Watsons Race for Wellness: A Fun Run for a Healthier Lifestyle
Living a healthy lifestyle is essential to lower the risk of acquiring serious illnesses and enjoy a good quality of life. However, not all diseases are preventable, and many deaths can be avoided by maintaining a healthy lifestyle. In the Philippines, non-communicable diseases or lifestyle-related diseases account for 72% of deaths, according to the Department of Health (DOH) data from 2021.
As a leading global brand in health and beauty retail, Watsons is on a mission to advocate for holistic wellness, and that’s why it’s inviting Filipinos to join its largest fun run yet, Race for Wellness. The event will take place on March 5, 2023, at the SM Mall of Asia Grounds in Pasay City.
Whether you are a serious or casual runner, a fitness enthusiast, or a group of friends and families looking for fun ways to bond while getting more active, Race for Wellness is open to all. Participants can choose between the 5K, 10K, and 21K routes, and all routes will be untimed, focusing on having fun and enjoying the experiences along the way.
Apart from the run, participants can also look forward to fun games, live entertainment, and other surprises with cash prizes and freebies. By joining the fun run, participants can take the first step towards a healthier lifestyle and make it a fun and memorable experience.
Watsons’ Director for Customer Division, Jared De Guzman, believes that holistic health care is more like a life approach, and it does not only concern one aspect of life but everything within and surrounding it. That’s why at Watsons, the goal is to be every Filipino’s health partner by delivering all their health essentials in a convenient way. With a network of over 1,000 stores in the Philippines, in-store pharmacists, specialists, and staff are always available to provide expert care. Customers can also download the Watsons app on the App Store or Google Play to browse through a complete range of prescription and over-the-counter medicines and personal care products for any of their health and beauty needs.
Watsons takes the shopping experience a step further by offering Click & Collect Express, where customers can purchase online and pick up orders from their selected store in 30 minutes or less. Alternatively, customers can opt for Home Delivery Express, where orders are delivered right to their doorstep in 3 hours or less.
As a champion of health and wellness, Watsons is one with the Department of Health and medical associations in driving wellness through information and education programs. By using its expertise and resources, Watsons promotes its advocacy for a healthier Philippines. Part of the recently signed Department of Health’s Health Sector Strategy 2023-2028 is to foster “a society that promotes physical, mental, and social well-being, and empowering communities and households to make healthy and informed choices.”
