Hi, i registered my father last Feb 1 (Tuesday) via online registration. How can we claim/receive the inclusive souvenir shirt and timing chip? It was not stated if it will be delivered to our mailing address or we should pick them up. Pls advise us, Thanks!
iamninoyrunners said,
February 3, 2011 @ 11:03 pm
Hi Tintin, we will schedule days for pick up of race kits. This will be announced in a later post. Thank you.
nini sacro said,
February 4, 2011 @ 2:01 am
Hi! We just registered online. I just noticed that the shirt sizes were not asked on the online form. Free size lang ba ang shirt? Or we can get our preferred sizes upon claiming?
Thanks!
iamninoyrunners said,
February 4, 2011 @ 2:56 pm
Hi Nini, these are souvenir shirts and are free size.
Jun Virola said,
February 4, 2011 @ 4:42 am
My wife and I registered online today. We look forward to receiving the race kits. Thanks!

Thank you Jun. We will announce schedule of race packet redemption.
Jun Virola said,
February 4, 2011 @ 4:47 am
We’re amateur runners and this will just be our second run. Can you tell us what we can expect from this run in terms of security, water stations, mobile first aid, etc.? Are you going to give out certificates, photos or something to show that we officially participated? Thanks!
iamninoyrunners said,
February 4, 2011 @ 3:01 pm
The course is challenging especially for the 10k route. I dont really want to preempt the activities but I assure you we are trying to make it meaningful for the runners.
iamninoyrunners said,
February 4, 2011 @ 3:07 pm
Hi Jun, yes there will be marshals, water stations, first aid, ambulance but no photos or certificates. Your bib and souvenir shirt is your proof. Thanks.

do you have any example of the souvenir shirt’s design?
and.. does this run only accommodate a limit of runners?
iamninoyrunners said,
February 12, 2011 @ 6:02 am
Hi Trick, I’ll work on posting the souvenir shirt here. I’ll try:) Yes limit is 5,000 runners.
psixteen said,
February 12, 2011 @ 6:54 am
Hi! If we register at the stores, do we get the race packet already or they will all be released at ROX? Thanks.
iamninoyrunners said,
February 13, 2011 @ 2:08 am
Race packets will be at ROX on Feb. 23-25. Thanks.
Jun said,
February 12, 2011 @ 8:50 am
Hi! The redemption center is too far (Taguig) and the time window is too narrow (Feb 23-25 are working days). Please set up other redemption centers (accessible by MRT or in any commercial centers — Araneta Center, Ortigas Center, or even near the People Power monument itself). Please, the place and time are so inconvenient. We’re already registered online earlier without these information. Thanks and more power!
iamninoyrunners said,
February 13, 2011 @ 2:12 am
Hi Jun, It was decided that redemption of race packets be done in one area to avoid confusion and mistakes. I apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you.
Philip said,
February 14, 2011 @ 1:04 am
I agree that the redemption center is too far for a lot of people. And yes it would be nice if there are redemption centers set up in more accessible places. But then again, perhaps that’s part of the commitment to the cause for which the event was organized.
It may sound cliché but if we think of the children who will be benefitting from the efforts we are making (apparently, part of what we paid for will be used to build classrooms), we would not feel the ‘inconvenience’.
iamninoyrunners said,
February 14, 2011 @ 6:58 am
Hi Philip. First of all thank you for registering for the run. Secondly, I would like to apologize for the inconvenience with regard to having the race packet redemption in one area. We hope to do better next time. We decided to have the redemption area in one place to avoid confusion and mistakes since some are registering on line and others in registration centers. I do hope for your patience and understanding.
Rodel said,
February 14, 2011 @ 4:25 pm
in case we won’t be able to claim the race packets on the specified dates, will we be able to claim them on the race day itself?
iamninoyrunners said,
February 15, 2011 @ 8:44 am
Hi Rodel, I hope you can claim at ROX Bonifacio High Street on Feb 23-25. We do not recommend claiming on race day. Thanks.
Jun said,
February 15, 2011 @ 8:27 am
I still wish you can set up a more accessible redemption center. If that is really impossible, can you at least allow us to redeem the packets on weekends? I am sure I am not the only one who works 8-5 and have to be home to take care of children. Thanks.
iamninoyrunners said,
February 16, 2011 @ 8:56 am
Hi Jun, I’m working on having Saturday Feb 26 also. i understand the concern. Thanks.
randomtongues said,
February 12, 2011 @ 10:54 am
Yung registration fee, may kasama nang shirt, timing chip and donation? Kahit yung sa 5K? Sorry, naguluhan kasi ako sa format ng pagkakasulat nung reg fee kasi nasa tabi ng 10K yung about the timing chip, etc, so it looks like yung 10K lang yung may kasamang ganun. Thank you! 🙂
iamninoyrunners said,

I want to be part of this great endeavor thou I won’t be running physically coz I’m based in Davao. I already asked a friend based in Manila to register me thou. I’ve been joining several fun runs for a cause here in Davao. Surely this activity would go a long way. =)

I went to Planet Sports at Virra Mall last Saturday to register me and my kids, the staff said they don’t know about the edsa run. Where are the actual registration centers for those who don’t want to register online?
iamninoyrunners said,
February 14, 2011 @ 9:38 am
Hi Jon, sorry to hear that. I’ll inform the Planet Sports coordinator. Other registration centers at Rudy Project BHS and Trinoma, Plane Sports Alabang Town Center, Rockwell & Glorietta–aside from Virra Mall. Maybe the forms arrived in the afternoon. I do hope you try again. Thank you.
jon borbon said,

Yes please give her the claim voucher or email confirmation or whatever was issued to you. And a valid ID for safe measure. Thanks.

is the souvenir shirt made of dry-fit material? when is the deadline of registration? can we register and claim the race kit on feb 23-25 at the same time at ROX if there are still available slots?
iamninoyrunners said,
February 15, 2011 @ 9:02 am
The souvenir shirt is not dry-fit. Deadline of registration could be this week. You’ll need to register first so we can encode your name first and assign race packet. Hope you understand. Thank you.
