Together with my friends, Jake de Guzman and Drew Arellano, we brainstormed an idea to turn runners into “heroes”. And with the help of my wife Mayi and our other good friend Jaymie (TBR), LITERALLY A LOT OF HELP, we formally launched during the Condura Skyway run.
This is the IamNinoy Runners.
Who are we?
“iamninoy Runners” is a group of professional and amateur runners affiliated with the iamninoy movement. Coming from all walks of life, iamninoy Runners field participants to regular running events—and occasionally mount races of their own—to raise funds for a worthy cause.

Why do we run?
iamninoy Runners want to help address the deterioration of the Philippines’ educational system. For this purpose, the group has aligned with the 57-75 Movement, a private-sector-led initiative that aims to reverse the education crisis through focused interventions and school-community action, toward system-wide performance improvements.How do we help?
iamninoy Runners seek out institutions and individuals who can sponsor their participation in races. These sponsors commit funds, which are in turn donated to pilot projects of the 57-75 Movement. All pledges and donations will be posted on this site.
Do we accept new members?
Definitely. Joining iamninoy Runners is simple: register through this site, and pay a one-time fee of P500 as your investment in the cause. In exchange, we will gift you with an exclusive iamninoy Runners shirt, our official uniform/jersey for all running events.
Join us!!! Be a Hero!!!

Hello Jam.
Is it still possible to buy the shirt? Also, can it be shipped to the East Coast? I'd like one for myself and my best friend, who runs too. I registered at the IamNinoy website but I didn't see the shirt being sold there.
Thanks.
Hi Miya.
Thanks for joining our group and our cause.
Normally the shirts are claimed once you pay the one-time P500 donation in the Rudy Project outlets. Unfortunately, currently, this is only available here in Manila. :( We are still trying to figure out the mechanics for you guys outside the Philippines. We also have registrations coming from California and Canada.
Don't worry, I'll keep you posted. I'm sure to make updates/announcements here in my blog and on the email address you provided upon registration.
BTW, thanks for dropping by my blog :)
Thanks, Jam. May I know where the nearest Rudy Project outlet is in Makati? Btw, you might want to try "The Stick" Marathon stick for muscle pain and trigge points. It's center rod has spindles tht roll individually over the muscles.
Hi Miya.
Sorry for the late reply. The shirts are available at the Rudy Project Store at Bonifacio High Street at the Fort Taguig City.
Thanks also for the tip. Where naman can I get "the Stick"
Hello Jam.
Thanks for the info.
Re "The Stick" - I got mine from the running store in DC. :) I'll just mail "The Stick" to you. Kindly send me a mailing address (including zip code)and email address so that the tracking no. can be sent to you.
Good luck!
