Boxing is a well-loved sport in the Philippines and beyond. It’s a showcase of discipline, stamina, and sheer determination. And one of our very own icons, Gabriel "Flash" Elorde, exemplified these qualities, becoming one of the greatest Filipino boxers of all time. Known for his lightning-fast reflexes and unwavering spirit, Elorde won the lineal super featherweight title in 1960 and later claimed the inaugural WBC and WBA super featherweight titles in 1963. He holds the record for the longest title reign in the super featherweight division, spanning an incredible seven years.
Just like in boxing, running requires endurance, speed, and an indomitable will to push past limits. This is why in 2025, MNL City Run presents Elorde The Flash Run, a race that takes the fight from the ring to the streets.
Honoring a boxing icon through the spirit of running
MNL City Run presents Elorde The Flash Run 2025: Run Like A Champ, an event inspired by the resilience and excellence of Elorde. This run serves as a tribute to his dedication, perseverance, and impact on Philippine sports, channeling his fighting spirit into the world of running.
The Flash Run 2025 is set to take place on May 11, 2025, at Central Park, Filinvest City, Alabang. With five diverse categories — 3K, 5K, 10K, 16K, and 21K — the event is designed to welcome runners of all ages and experience levels.
