Xiaomi is set to hold its Xiaomi POP Run at 3:30 a.m. on 24 October at Parqal in Aseana City, Manila, as running clubs and community fitness activities gain popularity among Filipinos.

The event, organized in partnership with RunRio, will feature race categories ranging from 5 kilometers to a 21-kilometer half-marathon, catering to both beginners and experienced runners.

Originally launched in 2018 as an online step-counting challenge, the Xiaomi POP Run has evolved into a community fitness event that combines physical activity with technology.

Participants can use Xiaomi smart bands to track their running performance, including their pace and strides. The event will also highlight the REDMI Note 17 Series, which the company promotes for outdoor use and content creation.

According to Xiaomi, the smartphone series features impact and water resistance, a high-megapixel main camera, an AMOLED display with a high refresh rate, and all-day battery life.

The company said the event aims to bring fitness enthusiasts and technology users together through shared activities and community engagement.
