Great event. Pero ang labo ng mga marshals. 3.5k nalang daw, pero inabot ata ako ng 3k para makita yung Marshall sa CWC na nagsesenyas na “3k” nalang. hindi rin tugma yung mga pinagsasabi nila sa mga markers na nakasulat sa road.

Congrats po sa mga finishers!

Anybody measured the total distance of the course? Parang sobra kasi sa 26.2 miles.

gratia plena

Yeah ako yun pero naka vff sprint lang ako, but still ang hirap mag-vibram sa CamSur haha. Dun na talaga ako nawasak sa water station kung san tayo nagkita tapos yun nga sobrang init, mas nabadtrip ako nung biglang umulap ang kalangitan after ng marathon haha.

mac
nice weather pero ang init ng ground talaga…. nafefeel ko sa sapatos ko….

sana man lang iniba nila yung design ng medal compared last year, date lang iniba eh…

mukhang pinagbigyan lang ang runners kahapon kasi ngayon, signal no. 3 na ang bagyo sa naga….. kahapon ng hapon signal no. 1 na pala…

overall nice experience again plus the new experience with the train ride =)

etivacenyo
Kayo pala yun sir. Medyo kinakaya ko lang ung ruta minsan stab ng konti minsan lakad hehe

Binabasa ko lang ung VFF ng malamig na tubig ko para mawala init, pero kakakaiba ung lagoon, makinis na semento, naging luke warm paa ko hahaha! Charge to experience na lang cguro tayo ehehehe. Gusto ko din isumpa ang talas ng init pero ok na rin for heat training. 2 lang yata tayo naka VFF eh. Mga baliw lang LOL!

atari
congrats po sa inyo..astig!!

SpaceClav
Yeah tayong dalawa lang ata ang naka vff nun, kaya medyo namamangha yung mga tao dun sa camsur haha. oo nabaliw din ako banda sa lagoon wala nang bukas yung araw hahaha.

jhunie
ok naman yung race…sobrang dilim nga lang sa simula tapos naabutan ng init sa lagoon haha
1st half of the race was awesome yung energy ng crowd ang galing! dun ako kumuha ng inspiration at humugot ng lakas sa kanila…1st time ko maranasan yung ganung crowd turistang turista ang dating talaga…salamat sa kanila
buti napaaga ng uwi kundi inabutan ng bagyo…ok nga din yung train experience!

angelo
COngrats sa mga VFF marathoner

musta po ung bicol express. . ok po ba ung service nila?

mac
ok naman yung service nila…sulit na sulit ang sleeper coach pauei kasi tulog ako from 8pm to 4am hehe!

medyo luma nga lang yung mga trains pero pwede na rin!

kailangan magdala ng pagkain kasi nung pauwi kami, nalimutan daw yung paninda sa manila… sideline lang pala yun ng mga taga PNR pero ok na rin kasi abot kaya ang presyo…

angelo
thanks sa info, masubukan nga minsan pag babalik ng bicol

backseat

Are the sleeper trains airconditioned?

How much was it?

mac
yes airconditioned. Promo fare right now is 665. Regular fare is around 900.

It was a nice experience! me fireworks pa before the race… ang hirap lang bumangon ng mga (2am) just to catch up sa shuttle na magdadala sa starting point (21k).
the crowd was so great specially the kids who will greet you “good morning” sabay high 5!, ang dami ding expectators sa daan kaya mapapangiti ka and appreciate their support
feeling ko lang lagpas 21k yun (my nike + register it on 24k).
sayang walang finishers shirt both for 21k & 42k runners, but the medal is fine
having experience running in the province with a nice view of mt. Isarog and a wonderful crowd is worth running again next year
congrats to all participants!

barefootdaves
hope everyone got home safely

lakas ng hangin at ulan. buti na lang at we took the bus back home
couldn’t sustain my pace for the whole distance sumakit na ung talampakan ko
then me part pa na asphalt pero madaming small stones ang nagkalat

it was a very nice experience especially ung food

mac
speaking of fireworks sa 21k, sana nilayo man lang nila sa runners yung fireworks…. apart from the smoke that it generated, may isang firework na pumutok sa malapit sa runners… hopefully, wala naman nasktan….

artbreaker
bast ako. nag enjoy ako… ang mga locals… so sweet.. hehheheh ang kukulet ng mga bata. .nawawala ang pagod ko kapag nag Hi-5 ako sa kanila

artbreaker
tanong ko lang… sure kayang 21k lang yon? ramdam ko kasi parang lagpas ng 21k ang route.. wew..

etivacenyo
The route was measured during its initial outing last year.The same routes was used and all distances received International Measurement Certificate from AIMS and IAAF (Boston Qualifier). I used Nike+ last year sa 21K and it recorded 21.5KMs, considering a well calibrated device, still its 90% accurate. The 42K on the other hand was accurate too with Garmin.

Mas ok if sobra ng konti kesa kulang hehe

One of the best running event I’ve participated. The route was nice and great scenery. Too bad lang na wala loot bag and konti lang freebies. Konti lang din yung markings kaya medyong nhirapan aq magestimate. Well hydrated naman kmi the entire race. Sarap pa ng feeling n ung mga locals nagcheer for you. Anyways, twas a very good experience. Sure gonna join again next year.

Julius
One the best routes ever, very scenic and smoke-free. Total road closure, not a single motor vehicle except for motorcycles used by the organizers. lots of hydration, sometimes just a kilometer apart, water and energy drinks, take your pick. almost all water station had ambulances stationed with them, very well organized and the locals were very supportive, waving and giving high fives to passing runners and no rude remarks or heckling. Every where you go to Naga, you will surely notice a lot of runners milling around, having a good time vacationing while waiting and after the run.

Congratulations to all who participated, I’m sure next year, there will be more runners coming to participate, an event not to be missed!

alet
nagkalat ang patay na palaka! lol.. kidding aside, my most memorable run plus vacation with friends, lucky to hitch a puj & military truck going to cwc to come before the gunstart to leave our valuables at the very last minute & retrieve it -thanks to the organizers. Thank God for the good weather condition.

Route is okay. We started on time. The first part was darkness, there was not enough street lightings so we could barely see the road if there are obstacles. The people who cheered along the streets were warm, most of them are kids.The last 7k was a hurdle as the sun shone so bright so my energy was consumed double. The finish line scene was touching as our co-GRC member Tiff did her first marathon this year and her mom could not believe that her baby really did it to the finish line. My most favorite portion is the claiming of the lootbag so I could have something to show to my hubby back home as he was not able to come with me to Camsur. Unfortunately, there were not a single lootbag left, for a 42km runner like me, it was disgusting as 42km /21km runners are normally treated special on Runrio races like this. Overall rating, it was a nice running experience and I intend to join again next time.

perfect..

two words: the BEST..!

barefootdaves
great weather! kudos to all marathoners! mainit na pagdating ng 8am. all we could do was to cheer ‘em at the clubhouse to boost their spirit. flights got cancelled yesterday. we had to take the bus back to manila.. all is well. will participate again next year

JP Navarrete
Glad to be back home finally!
CWC (Camsur Watersports Complex) did a great job in ensuring we are taken care of during the typhoon.

Next year ulit!
