This in a nutshell was the message of Regent Foods Corporation senior sales manager Adolfo Vacal when the food company launched its own fun run on Friday at the Dusit Thani Hotel in the City of Makati.
To be held on August 12 at the Global City in Taguig, the fun run will usher the festivities of the company's 25th anniversary next year.
"Regent Foods Corporation will be celebrating its 25th anniversary next year and we want to start it by directly connecting with our customers. Fun runs are one of the most practical way to invite people to join us in celebrating such a milestone," said Vacal.
There will be five categories for runners who will be treated with the company's famous snack food in this fun run.
According to Dr. Lyndon Cosico, one of the representatives of Lead Pack, the organizers of the event, in the media launching runners can opt to join in the 100 meter run, 3k, 5k, 10k and 16k.
Entry fees are P450 (100m and 3K), P550 (5K and 10K) and P700 (16K). The fees are inclusive of special edition Fun Run Saver’s treat canister with 13 Regent products, to be given upon registration. 5K, 10K and 16K runners also get a finisher’s medal and 16k finisher will get a finisher’s shirt.
All 5k, 10k and 16k will receive finisher medals. |
As a bonus, Regent Foods is also putting Regent Foods Gift packs up for grabs at the end of the run. Participants also get the chance to win raffle prizes including a roundtrip ticket to Thailand via Thai Airways, overnight accommodation at the Dusit Thani Hotel and many more.

Interested parties can register at selected Robinson’s Supermarket including Robinsons Galleria, Pioneer, Ermita, Timog, and BF Homes, and Runnr at the Fort Bonifacio, Taguig. Registration will start this June 22, 2012 until August 05, 2012.
“More Filipinos are now into having an active lifestyle and maintaining an even healthier habit, and we believe that celebrating Regent Foods’ 24th anniversary with an air of running camaraderie is one of the best ways to support this cause,” said Mr. Ricky See, President and CEO in a press statement.
The fun run is one of the ways the company is giving back to the community but Regent Foods will likewise donate to the Philippine Red Cross as part of their 24th anniversary festivities.
I joined the first fun run of DepEd last 2011. It was indeed a wonderful experience: having fun with colleagues but most of all the feeling of helping students by providing their needs for schooling.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good activity of celebrating their 25th year.

ReplyDeleteI've never joined any fun run. Always meant too but somehow something comes up. This looks like a good one and I like Regent products.

ReplyDeletei've never tried running and I want to try.. is it too late to try?
ReplyDeleteLeira, it is never too late to try running. I have read of a man who started running at 70 and finished his first marathon, that is 42 kilometers, at the age of 72.
