AFTER drawing 8,000 Nakamas last year, even more participants are expected to join the One Piece Run PH this September 26, as the SM Mall of Asia Complex is set to be transformed into an amazing world inspired by the Elbaph Arc.
Presented by SM North EDSA and RUNRIO, in partnership with Toei Animation, with Funko as official sponsor and in celebration of SM Fandom, the race inspired by the globally popular Straw Hat Pirates anime will once again feature 10K, 5K, 3K, and 1K categories.
“We’re excited to stage the One Piece Run PH once again, and after the overwhelming turnout last year, it only made sense for us to bring this race to a bigger stage,” said RUNRIO general manager Andrew Neri.
“This run gives our Nakama another fun way to come together and celebrate the spirit of friendship and adventure that One Piece represents,” said Michael Vincent C. Uy, SM North EDSA assistant mall manager for mall operations.
One Piece Run for two years and counting
The run is part of the fourth year of SM North EDSA’s Animezing North, which brings the world of One Piece to life through larger-than-life installations, photo opportunities, exclusive merchandise and giveaways, character experiences, and other activities inspired by the series, including the much-anticipated Elbaph Arc.
Awaiting the conquerors at the finish line are a special One Piece-inspired finisher’s medal and a Straw Hat Pirates’ Jolly Roger finisher’s towel, giving participants another keepsake as they bring out their inner Monkey D. Luffy.
