KUALA LUMPUR, 16 March 2026: AirAsia confirms its second edition of the RedRun signature regional running event series will feature a bold seven-city rollout in 2026, spanning key destinations across its ASEAN and Asia network.
Launched in 2025, RedRun is back on the regional sporting calendar to encourage running enthusiasts to buy a fare, explore the destinations and compete in sports events that appeal to both casual and serious runners.
AirAsia X Chief Commercial Officer Amanda Woo said: “RedRun represents what AirAsia stands for… We’re bringing people together through a shared passion for sport, turning every destination into a reason to fly.”
In 2026, the series will roll out across seven cities throughout the year, comprising Da 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.
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. Book now until 10 March 2026

Participants can choose from 5 km, 10 km, or the half-marathon race categories, making the run accessible to both casual runners and seasoned athletes.
With strong connectivity into these destinations from multiple ASEAN hubs, AirAsia RedRun should draw over 100,000 runners from across Asia, supporting cross-border tourism while strengthening the airline’s brand presence beyond aviation.
