Unilab Run United 1 2012: Run with your family

I was advised to jog or do jumping jack after my shock wave treatment. We went at Pasig Rain Forest to do just that. My first born and my nephew joined me in jogging and I realized how fun it is to run/jog side by side with a family member. No wonder, Family Runs are hit nowadays.

And very timely, because the much awaited family running event is on!  Unilab Run United 1, slated for March 4, will officially open RunRio Trilogy this year. This will be followed by Run United 2 on June 17 and Run United 3 on September 16.

So what runners can expect this year from Run United?

• new race routes
• better hydration stations
• improved security
• more safety marshals
• freebies and more!

This run’s pre-race giveaway is a race belt or bib holder. Those who will run 21km will not only get a unique collectible finishers medal, they will also enjoy a new race route starting at Bonifacio Global City in BGC and finishing off at Mall of Asia. Shuttle service will be provided from Mall of Asia as pick-up point for 21K runners. Details will be announced.

I know my kids will enjoy this race because they can have their own singlet. Kids joining the Ceelin 500-meter dash will also get their own singlet.

You can register at the following stores for Run United 1:

• Riovana at Bonifacio Global City and Katipunan, Quezon City
• Toby’s at SM Mall of Asia, Pasay City
• The Athlete’s Foot at Robinson’s Galleria, Ortigas

Run United is for the benefit of Gawad Kalusugan (the health program of Gawad Kalinga) and Hero Foundation. It is part of Unilab’s advocacy through Unilab Active Health to promote an active lifestyle among Filipino families.
