MANILA, Philippines — Sun Life is bonding families, fitness enthusiasts and sports communities together through its Bike and Run on Nov. 8 at the Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub in Imus, Cavite, promoting an active lifestyle through activities that people of all ages and fitness levels can enjoy.
Building on the success of its signature cycling events, Sun Life is taking its wellness advocacy a step further. The trusted financial institution is officially expanding its sports platform to include running, creating fresh, inclusive avenues for Filipinos to embrace active lifestyles and strengthen family bonds.
The newly minted Sun Life Bike and Run is designed to break down barriers to fitness, offering something for everyone – from seasoned endurance athletes to families taking their first steps toward wellness together.
True to its community-first spirit, the event features a diverse lineup of categories tailored to various fitness levels and interests, including the rigorous 60-km and 45-km bike rides for those seeking a serious endurance challenge, complemented by a 15-km ride for a shorter, accessible route.
Dedicated kids’ and family rides are also crafted to introduce children to the joys of movement early on, encouraging parents and kids to build healthy habits side by side.
For runners and walkers, a brand-new 5-km run is also on tap, opening the festivities to participants on foot and welcoming those who may not own a bicycle but share a passion for staying active.
Registration is ongoing. Interested participants may sign up through Sunrise Events or visit Sun Life Cycle PH event information and registration details.
Race kits may be claimed on Nov. 5 and 6, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., at the second floor of One Bonifacio High Street in Bonifacio Global City.
For Sun Life, integrating running into an already established cycling program reflects a deeper mission: making holistic health accessible to all.
While cycling has successfully built strong communities through its outdoor appeal and camaraderie, the addition of a run category broadens the tent. It invites a wider spectrum of participants to join the movement, ensuring that regardless of age, background, or equipment, everyone has a place at the starting line.
Ultimately, the Sun Life Bike and Run is about much more than a single day of competition. It serves as a powerful reminder that the journey toward better health is more enjoyable – and sustainable—when shared with loved ones.
By inspiring families and communities to step outdoors and make physical activity a natural part of their everyday lives, Sun Life continues to champion a healthier, brighter future for every Filipino. TMT
