AirAsia today announced the return of AirAsia RedRun, its signature regional running event series, with a bold seven-city rollout for 2026, spanning key destinations across its Asean and Asia network. More than a race event, RedRun reaffirms the airline’s commitment to active lifestyles and purposeful travel, by connecting communities through sports while unlocking travel across the region.
First launched in 2025, RedRun has quickly become something bigger than a brand-owned sports initiative. Fuelled by AirAsia’s bold and dynamic DNA, it has grown into a regional movement that spans borders, connects cultures and turns major destinations on the AirAsia network into a finish line worth flying for.
Amanda Woo, Chief Commercial Officer of AirAsia X said: “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.”
In 2026, the series will roll out across seven cities throughout the year which include D over a Nang, Bali, Kota Kinabalu, Cebu, Phuket, Surabaya and Taipei – transforming major destinations into high-energy race weekends that combine fitness, travel and exploration. Three cities have officially confirmed their race dates and are now open for registration, with additional locations to be announced progressively. Leveraging AirAsia’s broader travel ecosystem, participants will also be able to enjoy special promotions on flights, hotels and other travel add-ons designed to support racers and enhance their race weekend experience in each destination.
