There was a scarce of water and powerade before edsa fly over up to the hydration stations along roxas blvd for the 42 k runners.
…i did not get the finisher’s shirt size that i registered. I can’t understand why they ran out shirt sizes even though it was clearly indicated in my registration form. This also happened to me in RU3…
Uy First…
Nice run…
Did my 1st Marathon and sub-5 not bad na siguro for 1st timer like me…
Wow sub-5. That’s my goal for this year. My last chance on Dec 2 sa CDO. Congrats on your first marathon.
Congrats Sir Arnie and Sir Jinoe! 😀
Been running with runrio as organizer…but i think this is the worst event ive ever experienced. Imagine running a full marathon without enough hydration stations providing water and powerade. The entire length of Buendia with not have enough supply of water and energy drink that I and some runners have to climb a fence just to buy water and gatorade from 7-11. Why did it happen??? Explain please Coach Rio…
Apart from this, last Run United 3, i got frustrated because I wasnt able to get my finisher’s shirt (I dont have time queuing just to register my name and have it delievered at home) but i shove that frustration off because Ive got my medal and that was the most important to me…But then again, This time the RUPM event, i got frustrated again…when i saw people queuing for the loyalty shirt..i didnt know they (runrio)were going to give out something like that and that on-line registration was needed…arghhh!!! After ive done registering for i event, i didnt bother to check the site for any update.
di ako madalas mag online sa fb. buti na lng nung magbukas ako nakita ko agad nung mag review ako sa news feed. ilang days na lng bago matapos mag online registration
a friend suggested that i should wear my hydration belt during the RUPM race, i told him that since its runrio whose the organizer there’s no need for me to do that….i should have heed my friends advice. you can just imagine running a marathon and 3 consecutive hydration stations with nothing to drink on!!!one of the worst race ever..tsk tsk tsk.
First timer of 42k here…
Mejo kulang nga yung hydration nila along Roxas Boulevard, naubos na siguro ng mga nag 21k, sana naanticipate yun ng tiga RUNRIO, kawawa kmeng mga nag 42k, yung iba need pang bumili ng napakamahal na tubig sa mga sidewalk vendor (ok na rin kesa madehydrate), sana nireplenish agad nila ung stock kahit ung water lang lalo na alam nilang may mga runners pang dadaan dun. Yung saging naman effort balatan dahil hilaw na hilaw pa, hahaha. Regarding finisher shirt, ang pangit ng quality nya compared to RU 3 na shirt, ung tatak parang ilang labahan lang magwawashout kagad, tapos ang laki ng size compare sa mga naunang RU. Ang ayos lang talaga d2 ung route eh, kilometer marker, mga marshall at enforcer na tumulong para maging safe ung mga runners na natakbo, kahit na may isang nasagasaan along chino roces, ng humaharurot na 2 ABNORMAL na INDIAN national na pinasok yung sasakyan nila sa runners lane, ayun may nadisgrasya, sana ok lang yung runnner na yun, at buti nahabol ng Makati enforcer yung dalawang Indian na yun.
Overall ang rate ko dito sa event na to is 6/10, more improvement pa sana, pero alam ko eto na yung laging daing ng mga runnners sa mga past event ni Coach Rio pero till now dpa rin nila nagagawan ng aksyon, ok ung may red carpet sa finish line pero sana mula starting line pa lang eh ayusin na nila ung mga dapat ayusin. Yun lang poh and sana next year ok na to, lalo na panigurado tataas naman ang registration fee nito. 🙂
Congrats also to you brad!
Kahit wala ka training for 42K you still managed to finish it strong without injury.
I salute you!
Happy Running… =)
Takbo-takbo lang… (“,)
Thanks Bro! May nararamdaman na ko sa left ankle ko after ng 32k kaya nilakad ko na lang ung last 10k or nagjojog minsan pag nararamdaman kong kaya pa, ayoko na kasing ipilit pa kesa lalong mainjured, anyways may Midnight Run pa tayo sa Wednesday, hahaha… 🙂
congrats bro daniel and bro arnie!
we at Running Buddies are very proud of you 🙂
cheers! 🙂
i got cramped thighs at 35k, I’m planning to finish it a sub 4 but failed to do so and reached it at 4 and 34 mins coz I have to drag myself then run again basis. kulang sa practice!hehe pero great run guys! yun nga lang if ill rate this race compared to previous legs, medyo mababa kulang sa h2o.
yes guys tama kayo na short sa supply ng water/powerade along roxas blvd….but the worst thing i experienced was the banana station along buendia-pasay….naubos na yun supply ng saging sa table pero may nakita akong mga saging sa bag ng mga volunteers…..hay naku!
hay nako.. RUPM is my 3rd Marathon.. but this event is traumatic!!
ang lala ng runrio.. kulang sa tubig at powerade!!
tpos makikita mo pa ang mga refillers na kumakain!! DAMN.. sana imotivate nlng muna kaming 42k runners bago sila kumain.. so many hydration stations ang walang silbi.. grabe talaga.. kaya madami ang nag cramps.. IMPROVEMENTS nman oh.. RUNRIO gising!!
