Biglaang Escape Review | Century Tuna the Underpants Run : A Celebration of an Ageless Beauty of Fitspiration


Running has never been as crazy and as bolder as the Century Tuna way.

This is how they defined their first ever underpants run event held at the Pacific Rim, Filinvest Coporate City in Alabang, April 8, 2018.As an organization that has been living with health and wellness advocacy, this event series has become another historical success.


It was about quarter 5:00 a.m. when the runners started to arrive at the venue. It was the same time Team Biglaang Escape have started to look around, spy the mood and check for the compliance of the dress code. We can still recall that moment when we got the “go” signal to cover the event. Our first reaction was comical about the dress code, because we are not that sexy and fit anyway.


Yes, one of the minimum requirements for male participants is to run with no shirt while for female participants, a sports bra should be worn. Surprisingly, about 80% of the runners complied with the dress code, and we have thought that was huge. That alone signified the success of this event.


We’ve also witnessed how the entire running track have transformed into the best beds, filled by hundreds of runners wearing their most creative underpants drama that one could ever imagine. There were the usual buff bodies displaying their assets (and probably the fruit of their labor in keeping their bodies fit); runners in superhero costumes – yes, there were women in Wonder Woman underpants; and some in their ethnic costumes like a group of male runners in their Igorot outfit.


And just like with any other fun-run, the event kicked off with good warm up roughly at 6:00 a.m. led by Regine Tolentino, a TV celeb and a fitness enthusiast, shortly followed by a gunshot to start the run for three, five and 10 kilometres.  Of course, the team and other friends from the media chose to run the 5K only because we have to cover the entire program.

Aside from the Century Tuna Superbods and Century Tuna Ageless finalists, spotted celebrities in the event were Matteo Guidicelli, Gerald Anderson, Young JV and Alice Dixon.

Fitness Is Ageless

BE (Biglaang Escape) believes that Century Tuna made the strongest and the most influential fitness campaign this year –that fitness is limitless and ageless.

Thus, we should not feel ashamed to state our age just like how we behaved initially at the registration booth. It is interesting to discover the diet and workout routine of the Century Tuna Ageless finalists whose ages range from 38 and above.

We can only imagine how disciplined they were on the type of food they eat, and how motivated they were in staying fabulous and fit for life. This group is the living proof that fitness can be achieved at no particular time. In fact, it can really start at 40 just as long as you know how to live positively and know how to take good care of your body. So, hooray to the oldest finalist this year at 50-year old. Simply indeed, age is just a number.

 Underpants Run is Diverse 

Our first impression of the Underpants Run is just like the famous Water Festival of Thailand or commonly known as Songkran Festival.

It was fun, gay and colourful as described in one of the private messages we have received in our recent Instagram post. Admittedly, we found the vibe as vibrant, festive and bubbly, probably because it was simply diverse. It became an instant safe space for every runner who wants to start running and burn fats on their most creative underpants without being judged.

This is just one clear indication of a positive takeaway for the said event. Amazing!
One of our followers would want to have a head-turning, sexy and fit body so he can also be part of the event. And yes – he’s all welcome to join next time. Kudos to the organizing committee for their sweet gesture of opening the event to the general public t and make the event more diverse and inclusive to every community.

So no need to worry, whether you’re sexy and fit or not so sexy or probably not so fit, because this underpants run is perfect for you. Besides, running is for all forms and shapes. Who knows you are already at your desire body physique by then.

Overall, the event lasted for about 3 hours and later capped by awarding of the winnersof the Top Three Male and Female Finishers: Superbods and Ageless; and the Best Underpants: Male, Female and Group Category.

In behalf of the Biglaaang Esacape team, we would like to extend our gratitude to the organizers of the Century Tuna Underpants Run for the given opportunity to cover your event. Undeniably, this truly inspires the beginners to live fit and healthy. After all, we believe in the saying – “You are what you eat.”
