Last year was full of food events so its a refreshing surprise that early this year, health and wellness/sports events abounds. From a “lose 2lbs in two weeks” to “international fitness week” to “hiphopping and yoga to get a hot bod” now comes another great event..Unilab’s Run United for Wellness. The bloggers meet was held at Cafe Juanita where we also met Coach Rio Dela Cruz.

It will be held at the Bonifacio Global City, Taguig on March 7; a health and wellness event for the family with running as the main activity. Aside from the 3 km, 5 km, 10 km, and 21 km categories for adults, there’s also a 500-meter dash for kids to help parents influence their kids started on a fitness lifestyle.

There will also be free consultations with running coaches and fitness experts at the Unilab Wellness Village, 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 activities that family members can enjoy.
