MIXING together fun, fitness, and food, J.CO Donuts and Coffee partnered with RUNRIO to introduce the J.CO Run to the Philippines on November 10.
The event celebrates the brand’s 12th anniversary and will take place at the Mall of Asia Concert Grounds.
Following six successful years in Indonesia, J.CO hopes to bring a brand new running experience to the growing running community in the country with a unique, activity-filled route and a colorful race village.
"We have activations throughout the race, may mga booth sa route na pwede silang mag-enjoy. I think a race like this is good for beginners, para mag-enjoy sila, and they continue to run," Rio Dela Cruz said.
Participants can choose among 3K, 5K, and 12K distances, with the last one especially added to commemorate J.CO’s 12th anniversary.
Registered runners will receive a race kit that includes a J.CO running shirt, race bib number, tote bag, donuts, iced lemon tea, and exclusive finisher medals.
The event will also feature engaging surprises along the race route, dedicated photo spots at the activity village, and sponsor loot bags as keepsakes.
Adding to the excitement, celebrity hosts Juancho Triviño and Joyce Pring were present during the press conference.
The yin-yang of fun and fitness
"We are both excited to be part of the first-ever J.CO Run in the Philippines! Fitness is about finding joy in movement, and events like this bring a sense of community and motivation. We can’t wait to run alongside thousands of people, enjoy the treats, and celebrate wellness together,” said Pring.
"For us, fitness is about balance - staying active while still enjoying life’s little indulgences. That’s why we are looking forward to the J.CO Run. It’s not just about running; it’s about embracing a healthy, joyful lifestyle. Let’s make this a yearly tradition," Triviño added.
To make crossing the finish line even sweeter, participants can look forward to a well-deserved treat: a freshly-brewed cup of coffee and a signature J.CO donut, which they can purchase from their iconic food truck stationed nearby.
All runners are also entitled to a free drink at the J.CO MOA store from November 10 to December 31, simply by presenting their race bib (one-time availment only).
