CITY OF MALOLOS — Despite the heavy rain brought by the southwest monsoon, the spirit of at least 5,500 runners from across Bulacan remained undampened as they gathered at SM Center Pulilan for the Bulacan Marathon held on Sunday (August 9).
Organized by Team Malofit and Pairfect Fit, with SM Center Pulilan as its official venue, the event brought together athletes and running enthusiasts in a major showcase of speed, fitness, and community spirit.
The premier running event featured four race categories—42K, 21K, 10K, and 5K—welcoming runners with varying levels of experience and athletic ability.
Braving the pouring rain, participants pushed their limits and put their agility, endurance, discipline, and determination to the test as they took on their respective distances, from seasoned marathoners tackling the full 42-kilometer race to recreational and first-time runners joining the 5K category.
The Bulacan Marathon was more than just a test of physical strength; it also recognized runners’ solidarity and sportsmanship. The event provided a platform for the running community to meet, encourage one another, and celebrate their shared enthusiasm for an active and healthy lifestyle.
The activity also supports SM Active Hub, the premier sports and fitness initiative by SM Supermalls, which offers a dynamic and inclusive environment for sports lovers across the Philippines.
