10 Cheers for the Robinsons Supermarket Buddy Run!

This early morning, Robinsons Supermarket just made a milestone of holding the 10th Fit & Fun Wellness Buddy Run!

It’s a mouthful, we know. so let’s just call it the Buddy Run 10 , moving forward. 🙂

Although this is already the 10th ‘run‘, Seats For Two only joined the fray starting at the 7th Buddy Run back a few years ago. Yes, you can consider us as late bloomers. We don’t even consider ourselves one either as we haven’t joined other running events aside from this one.

But yes, the drive to achieve better health and wellness is reason enough to encouarge us as a couple to join healthy running events such as this. Ok, we admit, the promise of a couple of free grocery packs at the end of the finish line is also helps a lot in the decision-making process. 🙂

Kidding aside, what we really love about this running event is the “Buddy” concept – the idea of running with your partner, cheering on each other, encouraging one another, specially when you are about to give up.

I think that’s what makes Seats For Two and the 5,000+ individuals this morning continue joining the Buddy Run year after year

Robinsons Supermarket Fit & Fun Wellness Buddy Run 10

This year’s Buddy Run 10 was held at the Parade Grounds of Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City.

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.

Hosted by volleyball superstar and TV personality, Gretchen Ho, and celebrity host Robi Domingo, the event also featured exciting booths with lots of freebies from Nestle Philippines, Johnson & Johnson, Fonterra, Unilab and Wyeth Nutrition, Unilever, Procter & Gamble, Abbott Nutrition, Getz Bros, Ecossential, Del Monte, Foodsphere Inc., Philusa, and Organique ACAI – our healthy food supplement of choice.

“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.

Moreover, Coach Jim Saret and Coach 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 P3,000 inclusive of P500 worth of participating items of the Wellness Festival.
