should be called a runner! that words shouldn’t be coming from someone who suppose to understand kung ano ang meaning ng Running Development… siguro pinanganak syang runner na? WOW!

    • @potamus55 I’ll share with you some famous marathon quotes and maybe you’ll understand why there is such a thing as a “finishers” medal…i know it’s referencing a marathon but half mary is still a serious distance so here I think it still counts.

      “We are different, in essence, from other men. If you want to win something, run 100 meters. If you want to experience something, run a marathon.”

      “I’ve learned that finishing a marathon isn’t just an athletic achievement. It’s a state of mind; a state of mind that says anything is possible.”

      “To finish will leave you feeling like a champion and positively change your life.”

      “Motivation remains key to the marathon: the motivation to begin; the motivation to continue; the motivation never to quit.”

    • siguro nong pag graduate mo hindi ka natuwa kasi natapos mo n yung 6 n taon mo sa elementary, 4 n taon sa high school, 2 to 5 years mo s college, or malamang HINDI k nag-aral kasi pinagmamalaki mo pang BANDIT k, from your words WALA KANG KWENTA ninanakaw mo yung binayaran ng mga registered runner

    • Sino kaya mas walang kwenta.. nkitakbo ka n nga lang as in Bandit.. tpos kung maka comment kala mo elite.. d ka nmn ngbyad kapal ng mukha mo mg gatorade and sponge pa..sosyal

  52. PROS: madami namang portalet compared sa previous runs, banana station had decent supply and hydration wasnt much of a problem.
    CONS: yung gatorade nila di masyado na halo ng maayos. and kulang sa proper handling of water and ice, naghalo ang pawis at water/gatorade ng mga staff, loot bags nagkaubusan and pati medal, may mga nagkapalitan ng baggage. LAST NB events were better. parang padeteriorate na ang mga events ni coach.. sana konting tutok next time, idol!

  53. nasaan ung voucher na cnasabi nila naka2walang gana talga pang ganyan dami pang d nabigyan ng medal shitt… talga gusto lang nila kumita samantalang ung mga runners laging ng eensayo pra lang mka tapos…. :(

  54. Mas maganda yung last year… talaga? May mga hindi nakakuha ng medal and lootbag??? Paano nangyari yun??? For the medal, either kulang yung napagawa or may mga ninja nanaman na nagpagawa ng bib number nila (tulad dati)…

  55. HI, yung voucher po ba ng NB na in-advertise e biigay nung bumili kayo ng prepaid card? expected po kasi namin ibibigay yun after ng race, together with the freebies. pero ang binigay sa min e yung Metro Dental na voucher instead…

  56. ako nga shirt claiming pa lang naubusan na ng size. I’m a newbie and I just realized that these kind of runs are all hype and solely for marketing purposes only. This is the 5th time I joined a race and surprisingly, 2 of my memorable run are those of the low key ones (HP run for me is the best and most organized one). Now I feel bad that I’m running Nike…. with the same organizer, I’m really not looking forward to it anymore….

  59. Nakakatawa pa is walang gaanong sponge na available. Paano kasi yung ibang mga dapat magbigay nun tinago nila. Nung pabalik na along Buendia is nag aayos na sila sa left side kasi wala ng mga dadaan na runners. Nakita ko ilang malalaking supot ng sponge na Unused ang naitago nila at siguro ibebenta nila yun. Sakay sila ng yellow na jeep na kasama ng mga hydration pips… Pati mga nagtatrabaho pinagkakainteresan ang sponge… Need pa naman yun kasi sobrang init at nakakapagod ang run…

    • 1 year pa lang ako tumatakbo.. napansin ko si RIO ang sukatan ng ibang race organizer.. pero lately mukhang sumasablay na si RIO lalo na yung mga tao nya lalo na yung marshalls. Coach, common na yan kung sila sila din ang kukunin mong tatao sa mga patakbo mo.. expected nila na sila naman ang kukunin mo every sunday kaya kahit na umupo lang sila at di magtrabaho meron pa din silang kita… try to have different sets of marshall or race personnel. tnx

  60. Well, its really sad na ang iba ay di nakakuha ng medal at lootbag (wala rin naman laman).But look at the bright side, you ran, you finished and you conquered the 25km route. Lets go 42km next time. Congratulations runners!!!!

