How to Gear Up for the RUNRIO Pride Run with the Best Mall Shops at SM Supermalls

The RUNRIO Pride Run is just around the corner, and SM Supermalls is proud to be part of this vibrant celebration of identity, community, and movement. Mark your calendars! It’s happening on June 8 in Davao, June 21 in Manila, and June 28 in Cebu. Whether you're a seasoned pacer or stepping up to your first starting line, this is your invitation to show up fully, run proud, and go all out.

Here's how to build a race-day look and kit that keeps up with every kilometer.

Start with Skin That Can Keep Up

Stay protected throughout the run with BLK’s tinted sunscreen, available in both stick and cream formats to suit your race-day routine.

Running outdoors means sun, sweat, and a full morning on your feet, so your skin prep needs to work just as hard as you do. The BLK Tinted Sunscreen is a smart race-day pick. It is both lightweight and SPF-ready for the Manila, Cebu, or Davao heat. It is also tinted, so it evens out your complexion. Think of it as your base layer before any color even touches your face.

Wear Your Colors, Own the Run

Mall events like the RUNRIO Pride Run are the perfect excuse to dress with intention, and your makeup is part of the statement. 

Get creative with the GRWM Cosmetics Face Card Shadowplay - Colorplay Velvet Matte Eyeshadow (available in SM Megamall, SM North Edsa, SM Mall of Asia, and SM Makati), available in individual shades you can mix and match to build your own rainbow. Pick shades that speak to your story, your flag, or just the colors that make you feel like yourself out there.

Layer in the Vice Cosmetics Longwear Liquid Eyeliner for a liner pop that photographs beautifully, whether you're going subtle or full graphic. 

Finish with the Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High (which you can find in SM Beauty or LOOK At Me) for length and definition that stays comfortable through every stride. Its lightweight formula means your lashes feel lifted without weighing you down when it counts.

From the starting line to the finish-line photo, keep your makeup looking its best with GRWM Cosmetics. Reach for the HydraMist Multi-Action Setting Spray (right) for a hydrated glow or the Long-Wear Ultra Matte Fixing Spray (left)for a smooth, shine-free finish that lasts.

Finally, before you head out the door, finish with a few spritzes of the GRWM Setting Spray to lock everything in place. From the gun start to the race village cooldown, your look stays put. No touch-ups, no fading, just a fresh finish from start to finish.

Know What's Already in Your Race Kit

Gear up for a colorful run with exclusive race-day essentials, including a commemorative singlet, a versatile race scarf, and a matching bandana for your four-legged bestie!

Before you shop, it helps to know what's already coming your way. Every registered runner receives a race singlet and a race scarf as part of their kit, so you're already starting with something to build your look around. Bringing your dog along for the 1KM dog run? Your furry co-runner gets their own dog bandana, which honestly might be the most adorable part of race day. 

The finish line is just the beginning. Celebrate your achievement with a sparkling finisher's medal,
an exclusive 16KM finisher shirt, and a commemorative loot bag that's worthy of your Pride Run victory.

For those going the distance, a fabulous medal, a finisher's shirt, and a lootbag full of surprises are yours for the taking. It’s even more of a reason to train a little harder between now and race day.

Gear That Moves With You

The right shorts can make or break a race, especially once the kilometers start stacking up. The Kiprun 500 Split Shorts are built for runners who want maximum freedom and breathability. The split-leg cut gives you that extra range of motion, which matters when you're pushing your pace.

Every runner has a preference. The Kiprun 500 Split Shorts (left) deliver lightweight comfort and unrestricted movement,while the Kiprun 2-in-1 Running Shorts (right) combine breathability with built-in support for all-day confidence on the road.

Prefer a little more coverage? The Kiprun 2-in-1 Running Shorts layer a built-in inner short beneath the outer layer, reducing chafe and adding confidence for longer distances. It's a small detail that makes a big difference by the time you're crossing the finish line.

These are exactly the kind of performance finds worth checking out at mall shopping stores like Decathlon, available at SM. A quick stop at your mall near me before race week can set you up with everything you need in one go.

Shoes That Match the Energy

The ASICS Noosa Tri 16 was practically made for an event like this. Its bold colorways and lightweight, responsive build fit the celebratory spirit of Pride perfectly. If you want your shoes to be part of the look, this is it.

From bold and eye-catching to comfortable and versatile, the ASICS Noosa Tri 16 (left) and adidas Galaxy 7 (right) prove that race-day footwear can be both functional and expressive.

For runners who want something more accessible without sacrificing comfort, the adidas Galaxy 7 Women's is a solid choice. It's reliable, versatile, and a great option whether you're training for your first race or showing up to cheer someone on in style. Both are also available at Sports Central in SM mall locations.

Don't Skip the Socks

It sounds minor, but the right socks can genuinely change how your run feels. 

Add a pop of color to your race-day ensemble with adidas RunxCushioned (left) and RunxBoost Socks (right),
combining cushioned comfort and standout style for every kilometer ahead.

The adidas RunxCushioned Socks add extra padding in the zones that take the most impact, while the adidas RunxBoost Socks offer a snug, supportive fit with moisture-wicking properties that help keep your feet dry as temperatures climb. Either way, pair them well and your feet will thank you.

Make It a Full SM Experience

Getting ready for the RUNRIO Pride Run doesn't have to be a solo sprint. SM Supermalls brings everything together under one roof, from mall shops carrying your race-day beauty picks, to sports and lifestyle stores stocked with performance gear. Check the mall directory for your nearest branch, browse current mall deals and mall promos before race week, and make a proper day of it.

Things to do in SM go well beyond the race itself. Fuel up at the SM Foodcourt, grab your gear, and celebrate after the run with the people who showed up with you. And if the RUNRIO Pride Run leaves you with a taste for more, SM Active Hub keeps the momentum going long after the finish line. It's your home base for running and active lifestyle events at SM, so the community you find on race day doesn't have to end there.

The RUNRIO Pride Run is more than a race. It's a declaration. So gear up, show up, and take it to the max, one colorful kilometer at a time.
