Iloilo Running Experience
I spent 8 days in Iloilo, and I don’t regret choosing a longer stay. I came here for multiple reasons, but one of the main ones was to find out what it’s like to run through one of the country’s biggest cities. Overall, the experience was great. The city is really well planned out, with streets thoughtfully designed for walking, running, and biking. One word to describe the streets: clean.
I also want to thank the local running community for their hospitality and for welcoming me into their runs. I came to the city knowing nobody, and I’m glad I’m leaving with new friends. I already have plans to come back in January to bring some of our runners from Manila over
I posted a YouTube video about my running experience, the 21KM race, a speed session, and a Sunday long run with stride5000 and soulrunners
