Organized by RUNRIO in partnership with the Department of Tourism (DOT), the Galaxy Watch Manila Marathon will take place at the SM Mall of Asia Complex, featuring a route through iconic landmarks and vibrant neighborhoods to celebrate Manila’s rich heritage and dynamic spirit. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Watch Cebu Half-Marathon will start and end at City di Mare by Filinvest, allowing participants to enjoy the scenic seascape of Cebu as they pass through the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway, the country’s longest and tallest bridge.

To help runners learn the fundamentals of competitive running and train for the races, Samsung has launched the Galaxy Watch Run Club, starting with a kickoff event in Makati City. This six-session program aims to enhance performance and camaraderie through training and fitness challenges, utilizing advanced metrics from the Galaxy Watch Ultra and Watch7. These devices feature an advanced Dual Frequency GPS system for mapping routes and tracking real-time positioning, as well as performance tracking functions like the Watch Ultra’s Multi-sports Tile for triathlon workouts and the Galaxy Watch7’s Workout Routine feature with over 100 workout tracking options and personalized fitness plans.

Members of the Galaxy Run Club also receive exclusive discounts on these devices, further enriching their training experience. The club is expanding to Cebu, offering 20% off marathon registration for completing three sessions and additional rewards for completing five sessions.

The Galaxy Watch Ultra is the ultimate fitness companion, featuring a Titanium Grade 4 frame, 10ATM water resistance, and a Dynamic Lug System for comfort during extreme activities. It also includes new Functional Threshold Power (FTP) for cycling, AI-powered metrics, a Quick Button for instant workout starts, and the longest battery life in the Galaxy Watch series. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Watch7 delivers comprehensive health insights, including advanced sleep analysis, real-time heart rate monitoring, ECG, BP tracking, and an AGEs Index for metabolic health insights, thanks to its BioActive Sensor.

“Samsung aims to inspire users to improve their lifestyle with Galaxy AI in our mobile and ecosystem devices, providing Filipinos with personalized insights to enhance their wellness routines,” said Samsung Electronics Philippines Head of Mobile Experience Blue Avelino. “We’re also excited to foster fitness communities, as seen in our Run Club launch and participation in the Manila Marathon and Cebu Half-Marathon, reflecting our commitment to the running community.”
