A family that stays fit together will live longer and happier together. Isn’t that right? I very well agree to that. More than keeping our family’s food healthy, we should also attain that healthy mind and body through regular exercise and fitness routine. It’s always easier said than done (I think I’ve mentioned it for a thousand times) but still, I keep my head up high because for me, it will never too late to keep up with other families who had been more fit than us. Robinsons Supermarket had been a health and fitness blessing for many families, with their easily accessible supermarkets (such as Robinsons Townville) , the Wellness Festival campaign, and now a Fit and Fun Wellness Buddy Run event.
Regine Tolentino and coaches Jim and Toni Saret made the runners work up a sweat early in the morning with heart-pumping aerobics, which got them revved-up for the race.
Hosts Gretchen Ho and Robi Domingo
Thousands of pairs had participated in the Robinsons Supermarket’s (RSC) 9th Fit and Fun Wellness Buddy Run held at Bonifacio Global City. There were at least 4,500 pairs who joined the 5km Run and 5,000 pairs in the much longer 10KM category. A whopping number which only showed that we Filipinos are very into being healthy and fit. Even celebrities and professional athletes didn’t miss the event. Triathlete and 28th SEA Games Gold Medalist Nikko Huelgas was there.
Running 10K for health and wellness indeed went a long way for Philippine army officers and running buddies (center) (name) and (name), as finishing first in the 9th Robinsons Supermarket Fit and Fun Wellness Buddy Run 10k race wins them an all-expense-paid trip to Bali, Indonesia.
Buddies Alley Quisay and Jujet De Asis’s journey to wellness brings them to El Nido, Palawan for being the top finisher of the 5K race of the 9th Robinsons Supermarket Fit and Fun Wellness Buddy Run. The all-expense-paid trip for two was awarded by (L-R) Robinsons Supermarket ambassador Nikko Huelgas, Robinsons Supermarket General Manager Jody Gadia, Robinsons Retail Holdings, Inc. President and COO Robina Gokongwei-Pe, and host Gretchen Ho.

Yes, I agree with you mommy Lani. Families these days are now vigilant about healthy living. This event is such a blast. I always want to try this kind of running activity and hopefully one day I’ll be doing it with my family. Good job to Robinson’s Supermarket buddy run event and surely you all had fun. 🙂
My daughter and I joined this fun run and was given the 10km singlets even if we signed up for the 5km. But we did enjoyed the fun run and was able to finish the 10km category. 🙂
I agree with getting fit Mommy Lani and I admire Robinsons for being an instrument of fitness for families. I hope to join this kind of event in the future. My kids will definitely enjoy running.
This is really one thing that I want our family to regularly practice – exercise! We used to jog during weekends, but for a long time now, sadly, we weren’t able to jog. Hopefully, we can do it again soon! 🙂 Health is wealth, so we really need to allot time for exercise! 🙂
One thing Im always looking forward to do with my family is a fitness activity. We used to do zumba together at home but when mom opened a business medyo wala na syang time. Hopefully we can do it again soon. Hoping din to be able to join family activities outside. This is great for Robinsons to manage such event.
I’m starting to exercise now and hopefully soon, we can join runs like this as a family! Health and wellness is on top of my priority list as I can really feel signs of aging!
I suddenly missed zumba after reading your post. But my husband and I do dance at home using the Just Dance game in PS4. I consider that our way of trying to stay fit and healthy aside from eating healthy food.
Naku, I have yet to join a “run” in my family. I better add that in my bucket list! : )
Another event that I missed. Sayang super enjoy pa naman daw ito.. hope everyone had a great time!
Dito lang pala to! Looks like such a fun event. I’ve seen photos, ang saya!
Super fun yung buddy run ng Robinsons. Para ka lang tumakbo to do grocery shopping pero more than the freebies na nakuha sa run. Ang dami din benefits of what Robinsons Supermarket is doing to promote wellness.
It’s nice that more establishments are encouraging healthy lifestyles. Hope my family can join in their next fun runs.
I haven’t tried doing any fun runs yet. Parang d ko kaya haha. This looks fun though with so many things to get. 🙂
I salute Robinsons for the initiative. More and more companies are into fitness programs and they all help us make the better choice or at least help / encourage us with our health issues goals as well.
This looks like a super fun activity to do with your family. Kudos to Robinsons for spearheading this healthy activity.
It’s really encouraging to hear organizations like Robinsons Supermarket spearheading campaigns aimed to make Filipinos healthy. Too bad, I can’t join these activities because of my eye problems.
Ang galing naman, I haven’t try pa to attend like this event, parang ang saya-saya. It’s really good that Robinsons they are spreading this campaign this is very important to all Filipinos family.
