Sun Life Invites Runners and Cyclists to its Sunpiology Duo

Sun Life Financial Philippines is gearing up for its yearly fun run event and there's a new twist. In addition to the fun run, a cycling event will also be held thus, the Sunpiology Duo.

The #SunpiologyDUO will have two major events - the Sun Life Cycle PH @ BGC and the Sun Life Resolution Run. Each event will take place on a separate date and location. 

Sun Life Cycle PH 

The Sun Life Cycle PH is set on November 18, 2017 at the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig. This is in partnership with Sunrise Events, Inc., known for its flagship projects that focus on race organization and sports tourism. The two companies recently signed a contract in Shangri-La Mactan in Cebu, with Sun Life CEO and Country Head Riza Mantaring, Sun Life brand ambassador Piolo Pascual, Sunrise Founder Wilfred Uytengsu, and Sunrise General Manager Princess Galura in attendance.

“We recognize cycling’s growing popularity in the Philippines, and this is our share in helping encourage more people to get into the sport,” Sun Life Chief Marketing Officer Mylene Lopa said. “Just as it is in our fun run, Sun Life Cycle PH will cater to different ages and will offer different categories.”

Cycling enthusiasts can join in any of the seven categories:

• Tricycle Ride (100 meters for 2-3 year olds)
• Kids’ Ride (500 meters for 4-5 year olds)
• Family Ride (30 minutes for 6-15 year olds with adult companion)
• Solo Ride (30 minutes for 6-15 years old)
• Short Distance Ride (20km for 10 years old and above)
• Long Distance Ride (40km for 10 years old and above).
• Bid2Bike with celebrity bikers

Bid2Bike is a charity category which will allow fans of Piolo Pascual, Matteo Guidicelli, Inigo Pascual, Gerald Anderson, and other Star Magic celebrities to bid for a chance to bike alongside their idols, have an exclusive photo souvenir, and have their jersey signed. For cycling enthusiasts, they can bid to ride with legend Robbie McEwen.

Sun Life Resolution Run

The Sun Life Resolution Run, on the other hand, will take place on January 20, 2018. As with previous years, Sun Life is partnering with Run Rio and will offer 3k, 5k, and 10k categories. It features an obstacle course that illustrates the steps to prevent diabetes, like watching what you eat and why exercise is important. More details will be revealed in the coming months, which includes an expanded payment facility like PayPal and DragonPay.

Registration for both races is now open. Just visit www.sunpiology.com and sign up.

Sun Life stressed that although their focus is on physical fitness, Sunpiology Duo will retain its charitable components. It will continue to raise funds for the different causes it has been supporting for the past seven years. These include the education of scholars from Hebreo 12:1 Foundation and Star Magic’s chosen charities. It will also continue to be a star-studded activity, with Star Magic celebrities and ambassadors of Sun Life’s wellness community GoWell, expected to participate.

More companies have signified their support for the Sunpiology events. F2P, Powerade, Rudy Project, Cignal, Philippine Star, 2Go, Alcopllus, and Garmin are the new sponsors for the Sun Life Cycleph @BGC.
