Vermosa Green Run Returns with Dog Run and Greener Than Ever
Vermosa Estate’s renowned Green Run returns on June 25 with the theme: “We’re Back And Greener Than Ever.” This highly anticipated event promotes healthy, active living while celebrating the beauty of green outdoor spaces.
Merrell Shoes, Milo, and Pocari Sweat are among the brands supporting The Green Run this year. Those interested in participating can register at Toby’s or Runnr stores, or online at ayalaland.myruntime.com.
Running for a Greener Tomorrow
The Green Run demonstrates its environmental commitment by allocating proceeds to Haribon Foundation’s Adopt-a-Seedling Program. The funds raised from the event contribute to building a greener and more sustainable tomorrow.
The event offers a variety of runs for varying fitness levels, including 21K, 10K, 5K, and 3K. Anticipation is high for this year’s Green Run, with celebrity runners, dog owners, and athletes expected to participate. Participants can also recycle plastic bottles via the Sun Life ReCycle PH machine, making environmental conservation an integral part of the event. Participants can exchange donated bottles for points, redeemable for prizes.
“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,” said Lani Tan, General Manager at Vermosa Sports Hub.
New Addition: A Fun Run for Dogs and Their Owners
The Vermosa Green Run 2023 amplifies the fun by incorporating a 1KM Dog Run. It allows dog lovers to bond with their pets in an exciting, fitness-focused environment.
“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,” said John Aragones, Project Development Manager at Vermosa.
“Physical activities like running 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,” he added.
The Allure of the Green Run
“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,” comments Monch Henares, an award-winning journalist and blogger.
Arabelle Jimenez, a lifestyle blogger, and swim coach, adds, “Open spaces, wide pedestrian walkways, bicycle and jogging lanes that wind through Vernosa make the running both memorable and inspiring.”
Vermosa’s Long-Term Commitment to Healthy Lifestyle and Sports
The annual Green Run forms a significant part of Vermosa Estate’s long-term plan, reflecting its active promotion of sports and a healthy lifestyle. The estate organizes the Green Run yearly, demonstrating its commitment to fostering wellness, fitness, and sports development.
FPG Insurance, the official non-life insurance partner, will provide free group personal accident insurance for registered runners, ensuring safety throughout the race.
