EDSA Half-Marathon – June 28, 2015

EDSA-Half-Marathon

Since MMDA is closing Half of EDSA on Sunday (June 28, 2015) for Bikers and Pedestrians, we thought that this can be a great opportunity for runners to run a HALF-MARATHON along EDSA!

This might be the one and only opportunity for runners to run along the busy highway safely. Here’s the plan!

EDSA Half-Marathon
June 28, 2015
Approx 21K

Since based on the news, MMDA will close down parts of EDSA starting from SM Mall of Asia to Ortigas, so we thought that this would be the perfect race route.

1. Start from Ocean Drive in SM MOA
2. Run Along EDSA until SM MEGAMALL
3. UTurn Back via Shaw Blvd.
4. Run Back Along EDSA to starting point in SM MOA
5. Total Distance Approx ~ 23K

Disclaimer:
1. YES, this is a crazy idea, and we don’t recommend anyone doing this alone, but perhaps it’s a good idea if you are planning to do this with your running group and team.
2. Cars will still be at the other-half of EDSA, so be sure always be alert and take extra care
3. Bring your own Hydration.
4. This is just an idea, execute at your own risk and Take Care!

  3. Can they stop the motorists? Sa bgc at buendia na nga lang nag mumura na sila pag may run, edsa pa kaya? U0001f62f

  4. wow, gonna join if that would happen haha. Guadalupe area would be like the ‘heartbreak hill’ of this route XD

  5. True po ito.. 2 lanes isasara for bikers and pedestrians. Rally po ata ito to have bike lanes sa edsa. Kasi yung binigay nilang (mmda) bike lanes sa bangketa, wala na. Puro puno tsaka paradahan ng mga sasakyan.

  6. There would be a race this weekend Along MOA area so I’m not sure you can start running along Ocean drive… But hey, if I weren’t joining this weekend’s race, I would do this! :)

  7. Need to coordinate with MMDA for permission and assistance from their personnel otherwise, it would be risky to runners.  Wala naman kasing partition or divider at the center separating pedestrians and vehicles traveling along the road in both direction.  I don’t think this is possible unless MMDA place/install boulders at the center of Edsa from South to North & vice-versa.  Besides, it would be burdensome & task full for them to do it just to give way to the runners.  Also, they need equipment and personnel plus a big budget.  One thing more, they cannot control killer buses plying Edsa during unholy hours 0100h to 0600h.  Too dangerous i guess…