  61. I had injuries and cramps all the way pro pnilit ko tpusin tpos pgdting s finish line wla ng medal, d bale ng wlang loot bags, sna totoo na almy drating png medal. First tym ko na encounter n fail ang pg organize ng Runrio. Also, pgdting ng 8am wla ng mga tubig s hydration station which is kinda disappointing kc pano nmn ung mga naiwang runners.

  62. nagkaubusan ng medal at lootbag? anak ng teteng.. e wala nm usapan from the beginning na may cut off. i sympathize for those who did not get their hard earned medal. imagine u try to finish your race with cramps and all tapos sasabihin naubos na. Buti wlng ngwala. nung pauwi nko dami ko p nm nkitang parating plng. wala silang kamalay malay na wl nm pla silang makukuhang medal. ok lng khit wl nung loot bag e.. pero ung medal shortage is unacceptable.

  64. Nakakapanlumo actually kasi medal na lng ang motivation mo pra tapusin kahit hirap ka na… Pagdating dun wlang reward na medal kungdi sulat na Sorry… Blah balah blah…

    May mga ibang nagalit pero wala na dn naman magagawa kasi wala talaga eh…

    Hopefully lang maibigay pa rn yun kasi pinaghirapan nating tapusin ang 25K na di naman biro lalo na sa mga 1st time 25K runners na tulad ko na yun ang pinaka longest distance na tinakbo…

  65. @potamus55 — your opinion sucks (just like you) and hindi pinag-isipan ang comment mo na sakto lang sa isang tao na hindi nag-iisip… yung medal e FINISHER’S MEDAL!!! kuha mo o hindi pa din??? you are the one fooling yourself…. so pag yung event e maraming tao, wala nang kwenta??? o ikaw yung walang kwenta????

    and FYI, rio was there sitting along the last 100m to finish line…and even posted for pictures till around 8:30am sa may finish line….

  66. How come mauubos ang medal eh dapat tallied yan sa total number of registrants ng 25K? Felt bad for my friends who did their very best to finish the 25K distance despite of the injuries they had. Tssss. The issue on insufficient medals and finisher shirts kept repeating one after the other. :| This is not good.

  67. Dialogue after the New Balance Power Run…

    runner 1: complaints…
    runner 2 3 4: complaints.. complaints..
    runner 5 6…99: complaints.. complaints… yada yada yada…complaints..

    Runrio: I invoked my rights against self-incrimination!!!!

    (>_<) PEACE!!!

  68. i registered online and didn’t get the NB vouchers that was supposed to be given. i thought it will be given with the loot bag as well since they didn’t distribute it with the race kit. Tsk!! the organizers didn’t even think of the online registrants.
    Oh well, wag na lang bumili ng NB product, sayang ung discount na dapat meron sana.

  72. this is totally unfair for those who completed the 25k run. I think the organizers or NB should be held accountable for this considering they promised medal if you finish the 25k run, unless there was a super fine print that medals will be given to early finishers only.

    The loot bag was basically a bag. That was it..

    NB vouchers were never seen, particularly for those who registered online. Again, this was another promise that was not complied with.

    This is not fair. WE paid for all of this, and yet, we were short changed.

  73. why is it that wala pa ring reply from the organizers? (NB & Rio) marami na ang haters… dun naman sa mga “runners” don’t be too harsh sa mga newbies… true medyo mabagal at naglakad, pero pinilit pa rin matapos dahil yung achievement na nakatapos ng ganung kalayo ay hindi biro… I think every finisher deserves a Medal… Calling out to Rio and NB

  74. bat ganun ung ibang runners? wala talagang disiplina may trash can naman bat hindi nila i shoot dun? mahirap bang gawin yun? daming kalat naawa naman ako dun sa mga street sweeper sa makati! matanda pa

  75. kailan nmin makuha ang medal nmin?first time ko tumakbo ng 25k..tapos naubusan pa ng medal…ang tanong?bkit kulang at nagkaubusan ng medal…dapat tallied ang total ng 25k runners sa total ng medal dba?

