Are you ready for Adidas KOTR 2009? This is one of the big races in Manila that is being anticipated by many runners. One thing I liked about this race, and i know most if not all will agree, is the good quality and design of the singlet. This year it will be a yellow one. You can check previous post here on the Adidas King of the Road 2009 singlet.
We haven't received the official announcement yet, but here are the details from their facebook account.

It has been a very busy month, took me forever to find time updating the team’s website. We have been very busy training for different ultra marathon events locally and internationally. While some of us are focused on generating new running activities for the team and the running community (trail runs, and 3 major ultra marathon projects). As we all know the hot topic right now is the upcoming TNF 100. Here are some of my thoughts about what lies ahead for all of us joining.
Let’s start off with the 100km
All I can say this will be a difficult race since The North Face always wants to challenge and explore your limits. Coach Rio and Vince along with the Finishline team will surely create a unique and challenging race for all of us. No matter what distance your taking part, Clark-Sacobia will provide a unique and dramatic challenge for everyone. It’s quite difficult to asses what will happen to the course since, the weather is quite unpredictable. A few would have predicted that rains will come this early. Let’s just see what will happen in the next few days. The course will be two loops just like last year’s TNF 100 in Nasugbu which somehow contributed to a lot of DNF. The initial plan this year was to make a single loop however the area provided unique challenges making it quite impossible to do. So two loops of 50km , however the second loop will involve a slight change in the course and even the terrain. (Picture Above: PUR, Jose De Vera in Mt. Pinatubo. Terrain of the TNF 100 course would be similar to Pinatubo, however I am expecting the course to have several climbs 4 to be exact).
The topographical map provided by the organizers highlights the difficult and challenging sections of the course. The first one will be the start up to AS 1(Aid Station 1) since runners will be running in the middle or near the side of the river. River crossing won’t be a problem, since your already in the middle of the river. If it stays dry the Sacobia river would remain firm with puddles of water. If it rains, I don’t think the water will be high( a few inches deep) enough to cause any danger but it will definitely be fast flowing. This resembles like the river in Pinatubo, shallow but fast flowing. So take it easy here, run your own pace, and don’t worry to much about your feet getting wet, just keep moving and focus on your pace. The race will start at 4am so just take it easy let the stronger runners pass you and use them to show you the quickest and stable route. TNF Map.
The Haduan section looks also difficult, specially from MP3 to MP7 and MP6 looks really really imposing. As you can see in the topographical map the contour lines(brown lines-represent the landscape) are really close to one another, if I can remember correctly it indicates these areas are really narrow. The lines are close to one another which represent steep climbs or drops. The MP’s are really close to one another, which also shows the difference in elevation. This loop will be really challenging so plan your pace well, you can sprint and reach Haduan while the trail is still freah, or you can be a diesel runner and run this part after several runners massacres the trail(at least you know your in the right trail).
Mp 11 to 14 is also imposing, contour lines are bunched together, and I assume there might be strong winds in this area since it’s on top of a ridge. Hopefully we can see the whole Clark area from here as well as our base camp. If it rains or the sun reaches its highest point, hmm good luck to us this will definitely test our endurance.
For the veteran and elite runners this will be a cake walk, just like last year they were all flying and blazing through the course. But for mere mortals like us who just wants to see the finish line, my suggestion is bring a trekking pole, it may be heavy to luggage around but it will surely help you go the distance. (Picture: PUR crunning down from Pinatubo. I'm assuming some sections would have a similar terrain.)
Kilometer 35 or AS 4, will be the first AS which we can access our gear. Refuel as much as you can the starting point is 15km away but would still involve some hills and river crossings. It would be a bit easier, my suggestion stick to your shoes and continue running or walking, you will be crossing several wet areas, changing shoes or socks might not give you any advantage.
The 2nd part of the 100km will remove the Haduan loop, which will be replaced by a 10km road section. Don’t let this fool you, since the road section is very hilly (based on the map this route is part of the dreaded climb in the 25km New Balance Power Run). Some runners might change running shoes or even lighten their load to gain some race position. Reaching base camp, you might want to consider running to the 60km mark before you finally refuel or rest. Finish 60% of the course before you take in some comforts in base camp. If you rest at the half way point there is a huge risk you to rest for a very long time and next thing you know you’re entertaining that idea of quitting, just like what happened to some runners last year.
