Nike We Run Manila 10K 2012


I missed the Nike We Run SG & KL , so i register for this event. I love traveling as much as i love running, so this is the perfect opportunity for me to travel and run at the same time. The event was held at the Mall Of Asia (MOA) which is the start and also finish line for the race.

Day 1

Arrived in Clark around 3PM. From the airport i took a bus to the Dau bus terminal. Its a 3hrs bus ride from Clark to Manila. It was already dark when i arrived in Manila. I get off from the bus somewhere in Pasay area and took a taxi to the Bonafacio High Street for the race pack collection. Spent some time at the venue after that grab a cab to my hotel. 




Day 2

Had my breakfast at the hotel, after that go for a walk at MOA took some pictures,buy some food, watch the Christmas parade and after that head back to the hotel. Here some of the picture on that day.

 

Day 3 - Race Day

Woke up at 4.00 am, get ready for the race. Drink coffee and eat couple of bread to fuel me during the race. Arrived at the starting line at 4.45am, i make sure i arrived early to get a spot in front. The race suppose to flag off at 5.30am but a bit delay. Finally we were let go at 5.45am, i got behind  the runners for almost 2 min. After the road a bit clear i begin to increase my pace. I was running a steady pace 5'35" since its a flat course. I finish the race at 53:15. After the race runners were entertained by the local band and special performance by Apl De Ap from BEP. Overall it was a fun event and hope to be back next time.

Its time to go home...
