SM Supermalls partners with RunRio to launch First Pride Run

by Info @Brand Zone | May 30, 2024




When was the last time you joined a run where the winners would strut down a catwalk during the evening’s awarding ceremony? A run where rainbow confetti and drummers would herald the start of the early morning run? Or a run where there’s also a Best in Costume prize? That kind of fun during an official run is all happening this Pride Month on June 22!


SM Supermalls is working with RunRio to mount the first ever Pride Run 2024 during the early morning of June 22 at SM by the Bay, SM MOA Complex. This is a testament to SM Supermalls’ commitment to inclusivity and championing its malls as safe spaces - for women, children, and the LGBTQIA+ community.




The Pride Run 2024 press conference held at SM Megamall brought together partners who value diversity and inclusion.


From L-R: Pantay Chairperson Thysz Estrada, LoveYourselfPH Executive Director Ronivin Pagtakhan, RunRio President and CEO Rio de la Cruz, SM Supermalls SVP for Marketing Joaquin San Agustin, BingoPlus Foundation Executive Director Angela Camins Wieneke, and Metro Manila Pride Organization Community Engagement and Management Co-Lead Ashley Jaye Milag.


To promote equality and acceptance, the big SM Supermalls idea was to mount fun, health-oriented activities and events. The Pride Run invites members of LGBTQIA+ community, their families and allies, their friends, and casual to serious runners to participate in the 3k, 5k, and 10k runs.


With RunRio organizing the run, you know it will be professionally organized. Each runner will receive a Pride Run singlet, a race bib, and a timing chip. There are finisher’s medals specially designed for this maiden event. And if you’re physically unable to join the run, but want to support the cause, there’s a virtual run that you can participate in.

It’s all about inclusivity and the idea of safe spaces where one can express oneself without fear. This has always been something that SM Supermalls espouses and champions, and if this can be reinforced in a fun way, so much the better.
