Run United 2 and its First Race Expo

Leave a comment

In Unilab ActiveHealth’s (ULAH) continuing efforts to promote an active and healthy lifestyle among families, 2012 Run United will have its second leg on 17 June 2012 at SM Mall of Asia.

“Active Health delivers Unilab’s vision of providing active health solutions for Filipino families.  We encourage families to start or continue leading active lives through our events like Run United,” Unilab Active Health Head Alex Panlilio said.

A Family Affair

[Children] from ages 5-12 years old can join the Ceelin 500-meter dash, a jump start in their journey to fitness. [Parents] and older siblings can choose from the different race categories like 3K, 5K, 10K, and 21K. 

Registered participants of 500-meter dash, 3K, 5K, 10K, will receive their singlet upon registration. The race belt bag, bib with timing chip, and Riovana 10% discount stub can be claimed during the first ever Run United Race Expo. 

Active Health belt bag is to be received at the Expo

Run United Race Expo (1st : 2012 : Bonifacio Global City)

According to Coach Rio dela Cruz, “The race expo brings Run United to a whole new level. Major international marathons like the ING New York Marathon and Chicago Marathon hold their own expos days before the event. Together with ULAH, we look at some of the best practices from international races, and apply them to the Run United series to further enhance the race experience of the Filipino running community.”

It is happening on 13-16 June 2012 at the BGC grounds near Mercato from 2-8PM on June 13 and 10AM-8PM on June 14-16.  As a testament to the level of commitment that ULAH brings to the runners, Team Bike Boutique, the official merchandise partner of Ironman races worldwide, will organize the expo.  Fitness and athletic brands present their latest products and services including gadgets, running gears, among others.  Runners can hang out with their friends while checking out the coolest and latest sports apparel.  The race expo completes the active health experience of runners, sports enthusiasts, and their families in this four-day event.

The participants of the 21K category will have a different singlet color design which makes the runners extra special, aside from the freebies that they will get during the race expo in BGC and the second piece of the collectible medal and finisher’s shirt. A personalized RunRio timing card will also be exclusively given to them they just need to present their old IPICO timing chip during the registration to get the replacement.

Active Health Sport Events Executive Lester Castillo said, “As we have always done in the past, we continuously improve Run United series to give runners a better experience and encourage them to keep running.

Garfield Runner’s Cup, 12 Nov. 2011

Leave a comment
Garfield is one of my favorite comic characters.  Sometime in 1994, I did a painting of Garfield using latex paint as a medium and it was included in an art exhibition during the fiesta celebration in my hometown. Yes, I used to paint still life and cartoon characters as my sujects.  I was trying to hone back then the visual artist in me.  But it was just a short-lived hobby.  Most of those paintings are tucked away to where I don’t even know where. 
And here’s another adventure with Garfield.  This time not through painting but through a fun run dubbed Garfield Runner’s Cup 2011. It introduces an exciting adventure not only for children but also for families as well, promoting the importance of healthy lifestyle, fitness, and family bonding.  The Garfield’s Runner’s Cup is happening on 12 Nov. 12 at Manila Ocean Park.

“We wanted to create a new dimension, and transform the usual fun run event. Expect a different kind of run. Expect a journey of fun-filled memories and experience catered for the whole family,” says Garfield Apparel Marketing Manager Kyle Ong.

Garfield and other cartoons are joining the race.  Louise Abuel, who plays as the kid brother of Sophia in 100 Days to Heaven, a prime-time children’s television series, will also grace the event.  It will be a fun-filled day for everyone!  Proceeds of the fun run would go to a children charity organization.

Registration has started last September 20 and still ongoing.  You may go to any Chris Sports branches at SM North EDSA The Annex, SM Megamall, SM Mall of Asia, and Festival Mall; and on October 10 onwards at ROX Bonifacio High Street. Registration period is until November 10.
Garfield Runner’s Cup would accept limited runners for the safety of the participants. For more information, please visit garfieldapparel.com or like them on Facebook at facebook.com/GarfieldRunnersCup.

For inquiries, please do not hesitate to email garfieldapparel@yahoo.com or call 09175746323 or 09239347332.

Alaska Family Fun Run, May 7

Leave a comment
Firstly, many thanks to my friend and fellow blogger, Vimz a.k.a. Kulit Runner for the info.  Secondly, this was supposed to be posted a week ago but for some reason I wasn’t able to.  Anyhow, we have Alaska to thank for giving away free race kits.  Yes, it’s FREE!  Yup, they decided to give out free registration and waive proof of purchase. Available kits are for any of the two race categories:

3km – Adult + Child 4 to 10 years old (500 race kits)
5km – Adult + Child 11 to 14 years old (500 race kits)

Please note [however] that the Alaska Family Run is a fun run meant for an adult and child tandem. There is no solo category. And the adult and child tandem doesn’t have to be Parent & Child [as long as it’s a pair of] adult and child. This is really supposed to be a family bonding moment. The event will take place on May 7, Saturday, at the SM Mall of Asia [grounds]. For details, see poster below:
The [only] option on how you can claim the FREE race kits to the Alaska Family Fun Run is to go personally to RUNNR at Bonifacio High Street, Taguig City or L TimeStudio in Greenbelt 1, inform the registration staff that you are availing of the FREE registration and do manual registration there, and get your kits right away.
