First and largest Filipino life insurer InLife furthers its commitment to helping Filipinos achieve their dreams as it renewed its title sponsorship for The Bull Runner (TBR) Dream Marathon 2026. To be held on February 15, 2026 at Filinvest City, Alabang, the event gathers first- and second-time marathoners to achieve the seemingly impossible feat of completing a full 42-kilometer marathon.
Next year’s TBR InLife Dream Marathon is set to make history as it welcomes a record-breaking 3,000 participants — the highest number since the marathon began in 2010.
“TBR InLife Dream Marathon is about setting goals, preparing for the journey, hitting the road, and ultimately, reaching the finish line. These resonate well with InLife. Over the last 115 years, we have stood foursquare behind Filipinos protecting what matters most to them as they pursue their dreams,” said InLife President and CEO Raoul E. Littaua.
At TBR InLife Dream Marathon, participants embark on a 20-week journey that includes professional training and education.
“Every TBR Dream Marathon is about more than just running; it’s also about transforming lives. With InLife’s continued support, we can further motivate new marathon runners to dream big and complete their first marathon,” said TBR Co-Founder and General Manager Jaymie Pizarro, who is also the running coach of TBR Dream Team. The group comprises passionate runners with full-time jobs in different industries.
From Love in Life to Start Within
InLife’s renewed sponsorship of TBR Dream Marathon aligns perfectly with its “Love InLife” campaign. Launched earlier this year, the campaign encourages Filipinos to act out of love by living healthier lives, pursuing lifelong goals, and taking charge of their future with confidence — with InLife as their trusted partner along the journey.
Building on this advocacy, InLife is also shining the spotlight on empowerment and personal transformation through its InLife Sheroes “Start Within” campaign. This year, that message takes on new meaning with the introduction of the InLife Sheroes Dream Team 2026 — ten exceptional individuals (five women and five “He-for-She” male supporters) chosen through a nationwide search to embody the values of self-belief, discipline, and purpose.
Handpicked to undergo a six-month coaching journey with renowned running coach Nylah Bautista, the team will train together toward completing their first — or, for a few of them second — marathon at The Bull Runner Dream Marathon 2026. Among them are Mark Alborida, Jose Florentino Bagallon, Roselle Banaag, Maan Batac, Josel Castro, Luigi Galvez, Dale Henson, Jejomar Luczon, Bea Villegas and Jessica Blancas-Vitangcol who will soon join thousands of Dreamers in chasing their finish-line moment this February.
InLife Community Members at the Starting Line
As part of its unwavering commitment to health, wellness, and work-life balance, InLife is proudly fielding around 150 members of its community: employees, Financial Advisors, Bancassurance partners, InLife Convo members, and their families and friends, to take on The Bull Runner challenge. More than just participants, they will serve as living brand ambassadors, embodying the InLife spirit beyond the workplace. Their journey to the 42-kilometer finish line will showcase not only endurance and determination, but also the shared values of passion, perseverance, and the power of running together.
The 2026 TBR Dreamers will receive training, a welcome kit, training shirt/singlet, Bull Circles (5 monthly running talks), Bull Sessions (6 monthly running clinics), partner discounts and offers, ticket to an exclusive Send Off Party, race kit, TBR wristband, finisher’s shirt, finisher’s medal, finisher’s swag bag, post-race breakfast, and finisher’s e-certificate. They will also enjoy the privilege of receiving online and in-person support from running coaches and TBR alumni, and membership in a supportive running community.
“As thousands of TBR Dreamers prepare for the big day, they can be assured that they have a steadfast partner in InLife. We’re here to support your journey every step of the way. We know that to you it’s more than just a marathon; it is about discovering your true strength and finding the courage to achieve your dream. As Sir Edmund Hillary aptly put it, It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves,” Littaua said.