Walang Tubiggggggg!!!!!!,advise magdala ng pera para makabili ng mahal na 2big sa mga convenient stores(he he he), Red carpet? more likely a very long doormat. pang linis sa paa ng mga barefoot runners. Naubusan ng size sa finisher shirt small to large ok na sana kung medium. anyway this is my first FM and it is very memorable
Congrats to all 42k finishers! That to me is still a dream!
Nyways,I had a great first 21k run during the rupm (also my first with run united)! I did not encounter the chaotic hydration stations, since i was in the 21k category, besides i had my own hydration kit. Every station which I passed by was complete with water, powerade (blue and orange flavors), banana, cold sponge. Km markers were also sufficient, but were conservative compared with my Nike+ gps which gave me a total of 25k reading instead (guess I have to recalibrate it). Will still have to confirm with the official time, but i crossed the finish line at 2:25:00. This means i need to earn more mileage for better PR before i can level up! Finishers kit booth was also a breeze, walang pila at all.
Overall, rupm was a great experience!
Congrats to all 42k finishers!!
Same here, Masaya ang Event na ito for me! And its my first time to run 21k! Masaya at maganda mula sa pagtakbo hanggang sa dulo, Walang pila, maraming tubig, hinog ang mga saging kaya nakaka inspire tumakbo ng 42K.
Kaya lang nabasa ko yung mga comment ng iba! Sa tutuo akala ko puro magagandang ang makikita kong comment dito sa RUNRIO!
Kasi napansin ko rin yung location GUNSTART natin wala man lang Map kung saan sa Global City kaya ang DAMI naming na late kahahanap ng site lalo pa’t konte rin ang kabisado ang Global city Basta’t binigay nalang yung libs & singlet sa isang brown envelop!
Ang sama ng simula ko more than 30min late ako nagsimula kaya 2:48;32 nasa finish line but I’m still happy and Inspired to run 42k However if I run 42k siguro ibang event na lang yung subok nang mas organized
para sakin ok pa rin. this is the first time na naubusan ng hydration. since 2010 im joining to run at runrio . im 21k and 32 k. this is my first time na full marathon. well sa mga kapwa ko runners mahirap sa situation natin ang ganitong experience. but kailangan din natin unawain ang organizer. hope lahat ng pagkukulang na ito ay masulusyunan ni coach rio.
para s akin mejo nagkulang nga dun sa part along buendia ng hydration,naubos ata ng 21k,sabi nga nla chrge to xpernce nlng yun,over all 85 lng rate ko, kc hndi ako nkakuha ng umbrella he he,sayang.tsaka may mga nagrereklamo s fnshers shirt about s sizes n nkuha nla,dpat bilng nila ang mga sizes ng nagregister,naka record nman yun kung ilan ang runners lahat,bkit mauubusan diba,yun lng..
congrats sa mga naka pag 42k. next year, target ko yan hehe re: hydration, ubos nga lalo na sa roxas boulevard. is it possible din na since may rowing event na kasabay (and madaming tao sa area), marami ang nanghingi sa mga yon? frustrating sobra. have to agree, of the three runrio races na nag participate ako, ito ang hindi ako nag enjoy.
this is my 1st full marathon since starting from 5k two years ago… elevating my race category every now and then… then, last year i had my 21k race at camsur… travelled alone just to fulfill that… and now, the 42k!… it was a great experience indeed… but i have to practice more to get in sub-4 or sub-3… dati pinangarap ko lang… hindi ko inakala na mangyayari pala in 2 yrs time… overwhelmed lang cguro ako kaya hindi ko na naramdaman or hindi ko na napansin yung scarcity ng water, powerade or banana along the route… nalaman ko na lang nung maraming nagrereklamo… hehe!… great run with you guys!… 🙂
@Sir Arnie Thanks sa program last time, finish my 1st Barefoot HM, sub 3 🙂
No problem, basta makatulong lang sa kapwa runner…
Takbo-takbo lang… (“,)
everyone should learn from past experiences, not only the organizers but also the runners. always be prepared, for your own sake din yun. i always bring even a single water bottle even if 5km or 10km lang yun. di mo masabi when a problem might arise on organizers part (planning or inaccurate supply), weather (very bad weather in Ateneo run) or runners themselves (getting more than what they need).. let’s all just hope that improvements will continue, its for everyone’s sake and love for running! 🙂
Up until now the official race results are not available. I posted on United Health’s FB page but as expected, no reply whatsoever. Gives me the impression that the race organizer is not much interested in hearing out runners’ sentiments since the race is over. It’s a total bummer IMHO because I think this won’t be the first and last Philippine Marathon so the least they could do is to take time and listen to what we have to say. Don’t get me wrong, I was happy to get a PR for half-marathon especially I got it in my home turf. I didn’t encounter problems in terms of water stops and queue but sadly, the novelty wears off once I heard that full-marathon runners were left with no hydration during the last 7km or so where people tend to hit the wall! The organizers (which I assume are pioneers in this field) should’ve foreseen and prepared for such problems. I also felt sorry when I saw the long queue of tired runners under the unforgiving sun just to get their finisher tees. Also, rather than giving unreasonably huge finisher medals the organizers could’ve reduced its cost and use the rest of the money to provide runners with bigger bottles of water after the race instead of a pitiful tiny one that I finished in 3 gulps. Just my two-cents worth.
