Thousands join Green Run for a cause at Vermosa

MANILA, Philippines –Close to two thousand elite runners, athletes in training and running enthusiasts signed up for the Vermosa Green Run at Imus, Cavite last Sunday, July 3, heeding the call to rediscover the outdoors and support a cause. 

Vermosa Project Development Manager Moses “MJ” Aragones said a total of 1,800 runners laced up and welcomed the opportunity to restart their passion in the 21K, 10K, 5K and 3K distance categories.

 

Vermosa Marketing Manager, Rina Reganit said: “We were overwhelmed with the response of the running community.  We only expected a thousand and we went over our expectations. We’re glad that the community is gradually opening up to events like this in the new normal.”

 

The run was staged within AyalaLand’s fourth largest estate, Vermosa, a highly-connected development. Vermosa is designed to have a complete mixed-use development similar to other Ayala Land estates like, Makati, Nuvali, Cebu Business Park, and BGC. 

 

The Green Run venue features a state-of-the-art professionally–managed sports facility, for professional and amateur athletes called the Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub.  It has a FINA-standard Olympic-size swimming pool, a warm up pool, an IAAF standard 400m track oval, a football field with natural tiff grass, an events place that can accommodate 100 pax called the Athletes Lounge, and a gym operated by Santé Fitness Lab. The Sports Hub served as the operations center for the Green Run.

 

Pinoy Fitness president Jeff Lo, said the large turnout showed that the fitness community is eager to resume physical activity, enter competitions and enjoy a change of scenery.

 

 “Being active is a great way to relieve stress and boost energy levels.  This run gave elite and casual athletes a venue to resume training and indulge their passion for running and fitness. People are really excited to be back at gatherings and races like this,” Lo said.

 

 “We hosted the first Green Run here in Vermosa because Vermosa is all about sports and promoting a healthy and active lifestyle. We encourage people to go out and indulge in physical activity for their physical and mental health. We also support our national athletes by letting them train here. We plan to bring The Green Run to our other estates in the future,” Aragones said

 

Reganit added that Vermosa has also committed to the environment by giving part of the Green Run proceeds to Haribon Foundation’s Adopt-a-Seedling Program. “We want to build a greener tomorrow,” Reganit said.

TaskUs Partners with Color Manila of CM Challenge Run Held at Clark Pampanga

TaskUs, headquartered in Los Angeles, and best recognized by Inc. 500 as one of the 5000 Fastest Growing Companies in America, is rapidly expanding in the Philippines today.  It currently has 7,500 employees and five sites, and is best known as the “secret behind the phenomenal scaling of some of the world’s companies”, such as Twitter, Groupon, Tinder, Shopify and Whisper, among others.

Known as ridiculously good at powering tech startups; it has partnered with Color Manila, the country’s most aggressive ‘concept fun-run’ organizer, for its CM Challenge Run held last March 19, 2017, at Clark Parade Grounds in Pampanga.

The partnership makes perfect sense, “As a company that cares deeply about affecting people in meaningful and revolutionary ways, TaskUs finds a kindred spirit in Color Manila, as they find purpose in bringing color to people's lives. We genuinely care about our employees' overall well being, and this includes their physical and emotional health. Work-life balance is important, so a colourful fun run that defies norms and gives people the opportunity to not just explore an avenue for healthy recreation but also create connections with other human beings who enjoy the same things, is something that we definitely support”, says Rey Salazar Jr., Brand Director of TaskUs.

Thousands of runners trooped to Clark as early as 4 a.m., to participate in the race’s various finishes, such as 3K, 5K and 10K.  Runners also enjoyed taking selfies and were given limited edition goodies as they immersed with employees at the TaskUs branded color station inside Clark Parade Grounds.  TaskUs employees from the House Teamwork Nepo, Angeles site also took the opportunity to join the colorful and challenging event.

“TaskUs today is expanding rapidly and has transformed to something more than just a company.  It is a movement.  We change what it means to work in this industry; not by idly accepting the status quo, but by taking smart risks, and finding new ways to do things better”, adds Ma.Isabel Bernal, VP of Culture.

A run with nature at Filinvest City

Filinvest City in Alabang, the garden central business district of South Manila, served as the perfect venue for the recent 7-Eleven Run 2017 with the city’s greeneries as backdrop, providing over 20,000 participants ranging from fitness enthusiasts to families and friends an enjoyable race.

“We promised a bigger and more exciting run, and we are very happy that it turned out to be a success, thanks to Filinvest City and Skyway. Filinvest City provided the best venue for our runners,” said 7-Eleven general merchandise division head Jose Ang, Jr.

With a backdrop of tree-canopied roads, expansive walkways, and an innovative new “green spine,” a foliage walkway that spans across the northern and southern ends of the township, the run proved to be refreshing for the participants.   

Attesting to this was Adelle Cortado from marathon group U Can Yan (UCY). “We liked the routes at Filinvest City compared to other venues because they’re more comfortable and they’re surrounded by trees that’s why you won’t get sick of the scenery,” she shared.

For couple Adrian Madrelejos and Noreen Sumile, they considered their first run together in Filinvest City as a unique way to date. “Our first marathon together was enjoyable because the weather was cool in Filinvest City, which made our run easier,” they shared.       

With the success of 7-Eleven Run 2017, Filinvest Alabang, Inc. executive vice president Catherine Ilagan said, “We are thankful that 7-Eleven chose Filinvest City to be the venue of their annual run, and with the newly developed Filinvest City Event Grounds, we look forward to staging more events of this sort in the future.”

Filinvest City is a 244-hectare masterplanned property in Alabang that is home to some of the country’s premiere institutions and global companies like Filinvest’s very own Festival Mall, Crimson Hotel and Palms Country Club.

Indeed, it was the perfect day for professional runners, fitness buffs, families, and friends to take part in the biggest run of the year and experience a healthy dose of the outdoors at Filinvest City.

Color Manila Returns to Clark for the 3rd Time with a Massive 6,000 Participants

CLARK, PAMPANGA:  COLOR MANILA, leading organizer of ‘concept-fun runs’, had a very successful return to Clark, Pampanga last December 3, 2016 for its CM Blacklight Run.  They had a record number of 6,000 participants joining the said event, which is said to be the biggest event COLOR MANILA has had outside of Manila, to date.  

The event was held at the Clark Parade Grounds and marked the third time that COLOR MANILA has held an event in Pampanga.  Participants had various race finishes of 3K, 5K, and 10K to choose from.

“We had two other events brought to Clark this year, the last event was CM Blacklight as well, and because of the partnership we have with the Clark Development Corporation (CDC), we have been able to grow our number of participants from 3,000 to 6,000 in just a span of three (3) months. The run has become a much-anticipated event for runners and first-time runners alike”, says Justine Cordero, Vice President of COLOR MANILA.

Thousands of participants from Pampanga, Manila and some nearby provinces such as La Union, Baguio, Tarlac, Pangasinan and Bulacan joined the event. Some foreigners also flew all the way from Indonesia, US, and other countries, just to be able to experience the night run.

According to Jay Em, President of COLOR MANILA, “What makes COLOR MANILA different is that, it is not about who finishes the race first, since everyone gets a medal.  For most of the participants, it is about creating that venue wherein you can exercise and bond with your friends at the same time, as you all go through the various race challenges and experience having colored powder thrown at you.”

Resident DJ Marxx Monterola with MC Dino also entertained the participants after the event.



COLOR MANILA’s next Blacklight event will be held in Dagupan in partnership with CSI The City Mall on December 10, 2016, it will be their last event for 2016.
