From record-setting marathons and major race series to inclusive community runs and pet-friendly events, SM Supermalls is emerging as one of the driving forces behind Philippine running. Through its expanding portfolio of race events and the SM Active Hub platform, SM continues to bring world-class running experiences closer to communities across the country.
Runners took on the historic EDSA route, connecting SM Mall of Asia and SM North EDSA, with the course passing SM Megamall and crossing the iconic Guadalupe Bridge before looping back to SM Mall of Asia
The Galaxy Manila Marathon marked a defining moment in that journey. For the first time, participants ran along EDSA, connecting SM Mall of Asia and SM North EDSA in a landmark race that celebrated fitness, community, and national pride. The historic route transformed one of the country's most recognizable thoroughfares into a symbol of movement and unity, creating a race experience that captured the imagination of runners from across the Philippines and beyond.
But the Galaxy Manila Marathon is only
part of a much bigger story.
Long before the historic race took over EDSA, SM Supermalls had already been building momentum through a diverse calendar of running events. Since the start of the year, thousands of runners have gathered at SM destinations for races such as the Earth Day Run, Star Wars Run, Doraemon Run, Women's Run PH, multiple legs of the Sante Barley Trilogy Run Asia, community fun runs, and fitness events that welcomed participants of all ages and fitness levels.
These events showcase the breadth of SM Supermalls' running ecosystem. From themed runs that bring together pop culture fans and families, to advocacy-driven races, competitive road events, and marathon majors, SM continues to create experiences that appeal to every type of runner.
Building on that momentum, SM Supermalls
continues to host and support some of the Philippines' biggest and most
anticipated races, including the SM2SM Run in Cebu, Singlife Cebu International
Marathon, Singlife Iloilo Marathon, HOKA Midnight Run Asia, Pride Run,
Decathlon Run, Pet Express Doggie Run, Sante Trilogy Run Asia National Finals,
and races under the Philippine Marathon Majors series. Together, these events
are helping establish SM Supermalls as one of the country's largest and most
diverse platforms for running and active lifestyles.
Continuing the momentum, thousands of
runners are expected to gather at SM Mall of Asia on June 21 for the Pride Run,
one of the country's largest running events celebrating Pride Month. Bringing
together runners, allies, families, and communities, the event combines
fitness, self-expression, and inclusivity in a colorful celebration of
diversity. The run reflects SM Supermalls' commitment to creating spaces where
people can come together, embrace active lifestyles, and celebrate what makes
every individual unique.
Together, these events are expected to
attract more than 100,000 runners nationwide, reinforcing SM Supermalls' role
as a major platform for running and active lifestyles.
The SM2SM Run in Cebu and the Earth Day Run reflect SM Supermalls' commitment to making running more accessible and purposeful, bringing together thousands of participants through events that champion fitness, community, and shared advocacies.
At the center of this effort is SM Active Hub, SM Supermalls' sports and fitness platform that connects communities through running events, fitness programs, training sessions, and wellness activities. Through SM Active Hub, runners gain access to year-round experiences that support every stage of their fitness journey, from training and recovery to race-day participation and community engagement.
What sets SM Supermalls apart is its
ability to create seamless race-day journeys, from registration and race expos
to training, recovery, dining, shopping, and entertainment, delivering the
maxed-out experiences that today's runners and families seek.
Through its network of 90 malls
nationwide, SM Supermalls has transformed running into a movement that reaches
communities across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. From a historic 25,000 runners
at the Galaxy Manila Marathon to more than 100,000 participants expected across
its race calendar, SM Supermalls is helping shape the future of running in the
Philippines.
As the country's most loved mall, SM
Supermalls continues to create destinations where every finish line leads to
new experiences, every race becomes a shared celebration, and every runner
feels part of something bigger.
Because when the Philippines runs, it runs through SM Supermalls.
