ASICS powers up RnR Series Manila

With the fifth staging of the AIA Rock ’n’ Roll Running Series Manila presented by ASICS just weeks away, the countdown is on as runners gear up for race day on 29 November at Luneta Park.

As presenting partner, ASICS continues to support the RNR Manila community beyond the starting line, bringing its founding philosophy of Sound Mind, Sound Body to life through initiatives that promote the positive impact of movement on both physical and mental well-being.

A key part of this commitment will be the Evo City Front Act Shake Out Run on 22 November in Kawit, Cavite, where the ASICS Run Club will help bring runners together for one final social run ahead of race weekend.

Designed as a relaxed yet energetic pre-race gathering, the shakeout run offers participants an opportunity to stay active, connect with fellow runners and soak in the excitement before taking on their respective race distances.

From training sessions and community runs to race-day support, ASICS aims to make the journey leading up to RNR Manila as meaningful as the event itself.

Runners can also gear up for the race through the ongoing RNR Exclusive ASICS promotion. Until 22 November, customers who make a single-receipt purchase of at least P10,990 worth of eligible regular-priced ASICS items at participating stores or through ASICS.com.ph may receive a complimentary Rock ’n’ Roll Manila race kit, subject to promotion terms, available race categories and supplies.

The offer gives runners an added opportunity to invest in their running essentials while securing a spot in this year's milestone edition.

On 29 November, participants across the marathon, half-marathon, AIA 10K, 5K and AIA 1K Kids categories will take to Manila's streets for a night race experience that brings together running, live entertainment and some of the city's most iconic landmarks.

Marking its fifth anniversary, Rock ’n’ Roll Manila puts Original Pilipino Music (OPM) at the heart of the celebration with this year's theme, “Kay Ganda ng Ating Musika.” In collaboration with National Artist for Music Ryan Cayabyab, the event pays tribute to Filipino music across generations, with commemorative medals inspired by his musical works and iconic Manila landmarks.

The celebration will extend beyond the course, with music and entertainment along the route and into the finish-line festivities, culminating in a headline performance by acclaimed Filipino band Ben&Ben.
