shirt sizes please…

bakit sa BGC to gaganapin? nakakasawa na… sana MOA na lang ulit…

..nice shirt

@jhon: pwedeng hindi sumali pre…

May finisher’s medal ba yung 21K? Yun lang nakikita kong way para maging talagang worth yung price eh.

we went to GB3 to check the T-shirt.sorry to say this but for the price, you can tell easily na hindi sila bumawi sa Tshirt. manipis yung telang ginamit nila..tpos yung 3 & 5k tshirt, kakulay ng DON BOSCO P.E. Uniform..

to all, isip-isip muna kung sasali kayo dito..pass muna ako dito…

peace ! :D

For the 21k runners, the people in the registration said, they would be giving out mini trophies for the finishers instead of a medal.. We’ll see.. Mukhang dadami bandits nito sa ginagawa nitong mga organizers na ito eh..

Would pass on this one. too commercialized.

galing ako greenbelt kahapon… pangit ang singlet ang kagandahan lang kasi national geographic ang nakaprint! nagparegister pa rin ako 21k hehehehe…

6:45 ang gun time ng 5k??? super late naman.

I’ve registered na pala, and the people in the booth told me that instead of Finisher’s Medals, they’ll be giving away TROPHIES for 21KM finishers! XD

Hala sige! Magpa-uto kayo dyan. Tatawa-tawa lang siguro mga people behind this event, kasi madami pa rin naman ang papatol. But not me, pag walang affordable na event eh di takbo-takbo lang muna own my own. Tutal hindi naman ako athlete o enthusiast. ^___^ Basta chek-chek na lang online ng up and coming events na kaya ko salihan.

trophies instead of medals? hmmm….

@ronron: Personally, I joined this race since wala narin ibang 21KM runs. Yung Baguio21K sana kaso I’m not sure if I’ll be able to travel that far. Kalungkot lang kasi mahal, but I guess at least trophy naman ibibigay instead of the usual medal for 21K finishers (pasaway nga lang sa medal collection), at favorite channel ko naman Nat Geo eh… Pero after nito, ayaw ko na talaga patulan mga 21K na ganyan kamahal… Tama na yung Condura at Nat Geo, since yung Globe nga di ko na sinalihan eh.

noon pa ako nate-tempt mag-comment. pero hindi na lang, baka may masabi pa akong hindi maganda.
good luck na lang sa mga sasali.

TALAGA LANG HAH! tophies??????

@reydor. amen to that and i second the motion.

pakita nila muna yung sinasabi nilang trophy….kakaduda eh

are they sure 21k distance nung nasa map?

comparing it sa unilab race route, parang mas mahaba ‘tong sa natgeo.

@ kembot pace: thanks. sometimes i feel that I am a lone voice in the wilderness. it is quite uplifting that there are still those who believe in a worthy cause/argument.

pag-iisipan ko pa ‘to ng bonggang bongga… :P dahil kailangan!

diba ang eventking ang organizer ng condura marathon? baka naman maganda ito tulad ng condura kaya mahal

stop supporting “money-making” races like this one, Runrio, Condura, etc… even if they present you with those fake charities they are supporting (ok fine, maybe they give 1 peso out of your 1 thousand for those causes)

Just registered a while ago. Nice kung trophy.

Hanap muna ako ng race na medyo mura basta may water stations na sapat at marshalls, ok na yun. Di kailangang may pangalang sikat na dinadala. Balik muna ako sa mga pa-10K, 10K lang, nagkakaedad na ako, baka di na tama na tumakbo pa ako ng malayuang routes. Pangfitness na lang talaga.

@rotech and @ reydor. di naman ako kj o hater ng natgeo, i love my tech shirt last year and i can say the race was well organized. yun nga lang, naniniwala ako sa law of supply and demand.

biglang boom ng running community. may enough runners who can afford and who are willing to pay the high fees… for now.

kung kokonti na kaya ang sasali pag 1k and above ang fees? bababa kaya ang mga fees nila? sundan ang susunod na kabanata.

just curious, how do we know if these institutions they claim to be the beneficiaries, nakakarating ba talaga sa kanila?

also, nahighblood ako sa mga tao sa booth nng RUNrion 1 when i registered my husband, ni hindi pwedeng papalitan ang size ng shirt, nung makitang nairita ako pwede na daw…like am practically paying for nothing tapos babastusin ka medyo nakakapag-isip…

will there be singlets? every other events seem to have one

well…. try run for light balanga bataan of myshelter foundation. BATAAN home of the BDM run. kaya lang this one fun run and not under baldrunner. chek their poster here or runnersrunner.com/bataanrun

I would like to know if there’s a XXXL size shirt?

nice run event, but too expensive!

sino sino na po nagpauto?

