JCI Manila Brings Color, Carnival, and Advocacy to the Mental Health Run

Fitness and festivity come together for a meaningful cause as Colorfest Asia and JCI Manila announce the Colorfest Carnival Run, set for May 31, 2026, at the SM Mall of Asia Complex.

More than just a fun run, Colorfest transforms movement into a full-blown celebration, pairing music, color, and carnival energy with a strong message of mental health awareness. Participants can choose from 1K, 3K, 5K, 10K, and 21K categories, making the event welcoming for seasoned runners, fitness enthusiasts, families, kids, and first-time participants alike.

Organized by HyveSports, the run offers a series of vibrant stations and entertainment zones along the route, ending in a lively finish-line festival. The experience is designed not only to get hearts pumping but also to lift spirits and foster connection.

Advocacy remains at the heart of the event. In collaboration with the Philippine Mental Health Association (PHMA), part of the proceeds will go toward programs supporting mental health education and community wellness initiatives.

“The Colorfest Carnival Run is more than crossing the finish line,” a JCI Manila representative shared. “It’s about creating a safe, joyful space where people can move together, connect, and support mental wellness in meaningful ways.”

As awareness of mental health continues to grow, JCI Manila aims to position Colorfest as a lifestyle event with purpose — encouraging Filipinos to take steps for both their physical and mental well-being. By keeping the run approachable, fun, and full of energy, organizers hope to make fitness inclusive and inspiring.

HyveSports ensures that the vibrant carnival atmosphere will not compromise safety or organization, with professional race management and well-planned course protocols in place throughout the SM MOA Complex.

Registration is now open, inviting everyone to join friends, family, and colleagues for this colorful celebration of movement and advocacy. On May 31, 2026, every step will carry intention, and every splash of color will symbolize hope for a healthier, happier community.
