First of all congrats to Cebu Executive Runners Club and all
the finishers this morning. You did
great.
I confess I initially didn’t want to participate the CCM
2013 because of the expensive registration fees but I changed my mind on the
day of deadline, Dec. 16, 2012. I wanted
to experience what a P800 5k run feels like and its also my way to
support the sinulog and the running community in Cebu.
Its more fun to run
in Cebu.
Whats my verdict?
Actually it feels the same as the P350 registration fee that I paid in
the fun runs that I participated, even the food was the same, Tinongs bread and
water. I’m not really surprised. They do have separate meal stations for 42k
and 21k, I like that. The singlet is also nice. I plan to wear it at home.
Also, no certificate
and no loot bag.. oh well. There were fireworks in the gun start for 21K, mahal
din yun. Don’t know about the 42k, di ko naabutan.
I just want to say
as a 5k runner, the registration fee is too much. Ayaw nalang kahibung kung mo-reklamo ang local runners, mismo ako nga naay kwartang
pambayad, reklamo man gani. It would be great if you would lower it and
offer discounts to students. Also, sana no deadline for 5k. Accept runners
even on the day of the run, trust
me, a lot of people change their minds
at the last minute to run. The more runners , the merrier di ba.
Other suggestions: Early announcement of the ccm run, preferably
6 months before. Then promote it in other regions and other countries. I think
you should target the hard core runners outside cebu. Most of the locals
already know about this. Anyway, good luck to CCM 2014, I guess I won’t be
there.
