After the TBRDM Bull Circle, we went to visit Riovana, the latest additional of RunRio (Coach Rio dela Cruz)’s achievements. The place is near Honda BHS, where races in BGC always start. Riovana has the usual essentials of a running store: shoes, watch, gears BUT with a plus (that actually intrigued me): shower room and lockers.

The lockers and showers are separated for men and women. There are 2 showers for women and 1 for men. Lockers are placed just before and after you reach the showers. You can take a shower for just P100/day and rent a locker for P50/4 hours. I find it very convenient for runners like me who works just around the BGC area. Riovana is open at weekdays 10am-10pm and on weekends at 9am-10pm, while during races they are opened as early as 3am to accomodate the runners. This gave me an idea and finally I can run once a week here in BGC without the fear of losing my things or looking for a running buddy.

Special thanks to Lesley Ann for graciously answering all my inquiries.
