With the help of running events organizer RUNRIO, Huawei organized a community run event, demonstrating its continued support of smart fitness. Last June 28, the community-run event took place at the imposing SM Mall of Asia Complex. a component of the "Active Rings: Enjoy Your Moment" campaign by Huawei.
Enjoy the Moment from Start to Finish Line
The community run brought together members of the run club as well as members of the Huawei Wearable community, who welcomed a morning of motivation and movement. HUAWEI's "Active Rings: Enjoy the Moment" campaign, which aims to inspire communities to lead healthier and more active lives, includes the Manila community run. The most recent in a series of international fitness competitions held in various places across the world was the Manila event.
For many, the initiative’s message resonated beyond physical activity. Lara Beriña, Engineer and Avid Runner Commended the initiative.
“‘Active Rings’ is such a smart and timely campaign. As an engineer, I’m obsessed with numbers and metrics, but this reminded me to be present and enjoy the journey. It wasn’t just about hitting goals—it was about celebrating the effort, the community, and the joy of movement. I’ve always been a classic watch kind of person. Wearing the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro for the first time completely changed how I ran. It helped me stay focused, track my progress, and push myself more than I normally would. It truly felt like I had a personal coach on my wrist.” ~Lara Beriña, Engineer and Avid Runner
Throughout the run, participants worked toward achieving their goals and closing each activity ring on the HUAWEI wearable devices. According to regular runner Addy Alajar, this made the run more fun and challenging.
“I’m a visual person, so seeing my progress like that keeps me going. It’s a simple but really motivating way to stay on track and know exactly what I still need to do.” ~Addy Alajar, Regular Runner
By the time they reached the finish line, most runners were able to close each of their activity rings, which added a sense of accomplishment to their experience.
The top three male and female finishers after the competitors have calmed down. With a time of 24 minutes and 31 seconds, Arielle Chantal Guado took first place in the women's division.