At base camp, eat lots of food and refuel as much as you can, chances are you will be running or walking at night. Also you may want to brush your teeth or gargle with mouth wash. The goal here is to remove the taste of trail food you have been devouring for several hours. For me it helps reset your taste buds.
If you’re not sure about the weather and you want to pack light, my suggestion bring garbage bags. When it rains cut the top and side portions and transform it to a rain coat. When the rain is over, remove it tie the openings and give it to the marshal which they can use as a trash bag. Or you can choose the expensive alternative buy a light weight jacket or shell. However in the end you will still get wet, what’s important is to make sure after the rain your dry and warm. Remember out there once body heat escapes its difficult to bring it back. (Picture: PUR Jeremy Go in Mt. Pinatubo. The first part of the run will most probably be like this)
Just keep eating and drinking. Keep your calories up. Also try to breakdown the 100km into different manageable segments. Don’t target the whole thing just yet; focus on the 25km marker or the AS or MP points, that would at least help you manage your mental attitude. Don’t forget to reward yourself once you reach your target goal. Sandals anyone? I’m still not too sure about this it will basically depend on your preference, sandals is too open you might get injured specially in technical sections like the Haduan loop or small rocks might hit your toes. On the other hand it will keep preserve your feet. It’s up to you; maybe you can use it in the last few sections before the finishline or the end of the first loop. Also manage your expectations, don’t get discouraged about your time. Trail runs specially this one can take longer than road runs. Sometimes a 5-7kilometer trail can take you several hours to complete. Think of this race as a long trek or walk, I’m sure a lot of mountaineers who will be racing have experienced long never ending treks especially during multi day climbs. Hope this helps you prepare for the race.
More to come, I’ll also post some of my thoughts about the 10km and the 20km, just need to work right now. See you at the starting line at Clark.

What is the Nike+ Human Race?
On 08.31.08, Nike is making a statement like no other before. Nike is putting on the World’s Largest Running Event. The 10k event will be the ultimate runner experience. By combining our digital running world with the physical, the Nike+ Human Race is open to anyone, anywhere. Nike is hosting race events in 25 cities around the world, but by logging into nikeplus.com, every city and every road can become a race-day course.
Why did Nike decide to organize this event?
Simply put, Nike is celebrating runners and their sport. This is going to be the World’s Largest Running Event and provide a global connection point for every athlete. By using tools that we’ve created like Nike+ and the Nike+ SportBand, now people can participate from anywhere: a country road, an urban sidewalk or at one of our 25 designated Nike+ Human Race cities. We wanted to connect with our consumers and connect our consumers with each other.
What is the main goal of the event?
To celebrate runners and their sport while uniting athletes world-wide through the world’s largest running event.
What makes the Nike+ Human Race different from any other 10k run?
This is the first global race to reach such a large participant base and geographic scope. We are creating access points in 25 cities as well as bringing the race to every runner through a digital world with nikeplus.com. It will be an event like no other because of its size, but also because of the experience we are creating: live concerts on race day with top musical artists and Nike athlete participation.
Where will it be held?
The Nike+ Human Race is the world’s largest running event. It will be held anywhere a registered runner chooses to hit the pavement. Nike has organized 25 physical race cities, but the Nike+ Human Race is truly open to everyone, everywhere. If you don’t live in a race city, just sign up at nikeplus.com to participate and run in your city. Simply use Nike + iPod or Nike+ SportBand to track your miles on race day and then download miles on nikeplus.com to have your results officially counted as part of the race. The 25 race cities include:
How were the cities selected?
We have planned the cities based on the best geographical locations to showcase some of the most famous landmarks and unique race courses in the world. Runners in Istanbul will cross the bridge connecting Europe to Asia. Runners in the UK will race through central London. Taipei’s course will wind past the Taipei 101- one of the world’s tallest buildings. NY takes the race out of Manhattan and onto Randall’s Island – where there is a completely renovated park that’s said to be one of the city’s best park and recreation areas outside of Central Park.
