I’ve been a little more active since I’ve started bringing Jael to and from school. That’s saying a lot especially when you work from home and are in front of a computer most of the day.
With an invite to the Robinsons Supermarket’s Fit and Fun Wellness Buddy Run held at Bonifacio Golbal City, Oliver and I paired up to join the 5k run. Being that July is Wellness month this is another activity to promote a healthier lifestyle among Filipinos.
We were there pretty early (around 4:30am) but it was already a full house. When we arrived Regine Tolentino was getting the runners prepped with a bit of zumba.
Coaches Jim and Toni Saret lead the warm-up and post-run cool-down exercises.
Around 4,500 runners joined the 5K and 10K races, including triathlete and 28th SEA Games Gold Medalist Nikko Huelgas.
The fun run was well organized and had many booths where you could try activities and products found in Robinsons Supermarkets. The course was properly monitored and runners were safe to traverse the 10k or 5k run they had chosen.
Portalets were made available and runners were provided refreshments on and off the course.
Top finishers each took home exciting prizes. The 2nd and 3rd placers of the 5K run received Php8,000 worth of Robinsons GCs.
The 1st placers of the 5K run won a 3D/2N trip with accommodations for two to El Nido, Palawan!
The 2nd and 3rd placers of the 10K run won Php15,000 worth of Robinsons GCs.
The 10K winners received a 3D/2N trip for two to Bali, Indonesia with accommodations!
The 9th Fit and Fun Wellness Buddy Run was made possible by RSC’s wellness partners, Nestle Philippines, Johnson & Johnson, Nivea and Fonterra, among others, all of which share their mission to provide more health and wellness options to Filipinos.
July is a month long celebration of health and wellness with the 3rd leg of their Route to Wellness campaign. Enjoy discounts, additional rewards points, and freebies when you purchase from the “fresh” items.

What an amazing experience! I wish I could score invites like this! I am sticking with yoga right now. I hope to add other fitness programs. It’s not easy worrying about health issues.
Sounds like you had a lot of fun!
Running a marathon is not in my wheelhouse, but I admire those who do. It takes a lot of commitment and training. Looks like Robinsons made the event a day of fun.
It’s so nice to companies promoting wellness and health by hosting fun runs like this! It’s really important that we pay attention to our health and that we keep our body active, runs like this make people interested in doing so!
Great event by these companies. Instead of massive advertising costs, diverting a small amount, miniscule compared to TV ads, they are able to hold events like this, plus offer great prizes!

Congratulations to the winners. Those are some great prizes. This must have been a lot of fun.
Still haven’t tried any fun run yet. Anyway, considering it’s the 9th fun run event of Robinson’s, they should really have an organized one. I admire the top finishers especially those who ran 10K. They really deserve their prizes. Truly, when we work from home, we have all the more reason to have a healthier lifestyle.
It’s been a long time since my last run. Glad to see that you had fun in this race.
I’m not sure if me and my wife can finish our run if ever but we’ve been meaning to join fun runs for the longest time now. Those were some cool prizes BTW congrats to the winners! 😀
I also work home same as you. But the only difference you’re physically but I’m not. haha I’m too lazy to move around. I got easily tired and I think it’s a sign na, to start a new active lifestyle!
I want to join a fun run like this. I like doing our grocery in Robinsons too!
What a wonderful experience! It’s really trendy for a supermarket,to initiate fun events like these! It helps people get more active; also the brand earns a lot of loyalty!
What an amazing way to have fun and be healthy as well plus amazing prices as bonuses. This is definitely an event worth attending.
I’m a really sport person, but if there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s running for running’s sake! That’s why I super admire people who try marathons, like you. Kudos!

It is so nice to see the community come together for this race. I didn’t know July was health and Wellness Month I will have to get started by going for extra long walks- Stay Healthy
I never experience this kind of event, It seems like a fun event. I would love to try if I have a chance
What a fun event! Glad that you were able to participate. It is my goal to do a 5k run/walk soon!
That sounds like a lot of fun. I’ve only attended a run like this once and I didn’t run, I walked haha. Those prizes are amazing too. Congrats to the winners!
I like going to fun run. It is nice to know that this supermarket advocates health and wellness.
Wow! Those prizes are awesome! My husband likes to run as part of his exercise. I hope they organize family fun runs too in the future. I want my kids to join these kinds of events.
