CITY OF IMUS, CAVITE — The first-ever Sun Life Bike & Run brought the community together in a celebration of fitness, wellness, and active living—and Cavite showed up in full force. Held on Sunday, November 8, 2026, at the Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub in Imus City, the inaugural event drew nearly 2,000 participants, including cyclists, runners, families, and health advocates.
An Inclusive Event for Every Kind of Mover
The event was designed for participants of all ages and fitness levels, featuring 60-km and 45-km bike rides for cycling enthusiasts seeking a challenge, a 30-km ride for intermediate cyclists, and a 15-km ride for those preferring a shorter route. The lineup also included kids' rides and a family ride for younger participants and their loved ones, alongside a 5-km run for those who prefer to hit the ground running. The 45-km bike category alone drew over 800 entries, while the 5-km run attracted close to 600 participants, reflecting the broad appeal of the event across different fitness communities.
Organized for Impact and Community
The event was organized by Sun Life Philippines and Sunrise Events Philippines, building on the success of Sun Life's annual cycling event and expanding its sports platform to include running to welcome more Filipinos into the movement for better health. More than a test of endurance, the Sun Life Bike & Run aimed to make physical activity an enjoyable, shared experience. The inclusion of kids' rides and a family ride gave parents and children a chance to discover the joys of movement together, while the 5-km run opened the event to those who may not own a bike but share a commitment to staying active.
A Community in Motion
For Sun Life, the addition of running represents more than an expansion of race categories; it reflects a continuing effort to bring more people—cyclists, runners, friends, and families—into a community united by wellness. The Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub in Imus proved to be an ideal venue, offering a spacious and well-equipped environment that accommodated the diverse range of activities and participants. To everyone who pedaled, ran, or cheered at the event, the inaugural Sun Life Bike & Run was an unforgettable celebration of health and togetherness—one event, two ways to move, and a community in motion.
