Last night at the Bonifacio Global City the first ever Kenny’s Open ’09 Urbanite Run was held, organized by Finishline.ph. It was one of only a handful night races to be held and it was well attended by thousands of runners redefining the definition of a Saturday night out (and what a healthy night out…

Yet Another Round of Road Trip: Ortigas – BHS via EDSA
Last night was supposedly my speed run session at Ultra, but the urge to meet my running buddies got the best of me and just decided to do an easy run. I was also a bit concerned with my calves aching a little (most likely due to the cramps I got from swimming last Sunday)…
Ruined by the Rain, Saved by the Rain: My Wet Weekend
As mentioned in me previous post I was very bored and agitated last Sunday because I wasn’t able to do my early morning long run due to the rain. It was raining at 4:30AM and until 5:30AM there was no sign of it stopping so I had to cancel it. It would be very difficult…
Race Review: Run for Home
Run for Home can be proud to be one of the country’s largest race in terms of attendance with more than 6,000 runners and raising more than a million pesos for charity, according to the race organizers. This was aside from the fact that this race introduced disposable electronic timing chips in the Philippine running…
Race Review: 33rd Milo Marathon Manila Eliminations
Last Sunday showcased how a long-established race could be improved—and Milo did it with flying colors. I am of course referring to the Manila Eliminations leg of the Marathon, now on its 33rd year, still being under the supervision of RACE. These reviews were based from a marathon runner’s perspective so it may differ that…
Botak Paa-tibayan 100K Route
Crazy for an ultramarathon? Botak Paa-Tibayan Takbo 100K to be held on June 28, 2009 would be one of the first road ultramarathon race in the country. The ultra race would have a 100K solo, 100K relay (2x 50K), and a 50K solo category. Here’s the route for the 100K: There are also sub-marathon distances…
Night Run with an Instant EB
Runners could sometimes be too predictable—you’d have some idea where you may find them. Sometimes too predictable that you need not send each other messages to meet—just go where your feet takes you and chances are they are also there. That’s exactly what happened last night at BHS after my usual night run. The Night…
56.6K Weekend: Manila to Tagaytay
It was a very tiring and grueling weekend for me as I faced my first ultramarathon—56.6K. The run started at Km 0 marker across Rizal Monument and ended at the Tagaytay Junction, a little over the Km 56 marker. It was also my first midnight run. I together with my running buddy Sean William started…
Weekend at the Trails of Montalban
It was an interesting weekend for me together with the guys of takbo.ph for our first trail adventure. Rene (JazzRunner) was kind enough to give us a tour of the trails of Montalban and experience firsthand the magnificent sights and breath-taking trails of this wonderful place. This event was also made possible with the help…
Night Run: Ortigas to BHS
It was another rainy run for me last night. Like with my previous night run I had only a few hours to spare so I wasn’t able to be much more creative with my run last night. At first I was a bit worried that the downpour might be too strong to run into but…
My Greenfield City Run Story
Greenfield City was an unknown place to me prior to this run. All I know was that is was in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, and that’s about it, and this run became my introductory. This run was also my first “regular” race outside Metro Manila—it’s usually trail runs that take me out of the city and…
Night Run: Ortigas – McKinley Hill – BHS via C5
Summer in Metro Manila is anything but pleasing for running—it’s hot and humid. Not only do you need to worry about your run you also have to think of protecting yourself from the sun so here comes running extra early, putting on sunblocks, wearing protective clothing like visors or caps, sunglasses, etc. I personally don’t…
