Racers at the Gwapa Dabawenya event burst from the starting line at the sound of the gun on August 9.
On August 9, 2GO, the biggest integrated logistics company in the Philippines, held the Gwapa Dabawenya run to launch the Kadayawan Festivities. This was 2GO’s first-ever fun run in Davao and the first event to take place on the city’s newly constructed coastline route. It was organized in collaboration with Sunrise Events and drew an incredible 2,200 participants.
The tremendous response—2,200 tickets were sold out in just two days—highlights the enthusiasm for the occasion and Davao City’s growing fitness culture. The Gwapa Dabawenya run also served as a model for the IRONMAN Davao series, which was held the same weekend and for which 2GO was a key logistical supporter.
“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.”
Sharon Ngo, Business Unit Head of 2GO Sea Solutions, shared the same sentiment, stating, “By bringing large-scale events to the city, we also create tourism opportunities within these communities and throughout the region. 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.
As a dependable logistics partner, 2GO made sure that all event-related supply chain and transportation demands were effectively satisfied by offering smooth logistics solutions for both Gwapa Dabawenya and IRONMAN Davao. This demonstrates 2GO’s expertise and its unwavering dedication to providing outstanding service regardless of the difficulty.
As 2GO continues to promote the growth and development of communities throughout the Philippines, the success of these events opens the door for more innovative initiatives.
