An internet friend asked me to help spread the word for UNILAB's "Run United for Wellness" that's happening at Bonifacio Global City, Taguig on March 7, 2010.

Here is the press brief:

Get started on fitness at Unilab Run United for Wellness

Starting a healthy lifestyle is made easy with Unilab Run United for Wellness at the Bonifacio Global City, Taguig on March 7.

Unilab Run United for Wellness is a health and wellness event for the family with running as a core activity. Besides the 3 km, 5 km, 10 km, and 21 km categories for adults, there is also a 500 meter dash for kids to help parents get their children started on a fitness lifestyle.

Family members can also consult for free with running coaches and fitness experts at the Unilab Wellness Village. It is divided into health zones such as Men’s Health, Women’s Health, Children’s Health, Seniors’ Health, and General Adults’ Health to cater to the specific needs of each family member. Aside from free consultations, the health zones also have interactive games and challenges that family members can enjoy.

Runners and their families can register online at www.unilabwellnessevents.com.ph until Feb. 15 or through in-store registration at Runnr store at The Fort and Planetsports outlets in Shangri-La Plaza Mall, Rockwell, Glorietta, Alabang Town Center, SM Mall of Asia, SM North EDSA, and Marquee Mall Pampanga starting Jan. 30 until Feb. 28.

Unilab Run United for Wellness is the first corporate-initiated wellness event of Unilab, the country’s largest and leading pharmaceutical and healthcare company that’s behind trusted brands like Alaxan, Ceelin, Enervon, Myra E, Skelan, and Solmux, among many others.

Organized by Finishline for the run and AdStaunch for the wellness village, the event is also made possible by partners like New Balance, Timex, Fitness First, Summit Water, 100Plus, Nature Valley, Photovendo, Bullrunner, and Run Radio.

I'm sure many are not keeping their New Year's resolution to become healthier already. But the thing is, we cannot raise our children with a good attitude towards diet and exercise if we don't practice it ourselves. And we cannot wean our kids from video games and hours of TV if we don't offer them alternative activities that are fun and healthier.

Here is a chance for the family to have fun together. Get the kids cheering for Dad! Get the kids high on endorphin rush from exercise! And take advantage of the free consultations. Forewarned is forearmed and many have been saved due to early detection of illnesses. If there's nothing wrong with you, at least an expert will get to validate that too!

So go and register now and then mark your calendars! (or have Facebook alert you!)
