Cebu is one of the major hubs for AirAsia RedRun's seven-city regional rollout throughout Asean and beyond

“RedRun represents what AirAsia stands for. We built our network across more than 150 destinations to link Asia together and RedRun is what happens when bold ambitions meet real connections. We're bringing people together through a shared passion for sport, turning every destination into a reason to fly. For us, this is not just a run, it's an opportunity to explore.” ~Amanda Woo, Chief Commercial Officer of AirAsia X

AirAsia announced the return of its legendary regional running event series, AirAsia RedRun, with a bold seven-city rollout for 2026 that encompasses key destinations throughout its Asean and Asia network. RedRun is more than simply a race; it unites communities through sports and facilitates travel around the region, confirming the airline's commitment to meaningful travel and active lifestyles. 

RedRun began as a brand-owned sports program in 2025 and has since expanded. It has grown into a regional movement that transcends boundaries, unifies cultures, and turns significant AirAsia network sites into destinations worth visiting thanks to its bold and dynamic DNA.

In 2026, the series will expand to seven locations throughout the year, including Da Nang, Bali, Kota Kinabalu, Cebu, Phuket, Surabaya, and Taipei, transforming major cities into high-energy racing weekends that mix fitness, tourism, and discovery. Three cities have officially confirmed their race dates and are now accepting registration, with additional venues to be announced gradually. Participants will also be able to take advantage of special bargains on flights, hotels, and other travel add-ons designed to help racers and improve their race weekend experience at each destination, thanks to AirAsia's larger travel ecosystem.

The first three open-for-sale cities leading the 2026 series with Super Early Bird price are:

1. Da Nang, Vietnam (26 April 2026), priced from as low as VND268,000.
