Actors and fitness enthusiasts Kristoffer Martin and Jon Lucas are among the celebrities joining the first-ever 'Sparkle Run 2026,' where they hope to connect with fans while promoting health and wellness.

The inaugural Sparkle Run officially kicked off today, May 30, drawing thousands of runners, athletes, and several A-list celebrities to the highly anticipated race organized by GMA Network, Sparkle GMA Artist Center, and race organizer RUNRIO.

Kapuso runners are competing in five race categories—16K, 10K, 6.6K, 5K, and 3K—while traversing some of Manila's most iconic and historic roads.

In an interview with 24 Oras, triathlete and Code Grey actor Kristoffer Martin said his main goal is to enjoy the event and make the experience memorable for everyone.

“Ako gusto ko i-enjoy. Gagawin natin literal 'yung fun run,” the Kapuso actor said.

He added: “I-enjoy lang natin 'yung buong event na kasama natin 'yung mga Kapuso na tatakbo rin. Ayun, safe lang din lahat na makatapos.”

Meanwhile, former Sang'gre actor Jon Lucas shared his excitement about meeting and bonding with supporters who have stood by them throughout their careers.

“Looking forward ako na makasama natin 'yung mga Kapuso natin na sumuporta sa aming lahat throughout our careers, the years, the shows. Kaya sana magkabonding kami,” Lucas emphasized.
