Bonifacio Global City: The Metro’s Premiere Running Hot Spot 09 March 2010

Much has been said about the importance of a competent race organizing team, a growing running community, and corporations who are willing to spend millions on our beloved sport in order to latch on to the running craze for whatever purpose it may serve them. These three go hand-in-hand in sustaining the current running boom we are now experiencing. But there is still a missing link to this unbreakable chain. If the race organizer was the chef, this would be the pots and pans where a world-famous dish is made, or the high quality plates onto which the chef presents his award-winning dish.

A Day of Total Wellness, Thanks to Unilab 07 March 2010

With only two weeks to recover, evaluate, and apply all our learnings from the previous event, the pressure was on to correct all mistakes and have another shot at mounting a perfect race at the Unilab Run United for Wellness. From my perspective, a lot of things improved this second time around. First, we placed a cap on the total number of participants at a maximum of 8,000. We felt that we needed to take baby steps and perfect our skills at managing a crowd of this size first before we make another attempt at organizing a race as massive as the previous one.

Thank you Century Tuna Superbods Run 2010! 21 February 2010

To all who supported and graced the Century Tuna Superbods Run 2010,

After four grueling months of painstakingly preparing for this much-awaited race, our dream event has finally come to fruition. Although we acknowledge that it was not as perfect as we had aimed for, due to issues such as unexpected bugs in the online registration process, an early gun start for 21K & 10K runners, with some 10K runners catching the tail end of the 5K runners , and several runners who got lost along the route, thanks to the collective effort of Century Pacific Group, Saga Events, PC&V, Fuentes Manila PR, Starcom Media Vest, Event King Secretariat, RunRio Inc., and FBDC, we came together as a team determined to rise above the seemingly insurmountable challenge of pleasing each and every one of our 11,344 participants on race day.
