Organized by Sip Plus Electrolyte Drink, the two-day competition officially sold out in less than two weeks after registration opened, reflecting the growing popularity of hybrid fitness racing in the country and the strong demand for community-driven fitness events.
Carrying the theme “Cross Your Limits,” Sip Plus Games 2026 will bring together runners, functional fitness athletes, weekend warriors, and first-time competitors in a race format designed to test both endurance and strength.
Adding to the excitement is the participation of Hong Beom Seok, widely recognized as the runner-up of Netflix’s Physical: 100 Season 2. Joining him on the competition floor are several of the country’s top endurance and hybrid racing athletes, including Sip Plus Ambassadors Mauro Lumba, Gabb Rosario, Fino Herrera, Beef Co, Marline Capones, and Aliana Lao, further elevating the level of competition and showcasing some of the most recognizable names in the local fitness community.
Unlike traditional running events, Sip Plus Games combines running with functional workout stations, creating a challenge that pushes participants beyond their comfort zones. Athletes will navigate nine run loops interspersed with demanding stations including the SkiErg, Farmers Carry, RowErg, Sandbag Lunges, Alternating Devil’s Press, Box Step Overs, BikeErg, and Wall Balls. In a unique twist that sets the event apart from many hybrid race formats, competitors must complete an additional final run loop after the Wall Balls station before crossing the finish line, ensuring that athletes are tested until the very last meter of the race.
What makes Sip Plus Games unique is that the competition format itself was conceptualized and developed exclusively by the Sip Plus Marketing Team. From the sequence of run segments and workout stations to the athlete flow and race experience, the entire game format was created in-house as part of the brand’s vision to build a distinctly Filipino hybrid fitness competition.
Unlike formats adapted from existing international races, Sip Plus Games was designed from the ground up to deliver its own identity and challenge. The race structure, station sequence, and final run segment after Wall Balls were intentionally developed by the Sip Plus team to create a competition that rewards both endurance and strategy while staying true to the event’s theme, “Cross Your Limits.”
Participants will compete across Solo Male, Solo Female, Male Duo, Female Duo, and Mixed Duo categories, creating opportunities for both elite athletes and everyday fitness enthusiasts to test their
limits on the same competition floor.
“Cross Your Limits” is more than a race theme—it is a challenge to every participant to discover what they are truly capable of,” said the organizers. “Whether you’re competing for a podium finish or simply aiming to complete the course, Sip Plus Games celebrates effort, resilience, and the pursuit of continuous improvement.”
The event arrives amid the rapid growth of hybrid racing across Asia, with more Filipinos embracing fitness competitions that blend running, strength, and functional performance. What was once considered a niche sport has evolved into a thriving community attracting athletes from diverse backgrounds.
Beyond creating a new competition platform, Sip Plus Games was established to make the hybrid racing experience more accessible to Filipinos. While many athletes previously had to travel overseas to participate in large-scale hybrid fitness competitions, Sip Plus Games brings a hybrid race experience closer to home. By combining professional race standards, competition-grade equipment from Official
Equipment Partner PlayHard, and an inclusive race format, the event provides local athletes the opportunity to experience the excitement and challenge of hybrid racing without the significant costs associated with international travel. This commitment to accessibility reflects Sip Plus’ mission of helping more Filipinos discover, participate in, and grow within the sport.
As the organizer and title sponsor, Sip Plus continues its commitment to championing active lifestyles and supporting the growth of the local fitness community through races, athlete partnerships, and wellness initiatives.
With a sold-out field of competitors, the participation of international fitness icon Hong Beom Seok, and a race format designed to challenge every aspect of athletic performance, Sip Plus Games 2026 is shaping up to be one of the country’s premier fitness events of the year.
