Biggest Celebration of International Women’s Day at the 2026 FCC Women’s Run PH at SM MOA

Metro Manila, Philippines – Thousands of runners took to the streets of Pasay in a display of strength, grace, and honor as the 2026 FCC Women’s Run PH returned with a sold-out field of 16,500 participants.  

In partnership with the Filipina CEO Circle (FCC) as title sponsor, and SM Supermalls as co-presenter, Women’s Run PH continues to champion spaces where women can move freely, support one another, and build confidence through running and community-building.

Founded by Nicole de la Cruz, the running series continues to inspire Filipina women to celebrate women, wellness, and community through running. 

Supporting this shared mission are partners who believe in uplifting women at every stride, including official hydration partner – ReFresh Mineral Water, official electrolyte drink partner – HydroAid, official e-commerce platform – TikTok Shop, and official shoe partner – HOKA. 

Participants competed across four race distances: 1KM Kids Dash, 5KM, 10KM, and 16KM, showcasing both competitive excellence and personal milestones.

In the 16KM Category, Mea Gey Niñura led the field with a strong and decisive finish. Maricar Camacho placed second, while Nikka Panlaqui completed the podium. Meanwhile, for the 10KM Category, Decerie Encomio secured first place with a standout performance, followed by Marjorie Denise Manguiat in second place and Jo Punay in third.

The 5KM Female Category saw Mary Jane Pagayon claim the top spot, with Bernadette Sales finishing second and Clariechel Gallardo taking third place. Finally, starting strong and young, Charmaine Sadongdong led the category for the children, followed by Allysa Rianna De Fiesta and Alixandra Bian Amor Alih respectively. 

Beyond the race results, the event also celebrated the spirit of collective participation during the International Women’s Month. Award was given to the biggest company delegation, which was won by Schneider Electric, recognizing the organization that mobilized the most participants for the event. Moreover, the award for the biggest run club delegation was claimed by 5AM Gang 

Run Club, highlighting the strong presence of the local running community in supporting women’s fitness and empowerment. 

From the first wave of runners at the starting line to the final finishers crossing the arch, the event was filled with cheers, encouragement, and moments of triumph. 

Following the overwhelming response to this sold-out race, the movement continues later this year. Women’s Run PH returns on Oct. 25 at Ayala Triangle Gardens, where another community of women runners is expected to gather for another meaningful and empowering run to celebrate women and raise awareness on women’s health and wellness.
