Takbo #ParaSaLife Wellness Run Heads to Cebu in 2026 After Manila Triumph
Home Credit Philippines (HCPH), in partnership with RunRio, is set to launch the Takbo #ParaSaLife run in Cebu for the first time on March 29, 2026. The event will take place at City di Mare, marking a significant expansion beyond Metro Manila as it enters its second year. This move brings Home Credit's wellness advocacy directly to the vibrant community of the Queen City of the South, aiming to promote healthier lifestyles among Filipinos.
Event Details and Community Focus
The Cebu leg of Takbo #ParaSaLife is designed to be inclusive, welcoming runners of all skill levels, including pet owners. Participants can choose from multiple categories: a 10-kilometer run, a 5K, a 3K, and a special 1K Pet Run. Sheila Paul, chief marketing officer of Home Credit Philippines, expressed enthusiasm about the expansion, stating, "We are thrilled to bring Takbo #ParaSaLife to Cebu. This event is more than just a run; it is a celebration of the vibrant community and our commitment to helping Filipinos live a better, healthier life." The initiative underscores the company's dedication to fostering wellness and active living across the Philippines.
Building on Manila Success
The Cebu event follows the highly successful Manila leg, which was held on February 1 at the SM Mall of Asia Complex and attracted over 4,500 participants. This strong turnout highlights the growing popularity of Takbo #ParaSaLife and sets a positive precedent for its debut in Cebu. By expanding to new regions, Home Credit and RunRio aim to reach a broader audience, encouraging more Filipinos to engage in fitness activities and embrace a holistic approach to health.
As anticipation builds, organizers are preparing for a large-scale turnout in Cebu, with expectations of drawing thousands of runners and pet enthusiasts. The event not only promotes physical activity but also strengthens community bonds, aligning with Home Credit's mission to support better living standards. With its focus on inclusivity and wellness, Takbo #ParaSaLife is poised to become a key fixture in the Philippine running calendar, inspiring healthier habits nationwide.
