Pokémon RUN 30 Philippines is an upcoming 2026 family-friendly Pokémon-themed fun run event organized by Runrio Inc. in partnership with The Pokémon Company to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Pokémon franchise. It will be held on the weekend of October 3 and 4, 2026, around the SM Mall of Asia complex in Pasay. The run event also doubles as an in-game event for Pokémon GO.

The Philippine leg is sponsored by UNIQLO Philippines and 7-Eleven. UNIQLO will be providing the official Pokémon RUN 30 T-Shirts as part of the Runner’s Kits.​^[1] Runrio Inc., the organizer, also organized the previous year's Pokemon Run in the country.

The run will be approximately 5KM. 10,000 runner spots were available for each day of the weekend, for a total of 20,000 spots.

The event was first announced via Pokémon GO news on June 3, 2026, when both the run event and a tie-in in-game event were revealed. For Pokémon GO, the game will have increased wild encounters, improved Pokémon Incense attraction, include two Timed Research opportunities, and have other bonuses during the event period and within the event area.^[2]

Registration for the run opened on July 7, 2026, at 5:00 PM, shortly after a press conference by the Pokémon Company was held at SM Mall of Asia in Pasay, Philippines.

During registration, each participant was required to choose from one of three Pokémons: Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle. The chosen Pokémon will be reflected on the participant's themed bib and the lenticular card given as part of the runner's kit.

There are two prices to register for the race, and the only difference between Standard and Premium is an exclusive Pokémon RUN 30 Pikachu shoulder plushie for an additional ₱1,000 ticket price.