  78. para sakin ang konti ng laman ng loot bag para sa ganun price na registration fee… anyway sana for a cause na lang yun iba sa registration fee.. para sa victims ng Yolanda

    • tumawag ako sa Runrio at ang sbe ng staff nya eh iclaim daw un NB voucher sa Planet Sports.. WOW.. ang galing dba? hassle na sa pagclaim ng race kit pti b nman sa voucher papahirapan pa din. malinaw naman na nakaindicate sa inclusiion ng pre-race na ang marereceive eh NB shirt, bib at 1,250 NB voucher.. kso nun nagclaim ng kit ang sbe eh after the race n daw isasama. at ngaun eh ayun.. ike claim n lng ulet.. pahirap kn Runrio.. di na to mauulet.

  81. Dami na naman plang ninja.. Sana ma-report na mga yan.. ok lang mabagal cguro basta matapos mo yung event. Problema sa new balance event yung mga ninja may medal pero yung mga tinapos yung event ng walang daya nga nga. Malinaw naman na walang silang binigay na cut-off time at lalong wala sila binigay na info na first come first serve yung medal. ang malinaw eh may medal pag pag tinapos mo yung event.

  82. Ako naman sa Tshrit..Small naging Large..Diba online na nga ng reg.dapat alam nila ilang small gagawin.at ilang large at Ilang medal…Dpat ayusin to si Coach Rio. kawawa naman mga nauubusan. dami nag issue naganto.

  84. Ayan umiral n tlga ang katamaran ng RunRio… nag bigay n nman ng result gase on gun time. sunod2 na to ha. malamang sa malamang na di n ko mag register sa mga future events nya. puro sablay na.

  86. dapat may curfew time para totoong runner lang ang makatanggap ng medal! ang problema kasi pati yung mga magpupumilit at magkukunwaring runner nakakakuha ng medal!

  87. @JEPROKS
    Sir nakakalungkot namang basahin yang comment nyo, ano po ba ang definition ng medal para sa inyo? Para po kaseng hindi kayo dumaan sa pagiging beginner kung makapagsalita kayo. Take note may mga tumakbo po na bulag, maikli ang isang paa, obese, bata, matanda sa 25km category. Hindi naman po pabilisan ang goal ng event na ito kaya nga po wala silang itinakdang “cut off time” sa kanilang mechanics. Kung ganyan lamang po ang pananaw nyo eh sana kayo na lang po ang huwag sumali sa mga events na walang “cut off time” at humanay kayo sa mga elite kung sa tingin nyo ay tunay na runner kayo. Kaya nga po tinawag na”FINISHER’S MEDAL” kase po para sa lahat ng nakatapos.. isip isip din po pag may time bago po mag komento.. pakiexplain na lang po kung me dapat kayong ipaliwanag.. labyu!

  88. I was not supposed to run dito due to the unreasonable and very one-sided mechanics sa simula pa lang. But thanks to DEVANT, i got a race entry. Salamat sa sponsor. Anyway, its good that most runners now see how running became a business. Its true, Mas madami pa ibang organizers who are not as big as this one, but mas maka-runners. To be fair, NB should change organizer next year para wag madamay. Going back, good race and challenging course. Good hydration. Tuloy lang ang training to improve. And pili na ng good races next time.

  89. This is my opinion and mine alone. When I join a run I usually look at it in a bigger view. I run because of what it can give me, like I burn calories, I can reach my maximum heart rate, active mind, toned muscles. In my run I always make a goal and that goal is improving every time I achieve it, like injury free after the run, to reach the finish line, to finish the run within allowable time. When I achieved everything in this category than that is the time for me to go up to the next level. Now this is all what I pay for every time I join a run. It’s more of personal satisfaction. The loot bags and freebies are just extras.. As I’ve said this is just my view and mine alone. Good everyone and keep running.

