Link should be http://run.redcross.org.ph/
I remember after a run, I was suddenly attacked by cramps, I decided to painfully walk on a red cross booth, I was calling them asking for help/ assistance. Nagchichikahan lang yung mga tao sa booth. Took me 5 mins to grab their attention.
Sorry guys, I lost my trust.
Maka-1million kya sila nyan?. … Ang mahal naman… Kala ko free run nung time na nila-launch nila yan…:(
sobrang mahal…grabe! red cross ba yan?
kung fundraising toh panu sila makakalikom ng pondo eh ang mahal mahal ng registration fee… at wala pang finsher’s kit… hay naku di ko muna sasalihan ang event na toh di pangmasa
kayo kayo na lang tumakbo jan hehehe
Ok sana for a good cause kase. Kaya lang masyado atang minadali ito at di inaral maigi ng organizers. Unang una ang mahal sa halagang 1K (mala Condura marathon ang reg. fee pero 10K lang) at ang daming kasabay na race sa araw ng Dec. 04. At lahat ang tanung anu ba ang singlet design kung meron? Me finishers kit ba to? Dapat kuha sila ng ka tieup dito at babaan ang reg. fee. Talo kayo ni Run for the Pasig River. Aralin nyo sana.
Tama ka Brother. sana organizer nyo may alam sa running at runners marketing. kaya pare robert correct ka at tama ka.
super mahal ang reg fee…last year nagkagulo sa baggage counter at suplado pa ang nagbabantay,ngek! pero kung mababa ang reg fee join uli ako dahil for a good cause naman..
gusto ko sna magparticipate kasi maganda ang magbebenefit kaya lang sobrang mahal..how sad..
GRABE!!! ang MAHAL!!! sa 1k ano ang makukuha ng runners? Wala? wala rin sasali. sinong sasaling masa? kung fund raising sana babaan nyo. isipin nyo maraming mahihirap sa pinas kaysa rich. 1k reg. walang freebies like singlet, Finisher medal at lootbag. Sino sasali eh di WALA!!!!
benta ko kaya dugo ko sa kanila tapos saka ipang-reg hihihi
siguro pag nag register at finisher ka siguro pag ikaw mismo need ng dugo priority ka ng red cross. ganun siguro.
baka naman mali yung amount php100.00non student php50.00 pag student.
tsk tsk tsk…puro negative feedback. Di ako run dito kahit kaya ko magbayad ng 1K… puro batikos ang inabot ng organizer nito…waaaaaaaaaaaa
Magbebenta muna ako ng dugo sa Bangbang sa Sta. Cruz bago ako tumakbo dito.. para me pang reg. fee ako.. ang mahal eh.. =)
dugo raw kasi ang inooffer sa hydration stations 🙂
Kaya pala mahal ang registration…type AA ang dugo sa hydration station ! wow bagay kay Count Dracula at dapat 8pm para hinde masikatan ng araw si count D.
maiba tayo pips, can you suggest some running watch with a budget range na 3 to 4thousand lang? thanks
Post a thread in the forum. You’ll surely get an answer there.
soleus… 4 to 5 may runnin watch ka na watch out dun sa latest nila..
Yea i agree with the others, this run is for a good cause, but then its freakin expensive, i wanted to be a red cross volunteer, but not at this moment because im still workin perhaps next year though.
saka yung 1k? wala bang race kits to? saka kasamang singlet and stop watch? okay lang kung maganda yung freebies, kasi kung well compensated naman diba, tinalo pa neto ang king of the road ha.. Goodjob… di masyadong organize tong event na to…
grabeng mahal niyan, in fairness sa runrio, kahit di na ako basta sumasali sa mga patakbo ni rio,alam ko naman na maayos ang kahihinatnan.dito parang pera pera na lang ang usapan.wala bang taga Red cross na magtatanggol o magju-justify ng presyo ng patakbo nila? sino nga pala ang kinuha ng red cross na race organizer o race director nito?
ano kaya ruta nito? baka magpangabot ito at yung animo..
