Long-distance runner Sam Gonzaga joined thousands of fitness enthusiasts in a major running event, setting new personal bests in the 10K, 21K, and 32K races.
“I just ran my fastest 10K and 21K and broke my 32K personal record, beating my Cebu Marathon 2025 splits. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to participate in this year’s run,” Gonzaga shared on social media.
He was among the thousands of runners from across the country who flocked to Alabang, Cebu, and Davao to take part in the 7-Eleven Run 2025, aiming to break personal records.
The event brought together runners of all levels, from seasoned athletes aiming for new milestones to casual participants embracing a more active lifestyle. With thousands lacing up their running shoes, the race underscored the growing appeal of endurance sports and the community it fosters.
For many, running is more than just a sport—it’s a way to challenge personal limits while staying physically and mentally fit. Corporate supporters also took part in the initiative, offering connectivity, activities, and promotions to enhance the experience for participants.
“We are grateful for the opportunity to once again support an event that promotes health and wellness among Filipinos,” said Christian So, assistant vice president and OIC-Head of National Key Accounts at Smart.
This is the eighth year that Smart has supported this initiative, powering the venues with connectivity and exciting booth activities and promos to delight runners.
