Color Manila held a fun run early Sunday at the SM Mall of Asia Open Grounds in Pasay City. The organizers expected around 12,000 runners to participate in the annual event, which aims to promote a healthier lifestyle.

According to the organizers, Color Manila encourages everyone to run, “to illustrate to non-runners how enjoyable the sport is.”

Runners participating in the races—3K, 5K, 10K, and 21K—gathered in the early hours of Sunday morning, starting with white Color Manila T-shirts. The runners were pelted with colored powder as they crossed the finish line, and ended the event by celebrating their achievement in one big crowd, cheering and taking selfies.
