If I ask you what you’re doing on the 12th of June I’m pretty sure that most of you are going to answer at least one of the following: bum around, hit the beach, get some fresh air in the mountains, cool down in the malls.

More about the Philippine Independence Day Half Marathon
*words by Cara Rina
RIZ AND I WILL ALSO BE PERFORMING IN THIS EVENT.
There will be a program and food stalls around the area which should make it a WHOLE LOTTA FUN!!! The CIE Alumni are starting a trend to make our Independence Day a very special day of celebration for all Filipinos. During our last meeting, already 4000+ runners have signed up for the marathon… CASH PRIZES AND MEDALS will be awarded to the winners, and they get to hand over a FULLY-FURNISHED HOUSE to a family in need.
Participate in this event (run, be a spectator or just party along!) and help our fellow countrymen learn to value independence, as well as help set a trend for ending poverty!
Run 1,2,3
Set them free
From poverty
UPANG SIYA’Y MAIANGAT
SA PAGKAKASADLAK ! ! !

Hi Raleene :D
Sorry had to ask, the other links about the run won't load :(
What time and where will it be held? Wanna go! Even just as a spectator, I'm kinda not in shape right now. :))
Oh, and do I need to pay? :O
Please & thank you :)
Really? They seem to be working on my end... But it's okay, you can find all of the information here (including the online registration link)

The race is starting at around 6 i think... At Bonifacio High Street. You don't have to pay if you just wanna join with the fun and watch the program :)
Hi Raleene,
PIDM sucked bigtime, me and my co-runners were very frustrated how disorganized the race was. I've just been in to running for 4 months now, but i've never been to a such disorganized race. I joined the 21Km run but the route was not even a 21Km and U-turns were not even arked clearly. The idea of a single gun start with all the race categories really sucks... it was chaos!!!
I really loved the idea of having to celebrate our Independence Day with this kind of special event, but I hope the organizers get help from race experts on how to run a race.
Ad I know I share the same sentiments of most of the runners who ran this morning!!!

Hey Harold!
Wasn't there to witness the start of the race cos our previous gig ended at 2:30AM. So sorry to hear about your experience. Will definitely forward your concerns to our President... I hope the next one will be a better one since everyone agreed that this was a really great idea to celebrate Independence Day. It's just sad that the half-marathon wasn't as good as we expected it to be, but I guess it was unavoidable since it was their first time to organize such a massive event with a huge turnout...
