Sun Life brings in more than 1,000 cyclists to Cavite event

CITY OF IMUS, Cavite | April 8, 2024 – Sun Life Cycle Ph opens the wide roads of Imus exclusively for families and friends to enjoy each other’s company and share their love for the cycling on yesterday, April 7, 2024.

Every year, more and more attendees gather, some as young as one year old, with Sun Life ambassadors Piolo Pascual and Raven Rigor in the lead. The event features a 60 km individual and corporate ride, a 45 km ride, and a 30 km ride.

Kid-friendly biking paths also give a chance for families to bond with 500-meter kids’ solo rides and even rides with parents.

Imus City Mayor Alex Advincula said, “Cavite will always be a home for families to enjoy events and activities that encourage a healthier and happier quality of life.”

“For five years, we have partnered with Sun Life and IRONMAN Philippines towards this goal. We are excited for another day of fun which could also inspire the community in a positive way,” he added.

This year, Sun Life continues to champion this goal and continues to be an advocate of health and wellness in the community with efforts that ensure accessible healthcare within barangays and remote areas.

The firm also supports events that not only challenge individual  athletes and hobbyists, but also encourage the local community towards an active and quality lifestyle.

Carla Gonzalez-Chong, Chief Client Experience & Marketing Officer of Sun Life said of the event: “Through the years, Cycle PH has established a distinct identity in the local cycling  scene: a family and beginner- friendly event that aims to infuse the love of physical movement as  a way of prioritizing one’s health and well-being. We look forward to new memories we can create together on the road this Sunday.”

With the support of Sun Life, the organizers were able to hold the Tres Ocho campaign which encouraged women who would otherwise not have thought of joining a cycling activity by opening  registration for 38 pesos during the International Women’s Day.

Princes Galura, Regional Director of IRONMAN Philippines said of this effort, “Ultimately, we have the positive impact of our events for the community in mind. Along with the City of Imus and the title sponsor Sun Life, we hope to promote inclusivity and encourage women participation in sporting events.” This year marked the largest number of female participants in Cycle Ph events. 
