The Run For Wellness, presented by Southstar Drug and Maxicare, started off in grand style this year. A total of 6,624 runners and fitness enthusiasts gathered at the University of the Philippines Diliman Academic Oval to participate in the event, rise as champions in their wellness journey, and support our Filipino athletes.
The race village was bustling with activity, featuring 80 sponsors who set up tents and handed out freebies to participants. The awarding ceremony afterward consisted of prizes for the race finishers and the awarding of ₱1,000,000 to the University of the Philippines Health Service in Diliman.
A donation of ₱1,000,000 was also made to Philippine athletes preparing for upcoming competitions, which was a huge part of this year’s Run for Wellness. Joanie Delgaco, who recently made history after becoming the first Filipina rower to qualify for the Olympics, accepted the donation on behalf of the athletes.
The event was jam-packed with celebrities and personalities alike, including celebrity couple Megan Young and Mikael Daez, who both participated in the run. Plenty of content creators were also present, documenting the festivities and their own respective runs.
Mark your calendars for the next leg of the Run for Wellness, which will occur in Naga City on September 15, 2024. Join us as we champion health, fitness, and support for our Filipino athletes.
