Covers Metro Manila, including Bonifacio Global City (BGC) in Taguig, Makati and Quezon City.
Most Metro Manila group runs start in the business districts: the Ayala Triangle and Rockwell in Makati, the High Street and 26th Street loops in BGC (which has wide sidewalks), and UP Diliman in Quezon City. Weekday sessions usually go out between 5am and 6:30am, or after work from about 6pm, and the long runs are on weekend mornings. The scene is mostly free, show-up-and-run clubs that post their schedules on Instagram or Facebook, alongside store clubs, paid coaching teams and two long-running hash kennels.
