Robinsons Supermarket’s 10th Fit & Fun Wellness Buddy Run 2017

For the fourth time overall, I joined the team spirit to take part in the 10th Robinsons' Fit & Fun Wellness Buddy Run. From running this race in the past, I can say that this is one of the most organized and planned races in the Philippines.

The overwhelming turnout is a testament to the consistently increasing number of health-conscious individuals actively seeking healthier lifestyles and running, especially when done with a friend or loved one, is truly a fun and exciting way to achieve a fitness goal.

 In this photo, you can see the bright faces of hundreds of running pairs who took part in Robinsons Supermarket’s 10th Fit & Fun Wellness Buddy Run at the Parade Grounds of Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City. As usual, the Fit and Fun Buddy Run has 5k and 10k courses, that are both casual-runner friendly distances.

In line with Robinsons Supermarket's wellness campaign to continuously encourage more people to choose and live healthier lifestyles, the Fit & Fun Wellness Buddy Run gave everyone an opportunity to partner with friends and family, and run together towards the finish line.

"Through the years, the Fit & Fun Buddy Run has been a much-anticipated event for a lot of people. It’s our kick-off as we celebrate with the nation, Wellness and Nutrition month. It provides a fun gateway activity for fitness newbies who are just about to start their wellness journey and loyal runners," said general manager of Robinsons Supermarket, Mr. Jody Gadia.

Hosted by volleyball superstar and TV personality, Gretchen Ho, the event also featured exciting booths with lots of freebies from Nestle Philippines, Johnson & Johnson, Fonterra, Unilab and Wyeth Nutrition, Unilever, International Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (IPI), Procter & Gamble, Abbott Nutrition, Getz Bros, Ecossential, Del Monte, Foodsphere Inc., and Philusa.  There were lots of fun activities, prizes and surprises for everyone!

Coaches Jim and Toni Saret prepped-up the runners with a short work-out and invited them to register on-site for the Fit Filipino 1 Million Pounds National Weight Loss Challenge, the biggest on-ground and online wellness program in the country which aims to encourage everyone to pledge and lose weight.
