@ irunners
If ever po yung shutlle service po ba na papunta ng La Union is a day before the event? Sa evening po ng March 12 ang byahe then sakto po sa event day yung dating sa La Union? Para po hindi na ako mag check-in sa hotel, kasi plano ko after the event ay uuwi na din po ako.

Maraming salamat po. =)

Takbo-takbo lang…

Running_Buddies-Daniel if you will join the 42K and avail of the shuttle service (back and forth) all you have to pay is P1350 that is for the registration and bus fare or shuttle.

sir ask ko lang what time will the shuttle leave from launion to manila?

ronald, (tentatively) the schedule of the shuttle leaving La Union back to Manila is between 3PM to 4PM, we will get the consensus of the Runners for the final schedule. By the way, the other means where the runner can have the liberty of traveling back is thru what we call ‘stub system’ where the runners who opt to travel earlier or later than what is planned will be given a stub, the stub will serve as the bus ticket thus the runner can follow his/her own itinerary without the hassle of waiting for the trip of the other runners.

eric gonzales, like what i’ve told the other runners who asked the same question, there will be no cut-off to be imposed by the organizer, and the discretion as to the fitness of the runner to continue or not rest in the hand of the medical teams, in-short the med. team will be the one to determine if the runner can continue with the race or not.

Good day friends! just an additional info to everyone, we will be setting up HENNA TATTOO BOTHS (not free) on March 15 within the starting area vicinity for those who wanted to put some ‘significant marks’ in their skin – this idea is inspired by the ‘warriors’ who goes on the battle with marks in their skin/face to show that they are in for the war. Because like i what i’ve said this event will transform you into a ‘super runner’ and you need all the preparation both mentally and physically even psychologically to conquer it.

We will also have a simple carboloading salo-salo on March 15 6PM and the main objective of the party more than anything else is to familiarize everyone with the route of the event to prepare you mentally to the ‘battle’ ahead.

Friends, fellow runners thank you very much for the support manifested by the great flow of Runners registering for the LUUM-2 (SuperMarathon) especially the runners registering for the 50K Category!
From a runner’s perspective, i believe there are atleast 3 good reasons why LUUM-2 can be your best event especially to those who would like to jumpstart from regular marathon to ultra running:
1. The route of LUUM-2 is both challenging at the same time a runner-friendly route; The ‘super uphills’ of LUUM will train the runners and prepare them for any kind of route that they might encounter later on, be it the TNF or Mayon. LUUM offers both the elevation and difficulty that mostly featured in the Ultra events.
The route is runner-friendly because it offers asphalted route all-throughout and this gives equilibrium to the challenges brought about by numerous and arduous climbs of the route.
2. The route of LUUM traverses the mountains and forested area of La Union and this translate to plenty of oxygen to supply the lungs of the runners during their 5 to 8 hours exhausting run.
3. Finally, the event offers and never been done ‘award’
(Maiden Runner Award) that motivates the participants to conquer themselves and bring out the ‘super runner’ in them. This award belongs to ALL runners who will prove that they are indeed super runners in their own right proving that they have the courage (superman quality) to finish the race against all odds!

Runners, friends to all interested participants of LUUM – 2 who want to register on-line, visit the iRunner fanpage:http://www.facebook.com/irunnerscommunity?fref=ts look for the SuperMarathon logo (redmedal) fill up the registration form, pay at BDO branch near you, take a picture of the deposit slip or scan it and send it to the following e-mail addressess: irunner_launion@yahoo.com and randyabasolo@yahoo.com. Without the pict or scanned copy of deposit slip your registration wont get confirmation. Salamat po!

Reine walang uphill ang 10K

Sir Randy, Mga ilang runners ang sumali sa takbo last year. Curious lang. Also, I noticed na tila may mga cracks and holes ang mga ilang sections ang kalsada. Hindi kaya unsafe ito pag madilim ang daan, baka matapilok ang mga runners pag naapakan mga butas? Do you recommend runners to bring flash light? Salamat.

Noi Tisoy, sir pasensya very unfortunate na nagkasakit ang staff ko for almost a week kaya di sya regular na nakapunta sa post nya sa ROX. Ok na ata sya so by monday balik work na sya at until Saturday na ang schedule nya dun.

Tur, last year we have 1100 participants sa maiden run ng LUUM, this year we are looking to triple it. yung may crack na daan ay maiksi lang at hindi sya risky sa runners. Just the same we encourage all participants of 50k and 42k to bring a headlamp. Meron din kaming measure na gagawin para mailawan kayo sa ruta. I assure you that we will do our very best to secure your safety in your run here at LUUM.

therefore the scenic route that you are offering is useless ‘coz the start of the 50k is at 2am. eh 6am palang magliliwanag. average runners will be in by 6-7am. e di kaunti rin lang makikita namin!

Jess, pls visit the iRunner fanpage: http://www.facebook.com/irunnerscommunity?fref=ts, we have posted the official hotel partner of luum-2, ALL the details are posted in the fanpage all you have to do is to select your preferred room and make the deposit in iRunners Productions Account so that we can book for your stay here in La Union. Here is the iRunner number pls dont hesitate to call us: 09483303593

Friends it took us sometime to arrive at a decision and now we would like to announce that the final schedule of gunstarts for 50K will be 1AM and for 42K it will be 2AM. We assure you that we weigh down all suggestions before coming up with our decision. Maraming salamat po sa lahat ng nagbigay ng opinyon.

A reminder to all participants of LUUM-2 particularly for 21K, 42K and 50K, your Finishers t-shirt i assure you is one that you will wear proudly because of its quality and aesthetic value, and we all know that quality always comes with a price, so when you pick you finisher shirt on March 16, 2013, pls prepare a P100 to augment the cost of your t-shirt. I hope you guys understand, thank you and see you at the Super Marathon!

pinoyultramarathoner naaagahan ka sa 2am gunstart pero ayos din ang organizers ginawa pa nilang 1am hehehe

Friends pls take note of the following reminders with regards to the registration for LUUM-2 SuperMarathon:

1. For those runners (particularly 21K, 42K, 50K) who would want to avail or secure the following: SINGLET, FINISHER MEDAL, FINISHER T-SHIRT AND RUNNERS BANDs, you are advised to register ON OR BEFORE FEBRUARY 28, 2013 – if you register beyond the said date, PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT WE CANNOT ASSURE you that you can still avail of these items because we will order them in advance and prioritize the runners who registered on the prescribe date.

2. The registration for LUUM2 will be EXTENDED on March 15, 2013 at exactly 10:00 in the evening, however, as we mentioned above, we cannot promise as to the availability of the said items – at the most, we can only offer FREE-SIZE FINISHER SHIRT, but we cannot promise the availability of your finishers medal.
For security reasons, Runners who registered early (on or before Feb.28) will be given a tag, to ensure that they will get their well-deserved medals. And with regards to the t-shirt, the finishers t-shirt are packed in a ”personalized loot bag” to assure the runners who registered on the prescribe date that they will not missed their t-shirt and their respective sizes.

3. The registration at ROX BGC will be extended until March 06, 2013 but again the same rule that is expressed above will be applied for those runners who will register beyond February 28, 2013.

4. Runners resident of La Union will get a special rate for 3k and 5K categories, if they opt to run using their own t-shirt/singlet they can join the run by paying ONLY P48 – again this promo is only for La Union residents and only applies to 3K and 5K categories.

5. BOTTOM LINE, please don’t miss the date (FEBRUARY 28, 2013) for you to secure your participation here in LUUM-2 Super Marathon.

Your Race Director,

Randy M. Abasolo
