2GO, the Philippines’ largest integrated logistics provider, kicked off the Kadayawan Festivities with the Gwapa Dabawenya run on August 9. In partnership with Sunrise Events, this fun run attracted an astonishing 2,200 participants, marking 2GO’s first-ever fun run in Davao and the first event to debut on the city’s new coastal road.
The overwhelming response, with 2,200 tickets selling out within just two days, underscores the excitement surrounding the event and the growing fitness culture in Davao City. The Gwapa Dabawenya run also set the tone for the IRONMAN Davao series, where 2GO played a vital role by providing logistical support for the event, which took place over the same weekend.
“Our involvement in Gwapa Dabawenya and IRONMAN Davao reinforces our commitment to promoting economic growth in Davao by moving goods and supporting major events. We’re not only easing movement within the city but also encouraging trade across the region and the country,” said Faye Alonzo, Business Unit Head of 2GO Forwarding.
Princess Galura, General Manager of Sunrise Events and organizer of the Gwapa Dabawenya run, also expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, saying, “We are thrilled with the success of the Gwapa Dabawenya and IRONMAN Davao and the overwhelming response from the Davao community. Partnering with 2GO allowed us to seamlessly execute the events, and their logistics support was invaluable in ensuring everything ran smoothly. We look forward to future collaborations that will continue to promote health and wellness across the Philippines.”

We are thrilled to be part of these significant events and to showcase our logistics expertise in helping people celebrate Davao City’s vibrant culture.”
In addition to its role as a sponsor, 2GO also achieved an impressive 5th place overall in the recently concluded IRONMAN Davao. This accomplishment underscores 2GO’s dedication to both fitness and community engagement, further solidifying its presence in Davao and Mindanao.
