Festive Walk Iloilo will turn its vibrant retail spaces into a dynamic fitness hub as it hosts its biggest in-mall community run on November 8, with more than 1,000 runners expected to join.

The event features a unique 7-kilometer route that spans the mall’s indoor corridors, starting at the Atrium Garden and stretching up to the third floor.

Open to everyone from first-time runners to seasoned athletes, the activity highlights community wellness, fun, and family bonding in an unconventional setting.

Partnering with Run Iloilo, a growing fitness movement in the region, Festive Walk Iloilo aims to promote active lifestyles and strengthen social connections through accessible wellness initiatives.

“Here at Festive Walk Iloilo, we are committed to be more than just a place for retail and leisure, but also a lifestyle destination that values health and social engagement,” said Megaworld Lifestyle Malls Cluster General Manager Camsy Elviña.

“With our Biggest In-Mall Community Run, we aim to champion wellness, inclusivity, and meaningful connections within the community,” she added.

Organizers plan to make the in-mall community run an annual tradition, redefining how retail spaces can support broader health and social goals.

Registration is free for all participants, who are encouraged to wear comfortable running attire suitable for indoor activity.

Following the run, participants can enjoy complimentary snacks and take part in a raffle featuring PHP 7,000 worth of gift certificates from Marriott Hotel Iloilo and PHP 3,000 worth of gift certificates from Richmonde Hotel Iloilo.

Runners are advised to arrive by 4:30 AM, with the run officially beginning at 5:00 AM to maximize comfort and safety.

By offering a fun and secure environment for physical activity, Festive Walk Iloilo contributes to larger urban mobility and public wellness efforts in the city.
