Galaxy Watch Marathon: Fitness and Adventure Unite in Cebu

The Galaxy Watch Marathon, spearheaded by Samsung Philippines and RUNRIO, is set to continue its groundbreaking journey of merging wellness and tourism. Following the success of its Manila leg, this two-leg event transitions to the scenic beauty of Cebu for its much-anticipated second installment.

A Marathon Beyond Running

The Galaxy Watch Manila Marathon captivated over 8,000 participants from 30 countries, offering runners a unique experience that combined fitness with heritage. Participants traversed iconic landmarks such as Jones Bridge, the Binondo-Intramuros Bridge, and the historic walled city of Intramuros, blending Manila’s culture with wellness goals.

Now, the marathon shifts to Cebu, the Queen City of the South, promising a breathtaking route along the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway and through Citi de Mare. Scheduled for November 24, 2024, this half-marathon aims to inspire participants to challenge themselves while basking in Cebu’s coastal charm. Registration is still open through the event’s official website.

Championing Wellness and Sports Tourism

As a testament to Samsung’s dedication to holistic health, Chelsea Quing, Samsung Electronics Philippines’ Product Marketing Manager for Wearables, emphasized the broader mission of the event:

“We aim to boost sports tourism while promoting healthier, more sustainable lifestyles for Filipinos. The Galaxy Watch Marathon combines cutting-edge technology with fitness to empower participants.”
