Filipino Marathon Slow Runner Solo Joiner 06-Jul-2025 Sunday in Guimba, Nueva Ecija, Philippines
This Fun Run served as my official Eighth FULL-MARATHON 42.2KM and Seventh Road Marathon as a Solo Joiner, following the Bukidnon Mountain Marathon last June 2025. My main objective is just to finish the race (beating my previous PR is optional), I want to enjoy the run at my own pace.

My Rating: |
3 of 10 stars |
not so organized, very minimal aid station, flat route with minimal elevation gain |
|||
Route difficulty: Almost flat route along Guimba main road for only 43m total elevation gain, ideal for PR, excellent for marathon beginners and slow runners like me. Using headlamp/flashlight is important as some areas of the route is pitch black.
Remarks (My rating: 3 of 10 stars): (1) Full Marathon route is awesome due to its almost flat terrain; passing through Guimba main road, etc. (2) Not so organized, started late with race area not ready yet. (3) 42km Singlet/Finisher shirt design is somehow good. (4) Very minimal aid station (only water) with locations very far to each other (provided map was not followed). (5) Only milk tea, no post-race meal. (6) Full Marathon route was approximately 100m short.
If given the chance, would I like to join this race again? No (enough for the experience)

42KM 2025 NUEVA ECIJA MARATHON
8x Full Marathon Finisher Slow Runner 😁 Reached the finish line with total altitude gain of 43m only despite stomach cramps, right knee pain, drizzling weather and very minimal aid station. 74 hours recovery time.
My will is strong but my knees were far too weak. Proud Slow Runner achievement.