May finisher kit din ba at shirt?

@erik gatmaitan: ha ha ha kakatawa question mo. Grabe talaga ginawa talagang benchmark ang condura. shame, shame, shame, yakult & takbo para sa karunungan was able to organize a P300. event and to top it all Hyundai did it for free! Wag nang magpauto coz there are still a lot of upcoming events on April & may, wait na lang tayo.

may medal po ba to?

Ang mahal naman! ba’t ang Hyundai nagpa fun-run for free, pede naman pala e. Good luck na lang sa hard-earned money ng mga sumali. sana worth it. =)

may mali yata….
see 5k assembly time 5:45am, gun start 6:45am..
while ang 10k, 4:30am, 5:30am ..
also 3k, 5:00am, 6:00am
respectively…..
madali namang sabihin na mali sila, di kaya sablay ito????????

may finisher’s medal ba to? kung di lang mag anniversary ako sa takbo di ako sasali, sobrang mahal.

to arland tol need to reprint ijmvol 3 pls contact me 0920-9244626…..

ba’t may mga nag-ngangangawa?! hindi naman kayo pinipilit sumali ah? pwedeng hindi sumali!

gud am, ask ko lang kung gano kalaki yun 5k shirt na medium? thanks

Buti na lang binasa ko comments dito. Bigla akong napaisip, maaasar na sana ako sa mga taong ang habol lang ay trophy at shirts. But will my money really be going to a good cause? Hmm..

Sana may gawin silang run for the tsunami and earthquake victims in Japan.. panu ba mag-organize ng ganitong events? gusto ko mag-organize! hahaha!

who’s the event organizer for this?just want to file a complaint re rude behaviour ng nagreregister neto.

wow ang yaman ni tsong… hindi lang mgpaparegister sa run na to mandedemanda pa… go girl!!!

@erwin0618, organizer is eventking

i smell something,.,,

mukang ndi ito matutuloy s april 10., maiiuurong toh.,un lng narinog ko ah., ., lets see n lng., hehehe

Its been 10 days since I registered online and I have yet to receive my singlet VIA parcel. Their commitment is 5 to 7 days…Nasaan na kaya yon?

i just registered @10K today.. kakabad3p un nagbbgay nung shirt mejo masungit ang sarap ….

meron ba makukuha ang finisher sa 10K? this is my 1st tym to join.. mejo mahal nga un reg fee @P950 for 10K?!

kung ayaw nyo tumakbo wag hindi ung ang dami nyo pang cnasabi tumakbo kau for a cause hindi for the shirt or some s**t!!!

may nagsabi sa akin (although hindi ako sure) na kaya mahal kasi part sa reg fee is airfare ng mga runners from abroad? hindi ko talaga gets. hindi na ako nagtanong kasi ayaw ko na rin intindihin. mahal kung mahal.. sa organizer na yun. pero it’s up to each runner to decide if he wants to shell out the cash for the reg fee or not. tayo naman nagpipili which runs to participate in.

With regards sa online registration…i took exactly 7 days bago dumating excluding yung saturday and sunday. AIR 21 yung courier na pinadalhan nila. Ok yung resvice tama sa sinasabi nilang 7 WORKING DAYS!….

Regarding sa mga tao sa registration sa Greenbelt….may nakapagsabi nga sa akin na very rude sila sa mga registrants. Bakit naman ganun? Sana may makapansin nito.

tga event king tlga, ndi tlga marunong magapproach ng client nila., ndi marunong magassist, puro pacute lng ginagawa nila s reg site nila.,

kakairita!!!