Race sites were also selected to accommodate the largest number of runners. Strategic cities from all over the world have been selected with these considerations in mind. We wanted our runners to have the best event experience possible.
How do I sign up?
Visit www.nikeplus.com to access the Nike+ Human Race Web site and registration form where you can sign up online or download a PDF version for mail in registration. Sign up to run in one of the 25 physical race cities or in your neighborhood. You do not have to be a nikeplus.com member to sign up.
When do I sign up?
You can visit nikeplus.com and save your spot now. On June 2nd anyone can officially sign up for the Nike+ Human Race.
Is there a registration deadline?
Countries may cap registration based on race course capacity for the physical race, but there is no registration deadline. You can reserve your spot online now before the global registration begins on June 2nd.
How much does the race cost?
Visit nikeplus.com for more information on the registration fee. It may vary by city and type of participation (running in your city versus a Nike+ Human Race city). The registration is free for runners not participating in the physical races.
Do I have to be a nikeplus.com member to participate?
No. The Nike+ Human Race is open to everyone. Visit nikeplus.com to sign up for the race. However, to take advantage of special training programs for the event, to access training tools like Nike+ Coach and to experience the full depth of the global Nike+ community, membership is recommended.
If I’m not running in a Nike+ Human Race city how can I connect to the Nike+ Human Race experience?
Anyone that registers for the Nike+ Human Race can participate. By registering for the race with nikeplus.com runners can simply run from their home, track their run with Nike+ iPod or Nike+ SportBand, then log their miles and contribute to the global mileage occurring simultaneously on 08.31.08. There are also dozens of other opportunities to race by checking out if any of Nike’s event sponsors are hosting runs in your area. Every Starbucks will be equipped with a nikeplus.com kiosk and many will be hosting training runs as well as race day events.
There is also a Host a Run option, which allows you to organize a running cite in your city. You can create your own Nike+ Human Race experience.
How do I sign up if I don’t live in a host city?
The Nike+ Human Race is open to everyone. Visit nikeplus.com to sign up for the race. You do not have to be a nikeplus.com member to register or run in the Nike+ Human Race. However, to take advantage of our training tools and experience the full depth of the Nike+ community, membership is recommended.
What Athletes will be participating?
Our goal with the Nike+ Human Race is to unite a global community through running and our focus is on welcoming every athlete of every ability. A number of elite Nike athletes will support the Nike+ Human Race through both the training process and on race day. The following top athletes will be joining the sea of runners on race day:
How many people will be participating?
The Nike+ Human Race stands to be the largest running event to date. We’re anticipating hundreds of thousands of people will take to the streets to run on 08.31.08 – either in one of the 25 physical race cities or in runners’ home cities around the world.
What will race day be like?
Whether you are participating in one of the 25 race cities, with a group in a non-race city, or on your own, 08.31.08 will be the world’s largest running event. The 10k course in each of the 25 race cities takes runners past iconic structures and sites. In the 25 physical race cities, the Nike+ Human Race will have pre-race day events, gifts for participants and an exclusive post-race concert by some of today’s top artists. With thousands of runners participating at every location the Nike+ Human Race will be an amazing connection point for a global community of athletes.
What bands will play in each city?
The live band performances will be announced by every region closer to the event day. Visit nikeplus.com or your local race city page for more information!
Will I get to see what’s going on in other cities on race day?
There will be live feeds to support coverage from all of the 25 race course events. The video will be streaming at each of the 25 physical race sites as well as on nikeplus.com.
I notice the race day tee lists 29 cities, but there are only 25 cities that will hold an event. What happened to the others?
We initially planned to host 10k runs in all 29 cities listed, but to provide the best running experience possible, we wanted to focus on the 25 listed. We made this decision after the tees had gone to production.
Will there be a charity component for the Nike+ Human Race?
Yes. As participants in the Nike+ Human Race, runners will be able to run for a cause. We will be providing more information about charitable giving on July 2nd.
