With numerous spots for outdoor activities, Iloilo City is also a haven for sports enthusiasts. There is an expansive Iloilo River Esplanade for those who love running or taking morning and sunset walks. The Iloilo River also becomes a training ground for Ilonggo paddlers. With its vast network of bike lanes, the city is also taking on the title of the bicycle capital of the Philippines.

Another sport growing in popularity among the Ilonggos is airsoft. For those who don’t know, airsoft is a sport where players simulate real-life military combat. They use replicas of real firearms loaded with little plastic pellets called BBs. Airsoft guns are easy to use and powered by gas. While it can also be done outdoors, airsoft is usually played in indoor fields.
