Woman Team Run on June 27, 2010

What better way to celebrate a woman’s strength than with an all-woman run? Woman by Lactacyd understands the needs of a woman with an active lifestyle. As its tagline goes, "only woman knows a woman, made to keep up with you." The Woman Team Run was launched in a presscon on May 20, 2010 held at Blue Water Day Spa in Greenhills, San Juan branch.

Everyone was pampered with a 30-minute foot massage. Truly, a foot massage is what every runner needs after a grueling marathon run. Isn't this running event quite discriminating for men? I just hope that there would be a running event also in the future designed just for men.

Gather together your sisters and friends to form a team of three or four individuals, and be part of this year’s Woman Team Run. Woman Team Run is an all-woman team relay for females ages 18 to 35. This exciting event will be held on June 27, 2010 at the Venice Pizza Mall, McKinley Hill.

  

Each team will run a combined distance of 21K. The first runner will run a distance of 10K, the second runner will run 5K, the third runner will run 3K, and the fourth (or first) runner will run another 3K. There will also be a 5K individual run category.  

A Best in Costume Award will be awarded to the team who adds the most flair to their running outfits. Criteria will be made up of originality, creativity, use of Team Woman singlet, and overall impact.  

At the end of the race, a team composed entirely of women will be chosen to become ambassadors of Woman by Lactacyd. Currently, Leica Carpo, Amanda Carpo, Chesca Carpo and Bea Locsin are the strong, athletic women who wave Woman by Lactacyd’s flag. These veteran runners will hold free running clinics on May 23, May 30, and June 6.  

The first 100 teams to complete the relay will each receive free pouches from Beauty Bar and gift certificates worth P75 from David’s Salon, perfect for pampering after the run.
