There is nothing like running to keep oneself fit, especially if you’re taking the journey to a healthy lifestyle with a fitness buddy who shares your wellness goals.

This weekend, different types of running pairs—parents and kids, siblings, best friends, workmates, and even neighbors— took their buddy health goals to the next level as they trooped to Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City for the 12 th Fit and Fun Wellness Buddy Run.

Parents run with their children at the Robinsons Supermarket Fit&Fun Wellness Buddy Run to
teach them the value of keeping fit and healthy.

Presented by Robinsons Supermarket, the Wellness Buddy Run featured a fun 5K race and a more competitive 10K contest which saw most of the running pairs sharing special moments together as they walked and ran around the camp, and, later on, wearing smiles as they sprinted and hugged each other across the finish line.

This Fit&Fun Wellness Buddy Run tandem catches everyone’s attention with their Mario &
Luigi outfits.

“On the 12 th year of the Fit and Fun Wellness Buddy Run, we are simply happy to have become a part of the wellness journey of Filipino families through the years. And much like how the running duos rely on each other for support during races, we are honored to be a reliable partner of the family in getting fit and living a healthy lifestyle,” said Jody Gadia, Robinsons Supermarket Managing Director.