Paging red cross….. Pakisagot nyo po yung mga feedback baka magbago pa isip nila. Else dadami pa negative comments dito. Tnx po.
mahal ito.
upon seeing Red Cross, i was encouraged ‘coz I know it’s for a cause. When I saw that registration fee is P1000, I thought it was a scam. Ano, daig pa ang Nike at Adidas Run? “BIGGEST RUN EVER STAGED IN OUR HISTORY” pala ha? sige, tignan natin.. I bet mangyayari lang ‘yan kung FREE ang fun run nyo.
i sense this event will be a flop. 1k for reg fee is too steep. to the Organizers, what makes you say that you can stage the biggest running event. I doubt if a million runners will be willing to pay 1k for reg fee. this just wont work.
Just saw this info on number 5 of (http://run.redcross.org.ph/register.php) Atleast may idea tayo ano laman ng race kit, ang tanong ano itsura ng singlet?
Is there a medal for the 10k finisher’s?
Dapat meron kasi sa subrang mahal naman, like me regular runner ako, every week i joined run. Pinipili ko rin ang sinasalihan ko dapat worth naman ang pagkakagagastusan po, sana po meron medal for the 10k finisher’s…
I think we are paying for the red cross 143 card.???? Ano un.? Ang mahal kasi ee
Goodluck nalang sa Org ng Red Cross kasi nagpa register na ako sa (th Animo Run,ang bagal ninyo mag decide kung tama ba ang 1k na registration o nagkamali lang kayo?Card nalang kukunin ko sa Red Cross 100pes laang he3…dami pa benefits maavail
4 d nfo of Red Cross Org….anim po kami nagparegistered last year!
grvy nman ang mahal…i donate nalang yon dugo ko. para makasali ako jan….pwde …kami dalawa ng kasama ko….thanks poh….
NAKU! SUPER MAHAL! 1,000PHP. YONG RACE DETAILS NYO DI KUMPLETO. KASABAYAN NYO PA ANIMO AT QC INTL MARATHON. PAANO KAYO MAKLIKOM NG 1M. MAHAL NA INCOMPLETE PA RACE INFO NYO. ANO MAKUKUHA NG MGA RUNNERS LIKE FINISHER MEDAL, SINGLET, FREEBIES AND OTHERS. WALA MARKETING STRATEGY ANG ORGANIZER. WAKE-UP! BAKA LALANGAWIN ANG RACE NA TO. CHANGE YOUR RACE INFO FOR A MORE MARKETABLE TO RUNNERS.

Over naman sa reg fee yan gusto ko sna sumali kso prang ndi makatarungan sa mahal 🙁
Napaka mahal naman nito!
merong discounted price sa groupon beeconomics. 500 pesos na lang xa. 20hrs remaining na lang yung deal. ngayon ko lang nakita
Groupon is indeed still offering this run at 50% off. Here is the link:
http://bit.ly/PRCrun
too expensive…. maganda ang goal kya lng hindi practical…. if u really wanted to have a million runners, u should have lowered the reg fee…. u may also promote medals for finishers who finished this race especially ur long distances or the top 100 finishers… sorry to tell you but i think this will not achieve your goal… Modification s are really needed here… bye..
talagang papalpak yan pano si gordon kasi nasusunod..million volunteers huh..baka melon volunteers hehe! sobrang mahal, walang race bib at shirt lang..pano makatakbo maayos nun! sayang lang pera ng mga magsponsor dito..mapunta lang sa bulsa ni alam nyo na!
super mhal nman..
