MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Bored with the same old race? In celebration of the 100th anniversary of AIA, Philam Life‘s Hong Kong-based parent company, the company breathed new life into the same old run event with The 100 Run, a fun obstacle race peppered with stations built to challenge every muscle in your body. It’s a happy blend of cardio and strength training, combined to provide participants with an unforgettable race-day experience.
The 100 Run is a 5km course which had ten stations composed of rows of hurdles, ten meter-long challenges, and various types of obstacles—ultimately amounting to a hundred worth of fun run excitement. Participants went through limbo racks, ran through a tunnel, wiggled their way out of a spider maze, jumped on tires, and went down an inflatable slide to get to the finish line.
To make The 100 Run more exciting, Philam Life’s Brand Ambassadors Mond Gutierrez, Solenn Heussaff, Nico Bolzico, and Wil Dasovich were called in to form their own Runbassador Teams of 25 members each, challenging their members to run faster than the other teams to earn more points. With Team Mond coming out on top, it was an exhilarating run for the team members, with each one bringing home a Garmin Vivofit 4 watch.
Aside from the Runbassador Teams, the other participants of The 100 Run also brought home various prizes, such as a trip for two to Bali, numerous Rudy Project and ITAnano watches, and Garmin Fitness Devices in the raffle held at the end of the run.
“Today’s run is a twin celebration of AIA’s centennial year and Philam Life’s 72nd year; our opportunity to give thanks to the many people who have contributed to our continued growth and success throughout our long journey together,” said Philam Life Chief Executive Officer Kelvin Ang. “As we position AIA, through Philam Life, for our continued journey of growth and success ahead, our promise of Healthier, Longer, Better Lives could not be more relevant. By delivering on this purpose we will make a real and positive impact on people’s lives and build a better future for our communities throughout the Philippines,” he added.
The Run was not only a chance to hold a fun fitness activity. It was also an opportunity to give back to the community, with a portion of the proceeds from the ticket sales donated to Philam Paaralan, Philam Foundation’s education-oriented program that aims to empower the Filipino youth by building classrooms in remote areas around the country.
