Currently training for a hilly marathon course.

Any suggestions on running routes with a lot of hills around Manila or near Manila? Pass muna sa Baguio since malayong biyahe.

At saan yung sinasabi nilang pader sa Clark? Ito ba yung along D'Heights.

Copying last year’s thread.

I’d love to hear how your application went:

- Which charity did you apply through?
- How much did you pledge?
- Were you successful?
- When did you receive your acceptance email?

Hopefully this thread can help future applicants.

I'll be running the NYC Marathon this November, and I'd love to get your thoughts on hotel locations. Would you recommend staying near the start or near the finish line?

Hotel recommendations are also very welcome, especially if you've stayed somewhere that made race weekend more convenient. Thanks.

Who’s in for 2027?

Please also indicate:

• Yes/No
• Sat/Sun
• UK single/UK double/International

Ilang months na lang at marathon weekend na.

Kumusta naman ang training niyo?

Since may heat wave ngayon sa Europe, nakapag-heat training na rin ba kayo? Mukhang malaking factor ang init sa race day, kaya curious ako paano kayo naghahanda.

See you on the start line.

For those with a 9-to-5 job who would consider themselves average or relatively slow runners but were eventually able to qualify for the Boston Marathon, how many years of consistent training did it take you to get there?

I'd love to hear about your journey, training volume, and what made the biggest difference in helping you achieve a BQ.

For those who received the email regarding the "Guaranteed Slot for the 2026 TCS Sydney Marathon" from Runrio, please note that this is a Marathon Tours package entry.

Yes, the marathon slot is guaranteed, but it comes at a significantly higher cost and is available only in limited quantities.

Essentially, you're paying for a package that includes a stay in a 5-star hotel in downtown Sydney, along with your marathon entry.

I’ve seen a few influencers posting Facebook reels of their training sessions there.
