Mostly flat, uphill/downhill are the 4 bridges of Roxas Boulevard, Jones Bridge and Intra-Binondo Bridge.

(3) Registration fee is somehow reasonable (4) New section in race village like Recovery area for 42km runners only (Free Ice bath, SanMig can drinks and PT acupuncture session) (5) Huge race village divided to 2 sections since there were 19,000 runners 
If given the chance, would I like to join this race again? Somehow Yes (maybe because I'm tired)

42KM 2025 MANILA MARATHON 9x Full Marathon Finisher Slow Runner 😁 
My 2nd participation in Manila Marathon on its 2nd year. Reached the finish line with total altitude gain of 110m despite being unwell (headache, stomach cramps and leg pain). 82 hours recovery time. Awesome weather.

First time ko magpahid ng Katinko ng ilang beses, dami na talaga signs of aging. First time ko ding hindi naihi / nadumi during the run. Partida pa halos lahat ng Water Station kinuhaan ko ng at least 2 cups.

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