CITY OF IMUS, Cavite – Sunlife Philippines returns to Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub on November 8, 2026 with an exciting new format for its signature health and wellness event. Formerly known as Cycle PH, Sunlife Bike & Run now brings together two disciplines in one event day, giving participants the choice to take on a Bike or a Run challenge that suits them best.
The expanded format welcomes cyclists, runners, young riders and families for a day centered on movement, wellness, and community. By adding a Run category to its established cycling program, the event creates more ways for friends and families to take part together, even if they choose different activities.
At the heart of Sunlife Bike & Run is a simple idea: participants can take on the active challenge that suits them best. They can choose to Bike or Run and make the experience their own. Cycling categories include 60KM, 45KM, 30KM and 15KM distances, while runners can take on the 5KM Run. Kids and families can also join through the 30-minute Kids Ride and Family Ride.e Tricycle Ride and Push Bike categories.
“The Sunlife Bike & Run is about making it easier for more Filipinos to get moving and make wellness part of everyday life,” said Carla Gonzalez-Chong, Chief Client Experience and Marketing Officer of Sunlife Philippines. “Whether you choose to bike, run, or enjoy the experience with your family, every step is a step towards a healthier, brighter future.”
Hosted at Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub in the City of Imus, the event continues to promote an active lifestyle while creating a welcoming environment for different ages, fitness levels and experience levels. The Bike courses take participants through Vermosa and sections of Daang Hari, while the 5KM Run and kids routes give more members of the community a way to experience event day.
The event is once again supported by Ayala Vermosa and Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub, which provide a purpose-built environment for sport, fitness and large community events.
Princess Galura of Sunrise Events, Inc., organizer of Sunlife Bike & Run, said the expanded format builds on the event’s cycling tradition while making the experience accessible to a wider community. “The strength of this event has always been its community. Expanding it into Bike & Run creates more ways for people to take part without losing the spirit that made Sunlife Cycle PH special. A cyclist can choose a longer ride, a beginner can start with a shorter distance, a runner can join without a bike, and families can have their own active moment on the same event day,” said Galura.
