The adidas KOTR was the run that got my wife and I started into running. I love the singlet design and the running clinics and Running Expo they held before the event.

This year, the King of the Road will happen on October 24, 2010 and once again, at the Fort Bonifacio Global City. This time, the fee for all events (5k, 10k and 21k) is Php850. That’s a big jump from last year’s Php500 which was already high at that time. Will it entice more runners? What it will do is make it more exclusive especially for 5k runners.

So what else can you get for the Php850 registration fee?

Side activities and mini events during the race include foot scans, an adidas photo wall, massage and stretching areas, adidas sale and mini programs and concert and also a BUFFET BREAKFAST! Now how will they organize that? Thousands of hungry runners lining up at the buffet table? Good luck!

I hope they will give big discounts for participants on adidas products. Last year I was able to get 50% off on my customized adidas shoes.

Here’s the black singlet design for KOTR 2010:

Included in your race kit is a timing chip, the race bib, a reflective slap strap, race routes/maps and a timing band.

It’s still expensive but I’m still willing to run the KOTR race. I think it’s still one of the premiere runs in the country… despite the unhappy 5k runners last year. Hehehe.