  90. simpleng tanong, simpleng sagot. ang dapat na curfew time ay yung katulad sa national milo marathon: 21K = 02h:30m at 42K = 06h:00m

    huwag na kayong masyadong maarte dahil alam ninyo ang sinasabi ko. magpakatotoo tayo mga tsong!

  92. Just my two cents…

    We all love to run, regardless of the reasons. Sa mga mabibilis, we applaud you. Sa mga mababagal, we applaud you louder. Sa pagtatapos lang ng buong 25K, that’s an achievement. And you deserve to get your hard-earned medal kasi FINISHER’s medal yun and not just for the elites. Be it the bragging rights or being one of the “elite” runners, we should respect the “slower” runners, kasi regardless of the physical conditions, and whatever reasons, they managed to finish the race.

    This run should be renamed GATORADE RUN next year sa dami ng Gatorade. Pati staff ng RunRio eh mga ninja din. They even had the gall to eat the bananas and drink the Gatorade + water FOR the runners in front of the runners. Galing! Lootbags looked like they were brought at Divisoria for 50cents each. Wala man lang tatak ng New Balance. Rio, tinipid much?

    Let’s face it, RunRio has been heartlessly raking in our hard-earned money for every run, but for the love of running, we still join in his events. Despite the epic fails and shitty BS, his events still create a buzz that makes people join. I just hope runners and those who are still motivated to run will be wise enough to think before clicking “register” in any RunRio-related events next year.

    Na-explain ko na. Rio, ikaw naman ang mag-explain bago dumami ang likes mo, in the most negative way possible. Lab U.

    • Amen! I only joined this run to celebrate my birth month and to support New Balance. I do not join any RunRio events because it is such a big hassle to have separate registration & kit claiming dates. Hopefully next year Planet Sports/New Balance decides to switch organizers.

  93. haha nakaka aliw dito… hindi talaga nawawalan ng KSP… Ito yung mga taong sinasadyang mag post ng hateful comments para lang mapansin ng iba at sumikat sila sa kayabangan nila dahil pinapatulan naman ng iba sa pag reply sa mga comments nila…

    these people are very lonely in their life… that is… if they really have a life…

    nakakaawa lang… tsk tsk tsk…

  94. Pag hndi ka ba umabot ng 2hrs at 30minutes, hndi ka na totoong runner? Nakakalungkot yang ganyang pananaw sa buhay. Respeto lng s iba. Mahirap tlaga ibigay yan lalo na kng masyadong mataas ang tingin sa sarili. Sana inilaban k na ng pinas s olympics para maka-gold naman tau.

    • Hahaha
      Tama ka dyan Alice and Raymond
      May mga tao talagang sobrang KSP, …elite kuno na ang tawag sa karamihan ng runners ay “Jolog” kasi pa-picture at loot bag lang daw ang habol.
      Siguro may mga 99.89% ang mga tulad namin/nating runners na kung tawagin ng mga mayayabang na eltista ay Jologs
      …. kasi naman proud kaming magpa-picture at natapos namin ang takbo mapa 3k, 5k, 10k 21k o 25k man.

      Kaya siguro mabilis kayong tumakbo dahil sa lakas ng hangin na dala nyo.

      hahaha

      Oo dapat kayong sumali sa olympics para maka gold ang Pinas, susuporta pa kami sa inyo!

  95. Post ka pa ng cut off times eh wala na ngang binigay na cutoff. E di hindi na sana sumali yung mabbagal pag alam nilang may cutoff. Deserve nilang matanggap ang binayaran bila. Kung hindi, mapupunta lang yung sa coruption.

