I ran the 21K. There is not enough hydration station on the later part of the race, worse! there is no water at the finish line. The free Vitwater also ran out. I have to go back to my car just to drink water and when I returned, even freebies ran out.. Then later, I saw fellow finishers carrying plastic bag loads of Vitwater.

A very very disappointing race!!! SAYANG BINAYAD NAMIN DITO!

If you ran less than 5km, well I ran more than that! Waaa… There were many martials around but unfortunately they don’t know what they are doing… One of the martial pointed me twice for the the 10km route… Realizing I was in the wrong route (I was also one of the confused runners because of the event in 5km turnpoint), I went back and finished the run for 52min…

yun nga daw sabi. walang naghahandout ng bracelet sa turning point. kaw bahala dumukot dun sa nagkabuhol buhol na yellow bracelets.

sobrang di accurate talaga magiging PR mo dahil maraming bloopers yung organizers. at least ikaw nakumpleto mo ako siguro isa pang good run bago ko masabi kung ready na sa 10k.

no marshalls on the road, tapos may newbie pang sumigaw na walang turning point, lahat na nagsi ikot, well kami sa mga naniwala, then nung medjo malapit na kami sa 26th street, may nakita kaming marshall, ayon we asked kung tama ung route sabi nya tama, and may turning point daw tlga dun eh, since nagka gulo na ung race, eh minabuti na naming bumalik at umikot dun sa pinaka turning point, pinaka dissapointing kung nakarating kayo dun sa turning point, pa iikutin lang kayo literally, tinanong namin ung nagbabantay dun kung may bracelet or anything, sabi nya wala, wala daw binigay sa kanila grrrr!!! nag photo opp na lang kami dun as proof na umikot kami dun.

On our way back, dun sa may hydration area, we saw stocks of YELLOW bracelets, un dapat ung makukuha mo dun sa turning point, pero ung bracelet eh hindi umabot sa taas.. we finished aroung 57 mins something, but the record is irrelevant na rin due to technicallities ng race event organizers.. On the positive note, mukhang I can run na sa 10k hehehe

Giving the extra months for the organizers to prepare this event (pushed out from Oct 11 to Dec 20),..still A VERY DISORGANIZED…. My kids run 5k and got almost lost of race route ….!!! Cars, bikes, other non runners are coming from 4 directions and some almost blocks runners path… it just simply placed the runners in un-safely running condition…. aside from other thigns.. , we did completely enjoy the event since it was very difficult from us to trace our official time and ranks.

Event rating : Disorganized, and I gave the organizer 5points out of 100points. We are
