18,000+ runners! My Galaxy Manila Marathon week experience

Humbled, yet INSPIRED. Runrio Manila Marathon truly humbled me. I aimed for a sub-2 hour half marathon, but crossed the line at 2:09:29 (consolation: inside top 500 out of 6,740 runners 😅). I trained for it, but not in a structured enough way to execute perfectly on race day. Still, I’m inspired — to train harder, to train smarter, and to come back stronger, ready to finally conquer that elusive sub-2 goal. Thank you, Manila Marathon, for an unforgettable, challenging, and fun race experience. See you next year! #GalaxyManilaMarathon #Samsung #RUNRIO #GritOverQuit #AIMSCertified #WorldAthletics #PATAFA #LoveThePhilippines
