J.CO Run Philippines
After six years of success in Indonesia, J.CO is finally bringing this event to the Philippines, emphasizing the balance between staying active, enjoying treats without guilt, and sharing moments with like-minded individuals. Hoping to replicate the same level of success and deliver a meticulously organized race, J.CO has partnered with Runrio Events Inc., a premier race organizer in the Philippines that is capable of handle thousands of runners.
Within 24 hours, registration filled up for the initial 3,000 participants. Because of the overwhelming demand, an additional 3,000 slots were opened, and were quickly filled up within just 15 minutes. Participants can choose between 3K, 5K, and 12K distances–with the 12K added specially to commemorate J.CO’s 12th anniversary.
Registered runners will receive a Race Kit that includes a J.CO Running Shirt, Race BIB Number, J.CO Tote Bag, Donuts, Iced Lemon Tea, and exclusive Finisher Medals.The event will also feature engaging surprises along the race route, dedicated photo spots at the activity village, and sponsor loot bags as keepsakes.
Adding to the excitement, celebrity hosts Juancho Triviño and Joyce Pring were present during the press conference, sharing their thoughts on fitness and expressing their enthusiasm to join the run on November 10.
“We are both excited to be part of the first-ever J.CO Run in the Philippines! Fitness is about finding joy in movement, and events like this bring a sense of community and motivation. We can’t wait to run alongside thousands of people, enjoy the treats, and celebrate wellness together,” said Pring.
“For us, fitness is about balance—staying active while still enjoying life’s little indulgences. That’s why we are looking forward to the J.CO Run. It’s not just about running but embracing a healthy, joyful lifestyle. We’re both eager to be part of this event on November 10, sharing the fun and energy with everyone and create a memorable experience. Let’s make this a yearly tradition,” Triviño added.

It’s the perfect way to reward yourself after a morning of fitness and fun, blending the joy of movement with the indulgence of J.CO’s beloved flavors.
