Races come and go and with the number of races happening in Metro Manila it’s quite difficult for one to stand out. But every once in a while there are those that goes beyond the norm and gives us that extra mile sort of speak. Here are my top five picks of the most interesting races in Metro Manila.
August 17, 2008—five years ago when yours truly got introduced to running, and the rest as they say, is history. And instead of my usual nostalgic thoughts about that milestone, I thought of sharing some information that may be useful to other runners out there. And because it’s my fifth running anniversary, I didn’t just thought of sharing a list of five items I liked—I’m sharing five lists of five items each!
As if running a full marathon wasn’t already draining, last Sunday’s Paris Marathon harvested energy from the 40,000 runners who joined the event, literally!
(From the Press Release) It is all systems go for the premier marathon event in the country, the Condura Skyway Marathon, Run for the Mangroves 2013. The starting line in Filinvest City, Alabang heats up with 14,000 runners on Sunday, February 03, 2013.

The premier marathon event in the country, the Condura Skyway Marathon Run for the Mangroves 2013 goes to the starting line on February 03, 2013 in Filinvest City, Alabang. It will be the curtain-raiser for the new running year of 2013—perfect timing for those who are serious in getting back to form after the long series of holidays and merry-making and for those who finally would like to get off that couch and find the fun and fulfilment in running.
The Run United Trilogy were really meant as training grounds for those aiming to run longer distances, but this year the trilogy went even further by staging their own “holy grail” of running events, forty two kilometers and a hundred ninety five meters of road—a full marathon! And it is to be called the Run United Philippine Marathon.
Running had become the “it” sport in urban centers in the Philippines these past few years with races achieving “world-class” levels, and if I were to pick three amongst the best in the country, the list would look something like this:
See how much we love running here in the Philippines? 🙂
