The 7-Eleven Run Series returns stronger as it marks its 14th installment with simultaneous races in Manila, Cebu, and Davao from January 31 to February 1, 2026. The event continues the tradition that began in 2013 when 7-Eleven launched the Run 800 to celebrate the opening of its 800th store.
Project Head for Exclusives and Special Events Michele Saludes recalled how the annual run grew into one of the country’s most anticipated sporting events. “After its successful inception, the annual run series was held ever since from 2014 to 2017,” she said. By 2018, the company expanded the run to Cebu and Davao following strong clamor from runners outside Metro Manila.
The three-city format continued through 2019. During the pandemic years, 7-Eleven shifted to online runs to keep participants safe. Despite restrictions, many still joined from their homes and nearby fields. Through the support of local governments, 7-Eleven also delivered run care packages and provided Cliqq Wallet credits to selected frontliners nationwide.
The run returned on-ground for its 10th and 11th editions, drawing almost 37,000 runners across the country. Saludes noted how participants appreciated the booths, giveaways, and experiences prepared by sponsors.
As part of its commitment to customers, 7-Eleven also offered free registration for the 711-meter kids’ run for kids aged 7 to 11. For 2026, the company is expanding this into the 711 Meter Buddy Run, encouraging children and companions to join together.
Another hallmark of the series is its support for Filipino athletes. Winners of the 21K, 32K, and 42K categories have represented the Philippines in international marathons including those in Cambodia, Seoul, Phuket, Laguna, Jeju, and Thailand. “We give our Filipino runners the chance to compete in international competitions,” Saludes said, noting that Cebu’s Mary Joy Tabal is among the notable alumni.
For Run 2026, organizers are targeting 59,000 participants—32,000 in Manila, 17,000 in Cebu, and 10,000 in Davao.