Wala akong nabasang ni isang good review para sa run na ito.
ok sana kaya lang mahal
mahal…
QCIM ako…
Thank you for all your comments. The Million Volunteer Run is a fundraising endeavor of the Philippine Red Cross. As you’ve noticed in past disasters, the Red Cross has always been there, alleviating suffering of the most vulnerable Filipinos wherever, whenever. The funds raised in this nationwide event shall enable the Red Cross to enhance their services and equip the communities through disaster preparedness. In the past 20 years, the Philippines has suffered 363 natural disasters, which has affected the lives of 116 million Filipinos. Through the Red Cross 143 Program, we want to prepare the entire nation for disasters by having Red Cross trained volunteers in every home, every business, every school and every community throughout the archipelago. This is what the Million Volunteer Run is about. It is a run for the most vulnerable Filipinos. It is a run for humanity. It is a run with the purpose of saving lives. This is the cause. Now IF YOU BELIEVE IN THIS CAUSE, THEN YOU SHOULD JOIN THE RUN.
Gusto ko magdonaate ng Dugo… How?
well said Fund Generation, maybe you should market it another way. Another demographic or market segment perhaps. not for runners. it takes a clear understanding of the runner’s psyche to organize an event with such a lofty goal. It usually starts with a tangible promise that the participants will receive for this event. As a newbie runner, a clear and detailed event is a reassurance that it will be a success, how much more for the seasoned runners? Good luck
Yes I agree with Winston comment, The Fund raising purpose has a good cause and noble one. The runners are not the good market to gain funds. Seasoned runners, employees, students and others. only less than 10 percent of this are rich people. your marketing strategy did not attract runners to join the race as shown in the comments of mostly runners who run seriously and picking races which they returned their money for good races with good freebies.like finisher medals cost 50 pesos, singlet 60 pesos (in Volume) and other attractive freebies. The Run sa Ilog Pasig attain Million with Php 250.00 registration without freebies. with full force advocacy campaign and year round advertisement fm media outfit. SUGGESTIONS: IF YOU DONT CHANGE YOUR MARKETING STRATEGY, THE RACE MIGHT NOT BE SUCCESSFUL. in my 37 years in running with personal best 2: 23.24 in 42k, SFO Marathon,USA.
2:23.24 marathon? ikaw na, ikaw na ang mabilis!
IM OLD BUT IF YOU WANNA RACE.? LET’S GET IT ON! ANYTIME! RODRUNNER!
amen to winston and rodrunner!
Thank God I have not yet registered sa QCIM. It started with considering joining Animo, then QCIM. Hayyy, ang hirap talaga mamili ngayon ng races to join…daming good choices eh!
I think sometimes we should go beyond where the P 1,000 fee would take “ME as a runner.” The proceeds will go to Red Cross volunteers. They will be trained how to respond in disasters. They will be taught how to do first aid. P1,000 is going to go a long way. Disasters will come in the worst way possible in the coming years; we need volunteers to do first aid and be blood donors.
It’s true, if you believe in the cause, then run here. If not, every one may choose another event. 🙂
Yup, I totally agreed sa mga comments nyo dito mga runners, most of all, mahal talaga.. kung mga 600 php sana ok na, den second runners look for the singlet kung okay., then the kit.,.and lastly dami kasabay na good event like qcim and animo run na much cheaper,,. sana next time double effort on the strategy,. kasi honestly mahihirapan tlga tong event na ito..
It is not yet clear as to now what the race distances are. The registration I filled up specifically indicates that it is a 5K event but other sources such as this one (takbo.ph)inform that there is a choice among 3K/5k/10k – so which is which? Another unclear item is the race route. I find it odd that the Makati leg will start at the corner of Pasong Tamo and Buendia and ends in MOA. I’m just wondering where to check-in the bags and to retrieve it later if that is indeed the route.
aq rin ko magdodonate na lang ulit ako ng dugo…kaysa 1000 registraion nyo ^_^
hindi nmn yata tama ang 1000 halaga ng registration nyo….
wow!with an international statement to make… ang mahal ng registration parang yung organizer hindi pinagisipan ang event na ito:-)
kaya naman pala mahal… endorser sina marian rivera, paolo bediones, diana menezes, pia guianio, julia clarete, izza calzado, jimmy santos, joey de leon, etc.
