    I too am from the UK and arrive in the Philippines on January 24 to do a race in Manila on the 25th ( my wife and kids are in Zambales for a few months). I am collecting shoes from my running friends over the next few weeks (5 so far and counting) – please advise which is best race to meet you or your team to pass on my shoes on the 25th if you know yet – I love your blog and Bullrunners too.

    Best Regards Robbo.
