My 10th Full Marathon (42.2KM) Solo Joiner; Iloilo City Marathon 2025

Filipino Marathon Slow Runner Solo Joiner 23-Aug-2025 Saturday in Iloilo City, Iloilo, Philippines

7 Days Budget DIY Solo Trip in Revisiting Iloilo City (Marathon, Chill Walk)

This Fun Run served as my official Tenth FULL-MARATHON 42.2KM and Ninth Road Marathon as a Solo Joiner, following the Manila Marathon last Aug. 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:	5 of 10	well-organized, minimal water stops, manual time recorded (no timing chip)

Route difficulty: Almost flat on the entire one-loop route along Iloilo City's main road (less than 100m total altitude gain ideal for PR), excellent for marathon beginners and slow runners like me.

Remarks (My rating: 5 of 10 stars): (1) Full Marathon route is awesome due to its almost flat terrain; passing through Iloilo City's main road (2) Well-organized, started on time. (3) Minimal water stops. (4) 42km Singlet/Finisher shirt design is good, finisher medal is ok. (4) manual time recorded (no timing chip)

If given the chance, would I like to join this race again? No (due to no electronic timing chip)

My 10th Full Marathon (42.2KM) Solo Joiner; Iloilo City Marathon 2025

42KM 2025 ILOILO CITY MARATHON 10x Full Marathon Finisher Slow Runner   

Reached the finish line with one return route and total altitude gain of 66m despite the stomach cramps, dizziness, inner right knee pain and minimal water station. 69 hours recovery time. Awesome weather. Possibly my last full marathon of 2025, lazy mode on (kapagod max).

My will is strong but my knees were far too weak. Proud Slow Runner achievement.