Hello! im working in a big university here in manila. when i register, do i consider in student Fee P500.?
sa pinoy fitness site updated na to”,
ang mahal…… magdodonate n lang po ako… =))
ang mahal, akala ko b red cross mura,tatakbo n lang ako sa 9th animo run.ok sana para makatulong kaso d pang masa ang presyo…..
binago na price nito… 500 na lng i think…
binago na nga reg fee pero its too late na lapit na ng event, and di rin clear kung ano makuha ng mga finisher,
nakita ko na ung singlet, paregister sana ako kaya lang nang makita ko singlet mumurahin na tshirt lang, magdodonate nalang ako ng dugo
kung P500 na lang… paano yung mga nagbayad ng P1000 dati? (kung meron man)
ang mahal nmn po ng Reg.Fee. isa pa bakit po ganun ng fill-up thru Net bat may babayaran pa ulet na 125.00 para san nmn po yun?.. so ang total na babayara ko is Php 1,125.00 wow.. araguy sa bulsa.. heheh.. Sayang na convincing pa nmn ang commercial.. hehehe kaso parang di ganung ka OK,, kulang pa sa mga details..(Singlet,ano kung ano pa mga freebies) . ^_^ .. wag na lang..
..Sayang convincing pa nmn ang commercial**
It’s a run to be a volunteer. I have seen the Red Cross work. Its not your run-of-the-mill government agency. This is where you truly can makea difference wothout being a rich person. The fee is secondary but it sure could help. Walang kikita dito. It’s all going to the coffers of Red Cross.
Registered already for this running event… I have witnessed how the Philippine National Red Cross responded tediously and painstakingly…and sometimes “buwis buhay mode” during fortuitous and hazardous conditions .. Thier dedication and commitment is seemingly immeasurable… Through this events.. We somehow show are gratitude to the men and women behind red cross… Kitakits on sunday! Run happy and proud! 🙂
wala bang race details like what time magsisimula yung race? yung race map, ako pa ang gumawa ng paraan para magkaroon. nakakadala, di organized, i paid already pero parang bahala ka na sa buhay mo after paying.
I agree na mahal and it could have been marketted differently. BUT NOW THAT YOU KNOW THE CAUSE, are you not going to run? This is not a run for PR, or wellness, or extras. It is a run to share the goodness of our heart and be volunteers in the future. Matagal ko ng gustong maging volunteer, extra lang itong run. Gusto mo libre? Takbo sa tabi-tabi. Gusto mo freebies? Well get into the other paid races. You can’t afford the fee but willing to donate blood or whatever you can? Go to Red Cross then. But you want to see your fellow volunteers whom you will be working with in the future, shell out the P1000 and be done with it.
We registered for Php 500.. We asked the red cross volunteer staffers for some details (we are running at the makati, pasong tamo starting line).. I would like to share the infos;
: assembly time is at 5:00am
: 6:00am gun start
: no bagage counters for participants (go lite)
: makati,manila,paranaque starting lines will eventually converge at MOA
Kitakits.. Run happy and proud! 🙂

mag donate na lang ako ng blood,,just to help in my own little way..next time na lang ako tatakbo pag mura na..
rant all you want, but the bottom line is this: if you find this run too cost-prohibitive, then by all means don’t register and don’t run. a free country that encourages free speech should also have citizens that have enough common sense to see for themselves that nobody forces anyone to join anything that they find against their free will. so there!
yes but to destroy other running events because of this dumb run is FAIL
Screw Red Cross!
The run was indeed successful but disorganized, successful because many joined but the event itself was magulo and 1 hour late! I just realized that u should have donated blood instead of joining the run, I’ve been running for some time but this event was nakakairita, because of the late start and some pasaway participants (mostly students) who does not follow intructions, and also some of their invited celebrities were also late. If there will be another similar event next year please hire an organizer, it would be worth the fee that you will be charging us.
saan po pede mag register dito sa manila
