2GO Reyna Bulakna Run Returns: A 5KM Celebration of Strength, Style, and Self-Expression
LAPU-LAPU CITY, PHILIPPINES, 8 August 2025 – The IRONMAN 70.3 Lapu-Lapu weekend kicks off with power and personality at the 2GO Reyna Bulakna Run, the all-inclusive 5KM fun run at the Liberty Shrine (Lapu-Lapu Shrine).
With race kits which included shirts, pompoms and accessories to jazz up their outfits, participants brought out extra flair to the race route. Many took their creativity up a notch at the DIY shirt styling station located at the venue’s Mactan Newtown Beach, all while vying for the coveted Best Dressed Award.
The vibrant and high-energy 5KM fun run kept racers refreshed with drinks from Amlan and ION+ throughout the course. It concluded with participants celebrating their finish at the Community Market, where they enjoyed warm, mouthwatering meals of their choice using a ₱100 food voucher.

“We are honored to take part in such an inspiring event in Cebu, especially one that carries deep cultural significance. At 2GO, we believe that logistics is not just about moving cargo. It is about creating opportunities, enabling meaningful experiences, and helping communities grow across the Philippines. The 2GO Reyna Bulakna Run reflects these values by bringing people together, creating shared moments, and showing how logistics can connect lives in purposeful and impactful ways,” said Faye Alonzo, 2GO Forwarding Business Unit Head.
Named after the legendary warrior queen of Mactan, Reyna Bulakna, the run celebrates courage, culture, and community. This isn’t just a race — it’s an invitation for everyone to move, shine, and show up as they are. Open to all genders and fitness levels, the event welcomes individuals, families, and groups to run, walk, or dance their way to the finish line.
