Manila, Philippines (January 18, 2026) — Admiral Hotel Manila – MGallery Collection successfully hosted Heart Beats Run 2026, a purpose-driven wellness event that brought together 80 guests for a morning of movement, connection, and community.
The event began with an Anta Shoe Trial, setting the tone for a mindful yet dynamic run experience. Participants then completed a 5-kilometer awareness run along Roxas Boulevard, one of Metro Manila’s most iconic waterfront routes—celebrating fitness, camaraderie, and a shared commitment to making every step and every heartbeat count.
Following the run, guests were welcomed to a Recovery Party at Coconut Grove, hosted by the hotel. The post-run experience featured wellness and recovery-focused activities, including ice baths, physiotherapy sessions, and a hearty and healthy breakfast, allowing participants to recharge and reconnect in a relaxed, uplifting setting.
Originally conceptualized in 2025 in celebration of World Heart Day, Heart Beats Run was designed to spotlight the importance of heart health—both physical and emotional. While the initial schedule was postponed due to unpredictable weather conditions, the pause only strengthened the initiative’s purpose. Finally realized on January 18, 2026, the run became a powerful reminder that when hearts continue to beat with intention, meaningful initiatives always find their way forward. The name “Heart Beats Run” reflects not only the rhythm of movement, but also the collective heartbeat of a community united by wellness, resilience, and impact.
At the heart of this initiative is its partnership with Girls Got Game, a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering young girls through sport and movement. By championing confidence, resilience, and opportunity, Girls Got Game uses athletics as a platform to inspire leadership, self-belief, and positive social change. Every stride taken during the run directly supported this meaningful advocacy.
