Takbo.ph Runfest is one of the races that I always look forward to each year for sentimental reasons. I always think of it as Takbo.ph “pioneer” group’s annual reunion, back from the days when race registration cost ₱250 and a big race does not exceed thousand runners.

Exploring Porac with Explorac
When you least expect it, a race comes along that would just give you a weekend you won’t soon forget. Such is the case of AyalaLand’s EXPLORAC: an invitational trail run which was unexpectedly free!

Mornings with Active Health (Behind the Scenes of 2013 Run United 2 Launch)
I seldom do blog posts about event launches (since my intention is to focus on the event itself, not the launch) but every so often an event launch comes along worthy of one, and that “one” being the recent launch of this year’s second leg of Run United. Unlike most event launches which happen on…
