Vermosa Estate’s entertaining and nutritious Green Run will return on June 25 in response to persistent popular demand, this time with more goodies and surprises for both serious and casual runners. “We’re Back And Greener Than Ever” is the theme for this year.
The Run encourages a healthy, active lifestyle while celebrating the splendor of nature. This year, it’s even more enjoyable because dog owners can now run alongside their four-legged children, furry pals, and family members, providing them all a wonderful opportunity to connect, get in shape, and have a memorable experience.
Vermosa Green Run 2023 will also feature four more running competitions for runners of all fitness levels in addition to the 1KM Dog Run. Athletes of all levels can pick from the 21K, 10K, 5K, 3K, or 1K Dog Run at Vermosa, including competitive athletes, athletes in training, weekend runners, fun runners, fitness enthusiasts, family, and friends. At this year’s Green Run, athletes, dog owners, and celebrities are all expected to participate.
Following its success in 2022, Green Run is organized and brought to life by Pinoy Fitness, a running, fitness and multisport event organizer. Proceeds of the Run will go to Haribon Foundation’s Adopt-a-Seedling Program, to build a greener tomorrow. Moreover, runnersand guests can help protect the environment by recycling their plastic bottles at the Sun Life ReCycle PH machine on-site. Every bottle donated can earn participants points which can then be exchanged for prizes.
Green Run’s official non-life insurance partner, FPG Insurance, will also provide free group personal accident insurance to runners who register for the race.
“One of the major enticements to run The Green Run is the breathtaking scenery and the abundant foliage throughout the 750-hectare property. Running in a green, wide open environment is extra motivating and beneficial to physical and mental health,” says Monch Henares, award-winning journalist and motoring/travel blogger.
“Open spaces, wide pedestrian walkways, bicycle and jogging lanes that wind through Vernosa make the running both memorable and inspiring,” says Arabelle Jimenez, lifestyle blogger, travel writer and swimming coach who regularly runs in Vermosa for fitness and fun.
Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub General Manager Lani Tan, a sports and fitness enthusiast herself, said holding The Green Run yearly is part of Vermosa’s long-term plan because the Estates actively promotes sports and an active, healthy lifestyle.
“Our Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub, a state-of-the-art professionally–managed sports facility that has a FINA-standard Olympic size pool, a warm-up pool, an IAAF-standard 400m track oval, a football pitch, athletes’ lounge and a Sante Fitness Lab, all speak about our commitment to fitness, health and overall wellness as well as the development of Philippine sports,” Tan said.
Vermosa Project Development Manager Moses John Aragones, says “Last year, we encouraged people to re-enjoy the outdoors after years of being cooped up at home due to the pandemic. This year, we want to build on that newfound appreciation by inviting people to develop a habit for fitness and wellness. Physical activities like running really boost our immune system by providing more refreshing experiences that reduce stress. The abundance of wide-open spaces and state-of-the-art sports facilities at the Sports Hub, make The Green Run a once-a-year activity to look forward to as a mental and physical health booster.”
This year, Merrell Shoes, Milo, Fitbar, and Pocari Sweat all support The Green Run.
