Story

Hey there! I’m Alex. I’m originally from Europe, but these days, I call the Philippines home.

In 2024, I signed up for my first ever race here, a 21K, and honestly, I didn’t expect much. But to my surprise, I loved it. The atmosphere, the people, and the energy completely hooked me.

Since then, I’ve been running more and more, and I started noticing something: there are tons of running events happening all over the country. Big ones, small ones, road runs, trail runs—you name it. It’s an exciting scene but also a bit overwhelming.

I kept running into the same problem: I’d register for one race, then a few days later stumble on another event I would’ve preferred—happening the same weekend. Most events are posted on Facebook, but they’re scattered, hard to search, and easy to miss unless you know exactly where to look.

As a developer, I figured, “There’s got to be a better way.”
So I decided to build one.

Mission

My goal is simple: create a place where runners—newbies and veterans alike—can find races that actually fit what they’re looking for.

Want to see all the 5Ks in a specific province next month?
Looking for races that offer a timing chip, a goodie bag, and a shiny medal?
Or maybe you’re into trail runs with cool elevation profiles?

I’m building this platform to make that kind of search easy—and fun. No more digging through endless Facebook posts or missing out on awesome events.

You

Here’s the thing: I can’t do this alone.

Every event on the site has to be found, added, and kept up to date—and there are a lot of them. That’s where you come in.

You can help by:

• Sending a link to a race you know about
• Suggesting a correction to race details
• Giving feedback on the website itself

Even small contributions go a long way and everyone who helps will get credited on the site. If you’re passionate about running and want to help others find their next race, I’d love to have you on board.

What’s Next

If this project works out, some of the future plans include:

• Get alerts for new races based on your location, distance preference, or race type
• Partner with photographers so you can find race day photos by bib number or even a selfie
• Let active contributors become moderators to help manage race listings and keep everything accurate
• Add more filtering options—like price range, your location, elevation, or whether there’s a finisher shirt

Running in the Philippines is an amazing experience. I’m just trying to make it easier to enjoy—and easier to plan. Thanks for checking out the site, and see you at the starting line!