@Cecille/Eric G., run the race you could afford… you have a lot of races to choose from.

kaya tinawag na fun run at run for benefits kasi may matutulungan ka na healthy pa tayo kaya kung trip mo sali at tumulong wag na isipin ang gagastusin di naman sa masamang gawain mapupuna eh..experience fun and helping hands…takbo na

s mga umaangal..you should partcipate the event muna b4 leaving negative comments on this run.il register later kht n sbhin nyo pang uto-uto ako.. :-)) enjoy the run and the cause not for medals.singlet and freebies.kung yun
lng habol nyo eh ung entry fee nyo ipagawa nyo ng medal and singlet and bmili kyo ng freebies nyo,at this you mybe youll be satisfied on what you will get on your money at mkkpamili p kyo ng gus2 nyong design.as simple as that.. :-))

regarding people sa registration booths sa GB: usually naman, bihira sa pinas ang kapuri-puri ang service/assistance sa mga tao…kadalasan mga hindi okay. kasi yang mga masusungit at mga di marunong mag-assist na yan, yan yung mga tinatawag na 8-5pm people, makapagtrabaho lang, ok na. pasok ng 8am, uwi ng 5pm, tapos. so walang pakialam kung anong type ng service/assistance ang ginagawa nila. Ipagpasa-Dios na lang natin ang mga ganyang kapwa natin. Guys, biktima din ako ng mga ganitong tao madalas, intindihin na lang natin sila…naniniwala naman ako sa karma…joke! see you on the 10th!

basta takbo lang…para sa akin i’m investing for my health kung kaya bayaran ang fee go kung hindi, pwede naman tumakbo na walang bayad di ba…

2xl lang ata largest sa male and mali nga naka post na time above for 5k. It should be 0545H (guntime)

@swiftrunner: well i hope you’re not being sarcastic coz i have the right to express my opinion in this forum and as a matter of fact i did. I’ve been running for more than a year now so i know better. Even if i have the means for pay for an expensive run i realized that there are other events with cheaper registration to come and i would not always have the money to pay fot it.

By the way are you up for an out of town marathon, say TNF CAMSUR?

this is my first time to join a fun run..
i registered for 10k catergory at Greenbelt.
It looks nman… or probably I’m just not after the shirt or registration fee stuffs.. im just for a new experience doing healthy stuff aside from going to the gym…

it looks ok nman i mean… mahal na ba ang 950 ngaun? im just curious

infairness to the organizer… they treated me nice namn when i registered last Saturday sa Greenbelt…

Hi everyone. I’m 15 years old. sorry po kung nakiki-epal ako sa usapan dito. i just want to say na hindi naman po tayo pinipilit na sumali in this run. And, for me, kahit na medyo expensive, ok lang kasi po you’re running for a cause; to help other people. At hindi lang sila matutulungan mo. Even yourself. :) Let’s not argue and just respect each other’s opinion. God bless us all and be happy. :D

Well, sa mga maraming sinasabi dyan, kesyo mahal ganito ganyan, pwede ka namang tumakbo ng hanggang 42K nang walang binabayaran ah? e di wag ka na lang sumali sa kahit anong fun run o run for a cause o whatever you wanna call it? Me personally, I trust natgeo and want to part of history kaya I’m (was) willing to pay the price.

I trust natgeo and want to part of history – want to “be a” part of history

This is an event…hindi nman tau pinipilit…just run for a cause!!!
yung ayaw sumali..u can run for free..
Dont influence the others by ur nonsence reason..:)

let’s not think about the money… let’s think of how we can help save mother earth in a fun and healthy way before its too late.
World Peace :-)

buti nmn puro positive comments nah..:))
see you guys on 10th..let’s save mother earth.. :-)

kakatuwa ang mga comments..

Mahal nga ang registration fee..sana naman worth it ang run..

@ordianaryongtao –> ano ng napagisipan mo?

i’m planning on joining this one…..first fun run if ever….but gee walang gsto sumama sa akin…. :( i really want to go….

I’ll sign up this week…decided na ko…kahit wala kasama go pa din ako. i’m running for no one but me and mother earth :) see you guys on april 10! goodluck to me…. :)

Kung namamahalan kayo, wag sumali. yun lang yun. Dami pa reklamo :) Di naman nga kayo pinipilit na sumali magrerekla-reklamo pa kayo. Gumawa kayo ng sarili niyong takbo, yun libre! kung ayaw niyo sumali.

@voltron

@sweetickle: wala pong bandana sa 10k category. I dunno kung sa other categories kung meron…naka resib ka ba?

@voltron wala pa package ko hehe…..i just asked kasi i noticed last year ata meron….thanks for the info ^_^

Ginagatasan na yata talaga tayong mga runners, imagine 1k++ ng registration ngaun for 21k. Sa sobrang mahal na ng registration dumarami tuloy ang nag kaka-interest na mag patakbo.

