So if binayaran mo na yung service nay un bakit mo pa gagawin yun personally.

Are you saying na okay lang magkalat kasi may tagalinis naman? A waste is still a waste that needs to be dumped somewhere.

What I am saying is that the legal responsibility of the organizer is to clean up after the runners and that the runners knows this, or at least it is implied.

Yan ang context ng kada fun run. So yeah, itapon mo lang yang cup na yan sa ground if gusto mo, regardless if you are after a PR, kasi ALAM mong hindi yan mag contribute sa total UNCLEANED trash ng kalsada.

Kasi if mag qualify ka then lahat nalang ng fun runners, pati yung mga naghahabol ng mga world record (yeah may naghahabol nyan kasi kahit na yung IRON MAN fun run pa din yun), ay dapat huminto at magtapon ng basura nila... COMPETITION be damned! Tandaan nyo kada fun run ay ISANG RACE!

So yan ang context. If you wanna contest the context then write your congressmen to legislate EXTREMELY stricter anti-littering laws.

and i think it was taken cared of..
right after the race..

medyo off yung comparison sa nathan and natgeo..
tingin ko kasi, yung sa nathan, medyo mas serious runners sasali dun..
those who won't mind going places at 5am para lang makajoin..
and mas disiplinado ng konti..
yung mga runs kasi sa bgc, kahit mga casual runners andun..

Teka nga… ano ba ang “proper” place? If ang isang kalsada na lilinisin naman afterwards AT generally considered na trash area then can we say na PROPER place yun para tapunan?

It would be different kasi if ALAM mong walang maglilinis nun at tinapon mo sa kalsada.

So your inputs are somewhat off tangent kasi nga ibang scenario ang nangyayari dito kasi ALAM mong kasama sa binayad mo ang paglilinis ng organizer sa mga kalat afterwards. So if binayaran mo na yung service nay un bakit mo pa gagawin yun personally.

So ang punto lang namin dito ay simple: Put things in the proper context.

Throwing your used cups in the ground is the most irresponsible thing you can do as a runner. Kung alam mo may maglilinis niyan does not make it proper. I hope maisip niyo rin na kung bigla umulan, it would be hard to sweep all those litters along the running route (mostly diyan nahangin na - e.g. sachet gels or derecho na sa canal). I don't still get it why there should be litters in the road during marathons and fun runs. If mahirap itapon sa thrash bins, bakit hindi mo na lang ipatong sa mesa ulit, you were able to decelerate to hydrate, I'm sure you can figure it out how to properly throw your cup.
