In celebration of International Women’s Month this March, the Filipina CEO Circle (FCC) will host the 2025 FCC Women’s Run.
Designed to unite and empower women from all walks of life, the event returns this year to motivate and inspire participants.
Building on the success of the previous year, the upcoming run promises to be bigger than ever. During a press conference on Jan. 22, Women’s Run PH founder and president Nicole de la Cruz expressed her ambition to surpass last year’s record of 5,300 participants and reach 8,000 runners this year.
“That is something that I have to work on [to reach the 8,000 mark]. It is up to the dedication and will that I put into the event. Last year, I was ambitious, and this year, a lot are registering now. We hope to reach the target,” de la Cruz said.
De la Cruz also emphasized the power of running as a form of empowerment, highlighting the sense of fulfillment and achievement that comes with crossing the finish line.
“When you cross the finish line, you can sense fulfillment, achievement—those are the things that you want a woman to feel,” she added.
The FCC, an organization composed of leading female business executives in the Philippines, sponsors the event as part of its mission to inspire and uplift women in various industries. This year’s run introduces a new 16-kilometer category for those seeking a greater challenge.
Set for March 9 at the Mall of Asia Concert Grounds, the event offers multiple race categories, including a 1-kilometer kids’ dash, 5-kilometer and 10-kilometer women’s runs, and a new “Buddy Category,” which allows participants to register in pairs for a more interactive experience.
Co-presented by SM Supermalls, the run aligns with the company’s commitment to promoting inclusivity and supporting women’s empowerment through meaningful initiatives. The event is also powered by Ion+ as the Official Electrolyte Partner, ensuring that participants remain hydrated and energized throughout the race.
Adding a special touch, finishers will receive a unique “twistable” medal and will be greeted by a group of gentlemen presenting flowers at the finish line.
With growing community support and an increasing number of participants, Women’s Run PH continues to be a strong platform for showcasing the resilience, determination, and strength of women in the Philippines and beyond.