Just my two cents’ worth: it’s up to the person if he/she would like to shell out money, no matter how big or small the amount, for a run, no matter the distance, and no matter the objective of either the run organizers or the person who’s signing up.

If you are a runner, you run because it’s sheer bliss, it helps you in whatever way possible, and because it’s your choice. Joining fun runs or races would just be opportunities to be with other runners.

As to the relevance of my comment to this forum, I’m just disappointed by some of the people’s posts. I don’t think you ought to just diss other people, may it be the race organizers or other runners, or critique events/opportunities just because you THINK you are shortchanged or whatever. It may be so because you allow yourself to believe you are shortchanged, to say the least.

If you are a runner, you run – wherever you want to, whenever you want to, for whatever cost or causes. The medal, trophy, beads of sweat, singlets, shirts, and aching muscles thereafter will just be bonuses. If you are signing up for runs only for these material things, then I believe you’re missing the point of being a runner.

2 cents. and then some.

@EVERYONE: may libre naman na takbo doon sa tinatakbuhan ko kung di ako sumasali sa ano mang fun-run events…am talking about UP Diliman. Every sunday marami tumatakbo dun. Try nyo. hehehe…libre yun. Pag wala akong budget eh dun ako tumatakbo at least may option ako. hehehe…opinion ko lang.

@leigh “If you are a runner, you run because it’s sheer bliss, it helps you in whatever way possible, and because it’s your choice. Joining fun runs or races would just be opportunities to be with other runners.” I couldn’t agree more…..

it’s sheer bliss :)

follow up po! i registered last sat by on line 21k categ, di ko pa receive race kit ko akala ko po ba 5 days lang.

medals for the finishers of 21km…

trophy/medals for the winners plus cash..

I got the tshirt pero bat ganun, ang laki? Umorder ako extra small pero sa t-shirt XL nakalagay. Sa envelop, nakalagay Extra Small (XL)… parang anlabo naman. Diba XL extra large?

@Raul naku kinakabahan naman ako baka kung anung size ipadala sa akin…sana they get the right size or kung hindi man the closest di ba? XS to XL :(

Ei… isang series na malupit na questions lang:
1. Do you think kakayanin ko ang 10k since 1st time ko tumakbo?
2. May medics kayang naka-standby?
3. marami kayang friendly runners? solo lang kasi ako eh… baka magmukha naman akong timang dun pagdating ko…
4. Sa mga first timer na 10k, isabit nyo nga ako sa group nyo during the event para mas ok.. please… Thanks

I just noticed… ang daming demand nang iba about sa freebies or kit included… Kulang na lang they demand for crown and scepter… LOL

Meron ba pa bang slots for 10k and 21k?

@ darryl in response to post # 96
1. kaya mo yan, just maintain a constant “kwento” speed, yung kaya mong makipagtsikahan sa katabi mo. make sure you get enough sleep (sometimes, excited kaya di makatulog the night before), eat at least 2 hrs before your run.
2. yes, may medics yan at sangkaterbang marshal, part of the fees that you pay goes to LGUs for the marshal and the medics.
3. maraming friendly runners kahit saan :) meron ding mga makulet. just enjoy every moment.

Good luck and happy running!

@ Darryl:

1. Do you think kakayanin ko ang 10k since 1st time ko tumakbo? *** Depende. If you’re fit or not. Ako kase I go to the gym at least 3x per week…and I do treadmill running and jogging usually 5k. When I first joined Adidas KOTR last year 10k agad ako and ok naman yung takbo ko. So depende talaga…Pinaghahandaan kase yan. Mag start ka muna sa 3k then 5k then patas ng pataas…
2. May medics kayang naka-standby? ***Meron naman parati.
3. marami kayang friendly runners? solo lang kasi ako eh… baka magmukha naman akong timang dun pagdating ko… *** I’m a solo runner…I go their to run and to help the beneficiaries of the event I joined in. Kahit ngayun ako parin mag-isa tumatakbo kasama ko IPOD ko. =)
4. Sa mga first timer na 10k, isabit nyo nga ako sa group nyo during the event para mas ok.. please… Thanks….***I hope may mahanap kang mga grupo. Marami rin diyan. Goodluck sa fun-run!
