The Xiaomi Pop Run 2025 also doubled as the official launch of the Xiaomi Smart Band 10, the brand’s latest stylish fitness wearable.

The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 keeps up with your whole lifestyle, with more than 150 different sports modes to track every fitness activity you can do—including swimming, sleep management and heart rate monitoring so you can keep an eye on your health, and enough power to last up to 21 days on a full charge. Its symmetrical ultra-thin bezels and wide variety of watch straps cater to your personal style, while photowalls set up around the venue gave runners a fun way to capture their milestones and share the energy of the day.

"The Xiaomi Pop Run is more than just a race; it's a celebration of a healthy and active lifestyle that's accessible to everyone," said Tomi Adrias, Xiaomi Philippines Head of Marketing. "Through events like this and our innovative fitness wearables like the Xiaomi Smart Band 10, we want to empower people to 'Fit in style' and seamlessly integrate fitness into their daily lives."

Runners tested themselves and tracked their fitness activity during the run using the Xiaomi Smart Band 10.

The Xiaomi Pop Run, which started in 2018, was adapted for the Philippines from China's domestic Xiaomi Orange Run, and is one of the most popular offline activities for Xiaomi fans. The event served as a testament to Xiaomi’s commitment to providing innovative technology that supports a healthy and active lifestyle.

Podium finishers also got to take home a variety of Xiaomi devices as additional prizes.
