Zumba and Fun Runs Encourage Active Living
BACOLOD - The morning program began with a Zumba session at the BCGC grounds, followed by fun runs covering 3-kilometer, 5-kilometer, and 10-kilometer distances. The activities welcomed participants with different fitness levels, providing opportunities for individuals and groups to exercise together. By including both dance-based exercise and running, the event offered residents different ways to participate in physical activities while contributing to the energetic atmosphere surrounding Bacolod's annual MassKara celebrations.
Cyclists Explore a 33-Kilometer City Route
Cycling enthusiasts also participated in a 33-kilometer fun ride that started at the BCGC grounds and passed through Circumferential Road, Banoceh, Sum-ag, CEGASCO, and Alijis before returning to the starting point. The route brought cyclists through several areas of Bacolod, making the ride another opportunity for participants to enjoy recreational cycling as part of the festival's sports activities. The fun ride complemented the running events by offering a longer-distance activity for those who preferred exploring the city on bicycles.
Community Participation Adds to the Festival Experience
Following the activities, participants enjoyed breakfast and hydration drinks provided by event sponsors and city officials. These provisions helped support participants after their morning exercise while giving attendees an opportunity to gather and interact. Through running, cycling, and group fitness activities, MassKaraSports 2026 added a health-focused dimension to Bacolod's festival calendar. Events of this kind can encourage residents to incorporate physical activity into their routines while allowing visitors to experience the city's community spirit beyond its well-known street performances and cultural celebrations.