i didn’t get my my size SMALL 21K FINISHERS shirt, I got large instead. I tried wearing it coz I wanna be proud..!!!!!…
KASO PARANG, SA KUYA KO YUNG FINISHER’S SHIRT EH..! SO LOUSY..HAHAHA!!!…TUMAWA..!!!
happy pa rin naman. Hope they will do something about this next time.. Cause we want to look good in wearing this PRESTIGIOUS SHIRT…You can’t buy this shirt anywhere, you have to make full effort on this..
Nice event..I only ran the 5K but my observation is this… For the runners: after drinking they just throw their cups anywhere even there’s a big trash provided. Also difficulty accessing the race result… where can we see them.Thanks.
Sana next time wag na lang tawagin na Philippine Marathon. Nakakahiya sa mga runners lalo na sa tumakbo ng 42k. Philippine Marathon na walang hydration. Unilab Marathon na lang or RUNRIO Marathon. Delikado lalo na sa 42k ang walang hydration.
RACE RESULT WALA PB?
” I second the motion from riddick “
how come some bandit runners was able to get a FINISHER SHIRTS?
The run was generally organized, except for insufficient water and powerade supply. Runrio should have anticipated the need of runners to rehydrate at every water station. 2200 ang full marathoners! Buti nalang ako, ng rehydrate ng husto bago maubusan ng tubig sa Buendia Ave. I didn’t wear my hydration belt. Overall, I enjoyed it. Finished the race at 4:36- quite satisfactory for a second full marathon. Better than my finish in KL Standard Charter.
WLA P PBA RESULT…
Good run and race route for 42k.. maybe in the future they can start earlier …why? because the heat of the sun starting from 7:30 onwards (for those that ran the 42k) is no joke… and I agree with the rest about the hydration stations, that was pivotal for the runners, having no water is a mortal sin. Other than that, the route was okay.
ang results cguro paka undas nlang tagal eh..
kulang tlga sa tubig i run 42k sa subrang init powerade nlang ang pinang bhos ku sa katawan yun malagkit na pag dating ng finish line…
justa feedback to the organizer: pls take note of the shirt size the moment the runner registers kasi nakakapikon when you are given a large finisher tshirt when supposedly you have an xs size..we are suppose to be the proud wearer of the shirt but it ends up…pasalubong sa driver namin…nakakainis!
Hydration problem encountered by 42K runners. Kulang din sa KM marker para sa mga 21K ang dami naman sa 42K runner. Freebies and sponsor eh ginawang NEGOSYO ng ConZace at Dolfenal tsk tsk , pati ibang minor sponsors may bayad na din , yung ADIDAS naman early cut-off naman ang ginagawa nyan lagi during running sa Adidas Event, RU3 at RUPM. LAck of Photobooth compares sa RU3. Pero ang medal super laki ayus na ayus na. Yung bag tamang tamang sa Elementary student. Medix I proud of you, your a big help sa runners like me na nag cramps na sa Finisher Line pa.
Sana next tym magkarun ng free flowing of water katulan ng ginawa ng greencentenial sa Nuvali na ginamit ang mga host ng bombero sa isang portion ng run para ma refresh ang mga runners.
My grade is 5/10 since madaming comment at improvement , pero an tagal na nila jan sa ganyang event pumapalpak pa …..
sir/maam tanong klng po yung 9.94 at 14.94 na check point po ba eh san naka base sa chiptime po ba oh sa guntime???
My race bib number is 2167 (for 42.195 kms)… What happened to your timing system? I could NOT SEE my name and race bib in the result that you posted. I arrived at finished line clocking 4:05:18 seconds… please explain what happened…
where did you see the results?
sana ipadala na lang ni coach rio yung loyalty shirt na dapat nakuha sa finishline…sayang naman. aanhin naman nila yung mga unclaimed loyalty shirt????
sana ipadala na lang ng runrio yung loyalty shirt….aanhin naman nila yung unclaimed loyalty shirt? i wasnt able to get mine.
@allan de lima. Sir just keep on complaining sa RUNRIO eventually mag magic sila and your name will appear sa results. Personal experience namin yan nung barkada ko. Just give them you bib number and time. Try mo sabihin 3:05 time mo malamang yun pa ilagay nila just to prove na minamajic ang results. Tsk tsk..
GRABE WALA WATER ENERGY DRINK ALONG BUENDIA TAPOS PASA PASA PAG KUHA NG LOYALTY TSHIRT PAHIRAP S MGA RUNNERS… GRRR…
