06.05.2011 - Men’s Health All-Terrain Race

Last May 14, 2011 I was invited by Nikka Peralta of Summit Media for a dry-run of the Men's Health All Terrain event. Unfortunately I wasn't able to join them because of a previous commitment happening on the same day.

Thanks to Nikka, I was still able to get the press release for the said event...

Good Housekeeping Family Fun Run!

Families and dogs spent a fun-filled morning at the
Good Housekeeping Family Fun Run!

Family bonding has never been this fun! Parents, children and even dogs enjoyed the first-ever Good Housekeeping Family Fun Run that happened last April 3, Sunday at the Manila Ocean Park.

Hundreds of families–including pet dogs!—participated in the different race categories. Kids enjoyed the 100-meter dash, while pet lovers teamed up with their dogs for the 1k run with obstacles. Parents ran with their kids in the 3k run and helped each other with the fun obstacles. Kids and adults alike also joined the 5k open run. Finishers enjoyed the different booths at the venue, like a pet-grooming station for dogs, inflatable and face painting for kids, photobooth for the whole family, and many more fun activities at the event.

Dog lovers were also in for a treat as Summit Media launched its first-ever publication dedicated to man’s best friend, Good Dog. A quarterly publication featuring everything you need to know about owning a dog, Good Dog is bundled with the April issue of Good Housekeeping. Every time Good Dog is bundled with Good Housekeeping (months of April, July, October, and December), the magazine will be priced at P125.

Hosted by RX 93.1 deejay Chico Garcia, the Good Housekeeping Family Fun Run was co-presented by Sangobion, made possible by major sponsors Robinsons Department Store and Sarangani Bay Bangus, official food sponsor Bow Wow by Handyman, official water sponsor GE Water, official venue sponsor Manila Ocean Park, official time sponsor Timex, and minor sponsors 3M, Aeromed, Curves, Farlin, Holy Seat, iPaw, Lottle, Nail-a-holics, Pocari Sweat and Red Ribbon. Special thanks to media partners Magic 89.9 and RX 93.1.

The April issue of Good Housekeeping features Christine Bersola-Babao on the cover and comes with your copy of the maiden issue of Good Dog. Both are available in newsstands, bookstores, and supermarkets nationwide for only P125.

All Women's Run

Last February 28, Monday, I was invited to attend the bloggers dinner at the Stock Market, Highstreet, BGC for the Women's Health and Athena Milk for Women All Women's Run.

I was happy to see familiar faces as most of the bloggers/runners who also attended were my friends (Poj, Roselle, Rene, Rico, Bards, Earl, Carina, Noelle, Timmy, James, Kas).

Anyhow... after a few chitchat about the BDM 160 where I sucked for stopping at KM69. The presentation went underway.
