I joined the 21k run, it was my first time to run this distance, it was supposed to be my 2009 year ender and I expected a lot from the race organizers & sponsors. Well aside from the poor quality singlet, there were no loot bags given to finishers. There wasn't even a certificate given. During the race, the water stations were so far apart that I thought I wouln't be able to finish the 21k, to make things worst, once you reach a station (last 5k or so) there would'nt be any water available because the 3,5 & 10k runner have used up all the water. The funny thing is upon crossing the finish line, very exhausted & all, you will have to line up to get a small bottle of vitaminized water, lineup again to get a sponsor's pen, line up again to get souvenir photos (where you still have to shell out P50.00 despite the fact that the Philstar run ad takes up 1/4 of the space of the picture), line up again to get some peanuts then line up again till you tell yourself that this run really SUCKS! I finished the run with a decent time & was thinking "How about the runners behind me? what are they gonna get? " It was the worst ever "organized run" I've ran!!! Good thing that this run was postponed, can you imagine if it didn't??!!!??? The Philstar celebrity run sucks!!
