UNILAB ActiveHealth: Health Starts With Your Family

It is still clear in my memory how I ran my very first 10K distance at the UNILAB Run United for Wellness. I believe I made the right decision to run my first at the said race for runners were pampered by the generous sponsor. Yes, to date, UNILAB has been the most generous of all the races that I had joined. Go check my Running Milestones.

Finishing my first 10K

And I got even more excited knowing that the Leg 3 of the RunRio Trilogy, which is supposedly handled by Timex, will now be handled by UNILAB ActiveHealth. I guess with the turnout of UNILAB Run United for Wellness, they had observed how people are now conscious of their health and how they enjoyed such events together with their families.


Hence, UNILAB, being dedicated at staring health awareness within the family launched the UNILAB ActiveHealth that will facilitate three activities that you and your family will enjoy while promoting a healthy lifestyle.

Bike United

UNILAB ActiveHealth Bike United (BikeU) was held last Saturday at Venice Piazza, McKinley Hill. The activity is comprised of 20Km Sunset Fun Ride, 4.2Km Alaxan FR Road Criterium, I-ON Dual Stunt, and Ceelin Kiddie Bike Clinic. However, due to inclement weather, the Sunset Fun Ride was postponed. Nice about this activity is that "Every mile you bike helps another family lead a healthier life. For every registration, Unilab donates medicines to a family in Tahanang Walang Hagdan."

Tri United

UNILAB ActiveHealth Tri United (TriU) will be held on November 13, 2010 at Whiterock Beach Resort, Zambales. This triathlon event will be composed of 2km Swim, 91km Bike, and 20Km Run and will be open to 250 individual participants and 50 relay teams only.

In order for the event to be enjoyed by the whole family, Tri Kids Swim and Run Clinic will be held for children 6-12 years of age whose parent or guardian is a participant of the TriU. But this is limited to 50 slots only.

And once more, for every registration, Unilab will donate medicines to another family.

Run United 2

UNILAB ActiveHealth Run United 2 (RunU) will be the first race event in the country to be held in 2 days - November 20 and 21, 2010 at Fort Bonifacio Global City. Thus, it provided room for additional race categories - 15K and 32K Afroman Distance.

November 20 : 500m (for kids), 3K, 10K, 21K.
November 21 : 500m (for kids), 5K, 15K, 32K.

This event is for the benefit of Gawad Kalusugan and Hero Foundation.
