Running, especially when done with a friend or loved one, is truly a fun and exciting way to achieve your fitness goal. It can also be a good way to get back on track to a healthy and active lifestyle.

This was shown in the bright faces of hundreds of running pairs who took part in the Robinsons Supermarket’s 10th Fit & Fun Wellness Buddy Run at the Parade Grounds of Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City.

Our family, who woke up very early just to attend this run, participated and enjoyed the day. It was a fun and exciting day to be fit and healthy. The kids loved the event very much specially the food part. It was one of our way of having a great bonding weekend. This is not our first time to join, we already joined the event celebration a few years ago. This year is quite different because this the first time that our kids went along with us.
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.

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.
The Fun Run is just one of the programs this July. Robinsons Supermarket is also giving away Healthy You snack platters for a minimum purchase of Php 3,000 inclusive of Php 500 worth of participating items of the Wellness Festival.

Aside from the fun that our family experience, we also went home with a big smile on our faces as we were treated with some goodies from Robinsons. Like I mentioned my kids loved the activities.  This is their first outdoor activity since they started their school.
Well we are hoping to join again next year and hopefully we would able to achieve our goals next year.  Thank you so much Robinsons Supermarket!
