Movement, music, and Manila’s festival energy are set to come together once again at AIA Rock ’n’ Roll Running Series Manila 2025, a much-anticipated run that makes fitness, live music, and local culture feel like one big celebration. As participants gear up, AIA Philippines steps in as this year’s Title Sponsor, bringing simple, enjoyable, and accessible wellness touchpoints throughout the race course.
The 10KM and 1KM Kids distances are officially named AIA 10KM and AIA 1KM Kids. AIA Brand Ambassadors Solenn Heussaff and Wil Dasovich will be lacing up for the AIA 10KM run, together with invited creators and key opinion leaders who will run alongside participants and connect with communities throughout the event.
“At AIA Philippines, we want health to feel achievable and fun, so it becomes something people can actually enjoy, not stress over,” shared Melissa Henson, AIA Philippines’ Chief Marketing Officer. “This kind of experience is a reminder that staying healthy doesn’t have to be overly structured or intimidating; it can be fun, social, and something you look forward to.”
What to Expect from AIA on Race Day
AIA Philippines will be present throughout the experience, from the starting line all the way to the finish festival. The day will open with warm-up activities to help runners prepare comfortably, followed by AIA Philippines’ on-course Hot Zones, where runners can enjoy small boosts, smiles, cheers, and surprises from different themed stations, such as reward vouchers, music-powered motivation, and even photo-worthy stops to capture milestone moments along the route.
As they move through the course, runners can look forward to lively performances and creative on-ground entertainment, turning every stretch of the route into a uniquely local, high-spirited experience inspired by Manila’s culture and community.
After crossing the finish line, participants are invited to head to the AIA Rethink Healthy Zone, a post-run recovery and experience area designed to help them rest, refuel, and recharge. Here, runners can explore simple wellness activities, enjoy refreshments, take photos, and check out partner booths, including MediCard Philippines, AIA Philippines’ healthcare arm, for light health checks, perks, and post-run treats.
Music to Close Out the Day
The celebration continues with live performances from The Itchyworms, Gracenote, Basti Artadi, and DJ Marc Marasigan, setting a relaxed, music-filled atmosphere for runners, families, and friends to enjoy together after completing their distance.
“Activities like the AIA Rock n Roll Run show how powerful it can be when people move and show up together,” added Henson. “We want to help Filipinos live healthier, longer, better lives in ways that feel accessible, shared, and inspired, not pressured. Having different members of the community – families, friends, experienced runners and beginners enjoy the experience side by side turns it into something truly meaningful.”
The AIA Rock ’n’ Roll Running Series Manila will be held on Saturday, 29 November 2025 in Manila. The event is mounted locally by Sunrise Events Inc., the official race organizer.
Registration and event details are available through AIA Philippines’ official digital platforms and social media channels.