  96. ang issue dito e hindi nakatanggap or nakakuha ng finisher’s medal ang ilang finisher ng 25k…. bakit nga kaya nangyari yun??? e diba dapat number of registered runners kapareho lang ng number of finisher’s medals???

    possible reason #1 — may mga ninja nanaman na nagpa-photocopy ng bib at syempre may stub sila ng medal… meaning mas madami na ang bilang ng 25k finishers kumpara sa number of medals

    possible reason #2 — nakalimutan kunin ng mga ate na nagbibigay ng finisher’s medal yung stub for the medal kaya ayun, may nagsamantala at kumuha ulit ng medal

    possible reason #3 — mas kaunti talaga yung napagawang finisher’s medal

    kahit ano pa ang reason, only the organizer knows….

    this is no longer an issue of “you didn’t receive a medal because you finished last or because you ran slow”…. first and foremost, there was no CUT-OFF TIME indicated in the FAQ (read: cut-off time not curfew time). second, the medals are FINISHER’S MEDALS — meaning given to anyone who finished the race (whether you finished it 1st or last)…

    enough said……

  98. I just received a call from Power Run asking me kung dedeliver or pick up ang medal. Pwede daw pick up sa Planet Sports stores kung saan pinakamalapit…

    Ang tanong kung kelan d ko pa po alam they will contact me again daw. Sana nga very soon… Fellow runners na hindi nakakuha ng medal may pag asa na magka medal tayo :)Let’s hope for the best na mabigyan nga tayo at di lang paasahin!

    • may nagtext din sakin after ng rexona event kasi naubusan kami ng finisher shirt. asking my details and shirt size. nagtext sila 3days after the event. until now hindi na ako binalikan kung kelan maibibigay ang finisher shirt..kaya i doubt kung mabibigay pa nila.sana nga maibigay nila kung anong para satin ^_^

  100. @ vernie

    Pareho lang ang cut-off time at curfew time! They can be used interchangeably. Bottomline runner must beat the time to deserve a finisher medal. Bawal ang nagkukunwari at nagpupumilit na runner!

    @ Raymond

    Hindi ko kailangang magpapansin pero kung napansin mo then the point had been made! Ang papansin ay yung mga jologs/selfie runners bragging their finisher medals on social media!

    @ Alice

    Simple lang ang argumento ko! Bumalik muna sa 10K hung hindi kaya ang minimum 02:30 = 21K.

    • nakakainit ka talaga ng ulo JEPROKS!!! DAPAT inaappreciate mo na lng effort ng iba hindi ung hila ka ng hila pababa!! at chaka hindi naman ikaw ang nahihirapan sa pagtakbo nila ah!!!wag ka nga makialam!!sarili mo ang pakialaman mo!!!marunong ka pa sa organizer,,eh cla nga hindi naglalagay ng cut off time!!mag organize ka ng sarili mong run!!

    • @ JEPROKS

      cut-off — a designated limit or point of termination; a point serving as the limit beyond which something is no longer effective, applicable or possible

      curfew — a regulation requiring certain or all people to leave the streets or be at home at a prescribed hour

      now, how the hell are these two be used interchangeably if they have different meanings??? the only instance runners must beat the prescribed or cut-off time to received a finisher’s medal is when the ORGANIZER implements it. if there’s no time limit, then all finishers deserve to get a finisher’s medal — sadly, whether they cheated or not….

      at pano naman naging papansin yung mga nag-post ng finisher’s medal nila online? they’re just proud of what they’ve accomplished (whether they ran fast or slow) — especially if you are a 300+ pound individual who finished a half-marathon or a polio-stricken individual whose one leg is shorter than the other yet you finished a 25km run or a 40-something individual who finished a half-marathon despite pushing a wheelchair contaning your sick son or a 70-something individual who finished a marathon…

      hmmmm…since your first post dito sa thread, you kept on mentioning Milo cut-off times, which got me thinking… hindi kaya never ka pang nakakuha ng medal sa Milo (whether 21k or 42k) kaya ka ganyan??? and you kept on saying na bumalik muna sa 10k pag di pa kaya ang 2hrs, 30mins sa 21k as a reminder to your self??? ahahahahaha (at bago ka pa mag-reply, i’ve only been running for 2 years and joined milo during these 2 years at nakakuha po ako ng medal)

      thank you!!! ^_^
