“The Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition Doubles” grand winner Bryan Castillo, meanwhile, was joined by some of his former co-contestants in leading the run’s warm-up exercises.

The event was mounted by Run Rio, headed by running coach Rio Dela Cruz, with ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya Foundation as proponent, and supported by the city government of Taguig. It was filled with fun and excitement as the runners were sprinkled with colored powder and a giant inflatable slide was erected for them.

DZMM started organizing fun runs in 1999.
