On March 15, 2026, the streets of Makati weren’t just for suits and spreadsheets—they were for sneakers and personal bests. The MART-ACI Run Club successfully hosted its community run, turning Ayala Avenue into a high-energy track for the country’s financial market professionals.

Whether you missed the starting gun or you’re still riding that “runner’s high,” here is a recap of why this club is becoming the premier networking hub for the finance industry.

More Than a Mile: A Recap of March 15

The morning kicked off at 7:00 AM sharp at the Ayala Triangle Gardens. Under the banner of the Money Market Association of the Philippines (MART) and ACI Philippines, traders, brokers, and treasury professionals swapped their terminals for the open road.

The route took participants through the heart of the Central Business District, spanning Ayala Avenue from Salcedo-HV Dela Costa to Courtyard Drive. It wasn’t just about the physical exercise; it was about the rare opportunity to engage with industry peers outside the stress of the trading floor.

Why You Should Lace Up for the Next One

If you haven’t joined the MART-ACI Run Club yet, you’re missing out on more than just a cardio session. Here is why our membership is growing:

  • Wellness Meets Wealth: We often talk about portfolio health, but physical health is the ultimate asset. The Run Club promotes a sustainable lifestyle for high-stress professionals.
  • Networking at 5:00 min/km: Some of the best industry insights happen during a light jog. It’s an informal, “low-barrier” way to meet the leaders and rising stars of the Philippine financial markets.
  • Inclusive Environment: Whether you’re a marathon veteran or a first-timer doing a brisk walk, the club is designed for all fitness levels.
  • Completely Free: As highlighted in our recent event, registration is free for members, making it one of the most accessible professional “mixers” in Makati.

“The markets never stop moving, and neither should we. The MART-ACI Run Club is our way of ensuring our community stays as resilient as the industries we serve.”
