QCIM Night Run 2014
by Cheryl Villareal on Sep 19th, 2014
QCIM is another run for the books because of it’s unique race route yearly. After all, how many runners can actually say they ran the stretch of Quezon Avenue right? Personally, I like this run because of just that. You’re not running small streets or sidewalks at QCIM, you’re running the main roads! And this year, the organizers changed it up a bit to make it even more exciting…they turned it into a night run! ...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

7-Eleven Run 1000 at Cavitex
by Cheryl Villareal on Nov 25th, 2013
Last year, 7-eleven celebrated the opening of their 800th store through a fun run held in Cavitex. Despite several delays due to the bad weather as well as problems with Cavitex, the run pushed through and turned out to be one of the best runs for several participants. 7-eleven continues to expand and build even more stores. In just 1 year, they have already added 200 more stores nationwide. So you know what that means right? It’s time for anot...Read More » Tags Share Comments (2 )

Corregidor International Half Marathon on December 8, 2013
by Cheryl Villareal on Sep 29th, 2013
They say that you haven’t actually run unless you’ve run the Corregidor International Half Marathon (CIHM). With it’s super challenging route, anyone who has completed it will surely feel indestructible. The philosopher George Santayana once stated, “Those who do not know history are condemned to repeat it.” But if history is comprised of all your winning and most memorable moments, you will most likely come back for it. On Decemb...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

New Balance Power Run–10k, 16k and 25k on November 10, 2013
by Cheryl Villareal on Sep 18th, 2013
I have always looked forward to the New Balance Power Run for several reasons, my top reason however being its 25k category! I’ve ran several 21km races, and the 25k run just makes me test my endurance a tiny bit. It pushes me to go a little further without going overboard. The same goes for the 16k. Before I moved up to 21km runs, I tried joining the 16km run first. Proper training is still very important, but the feeling of accomplishment for...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

Safeguard 2XU Run Race Results and Experiences
by Cheryl Villareal on Sep 9th, 2013
I first heard of the Safeguard 2XU Run early this year. It sounded very promising and the freebies were enticing. Some people thought that the registration fee was too high, but personally, I thought the fee was just right, given the amount of freebies. I mean, just the 2xu calf guards were already enough! Moreover, it’s a RunRio organized race. I no longer question Rio’s expertise in the field of running. If he organized it, it’s bound to ...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

Takbo.ph Runfest 2013: 5th Anniversary Run
by Cheryl Villareal on Apr 21st, 2013
Ever since their first run back in 2010, I have always anticipated Takbo.ph’s next anniversary run! I found it to be an extremely fun run simply because of the aura exuded that day. Top it off with the personalized singlets and banderitas with every runner’s name hanging right after the finish line, it was awesome! Their succeeding run became a little bit simpler but was still equally fun and enjoyable. I remember host Dj Chloe from Mellow 94...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )
