Web3 company Bitget shared that it has partnered with Founders Running Club for an early morning community run in Metro Manila on April 26, 2025, called the “Bitget Bull Run.”
The Bitget Bull Run
According to the firm, Bitget Bull Run drew more than 100 web3 builders and runners, combining fitness and networking in a unique crypto meetup. It happened as an early morning event at Bridgetowne, a township that connects Quezon City and Pasig City in Metro Manila.
“We’ve partnered with football clubs, fight sports, and now runners because crypto adoption should happen where people already are… Though I have to say, when our team told me crypto traders actually showed up for a 6 AM run, that was the most surprising bull market signal I’ve heard all year.”

After the run, participants gathered at Single Origin Café in Opus Mall, which is a local mall within Bridgetowne, for coffee and casual networking.
This is not the only time Bitget has involved itself with fitness, as it recently announced a strategic partnership with SWEAT, a movement economy platform, to make crypto more accessible through physical activity.
Launched at the Dubai Esports Festival 2025, the partnership is seen to allow users to earn crypto rewards by simply moving—turning everyday exercise into digital ownership. The collaboration includes innovations like SWEAT’s AI movement coach Mia and expanded multichain wallet features.
Bitget Initiatives in PH
This month, Bitget launched its Starlink Program in Siargao to provide high-speed satellite internet to remote schools, aiming to improve education access and lay the groundwork for future blockchain adoption and financial inclusion in underserved Philippine communities.
The web3 company also hosted the “PayFi Event” on the same island in March, which promoted crypto payments in tourism. Following its success, the company plans to expand the initiative to other top Philippine destinations like Palawan, La Union, Dumaguete, and Boracay.
On May 24, to mark the 15th anniversary of the first real-world Bitcoin transaction, Bitget and other organizations are hosting their own $BTC Pizza Day events this month. Bitget Wallet and Morph will hold “Bitcoin Pizza Day: A Slice of History” in Taguig, featuring community discussions, crypto insights, and plenty of pizza.
