- Race Report: California International Marathon 2011
The Califonia International Marathon is a point to point, net downhill race. It starts at Folsom Dam, a 20-minute ride from Sacramento and ends at the finish line at California State Capitol in Sacramento. The course offers gentle rolling hills which allows for fast times and, subsequently, a high number of Boston qualifiers. No wonder [...]
- California International Marathon 2011 – Done!
Just finished the California International Marathon in Sacramento! WOW. This was one fast course that made for a marathon that was one of the most enjoyable, hassle-free, and fun courses I have ever run. Highly recommended! Here’s a photo of fellow Pinoy runners and I at Capitol Park where the race ended. Everyone was happy [...]
- adidas King of the Road 2011
Before the recent running boom, adidas King of the Road was once one of the few most anticipated races in Manila. It was a must run race because it stood out as one of the bigger, more organized events in Bonifacio Global City unlike the smaller races in Roxas Blvd. at that time. With bigger, [...]
- Rain and Earth Run
[27 Aug 2011, Saturday | 4 am] I woke up to hear the wind howling and the rain hitting our rooftop. While bad weather never stopped our run group from doing our long runs, this Saturday was different. Most, if not all of us, had been sick, were sick, or were going to get sick [...]

Spotted there were active families and friends… – [...]

Organized by Runrio, the NBA Fit Run was another well-organized race event where everything from the course to marshals and hydration stations were provided. This was definitely a [...]
- Sun Fun Run
The sun was covered by clouds today, but it was bright and happy at Sun Cell’s Fun Run at Bonifacio Global City this morning. With the huge set up, the Sun Fun Run looked like a major race that was just as well-organized (or even better) than other public races, but this was actually a corporate [...]
- Pinoys Beat Monks to the Finish at Laguna Phuket International Marathon
I heard Laguna Phuket International Marathon was a huge success. I’m still pounding my head against the wall for getting injured weeks before the race, but hey there’s no point in crying over spilled milk, or in this case, a missed international 42k race in paradise which my legs were absolutely ready for…tsk tsk. Overcast [...]
