Don't chicken out now, it's Kenny's Open 2009 Urbanite Run!
MANILA, Philippines - The current trend of marathon running has gripped Filipinos like a red-hot fever that’s here to stay. With an estimated average of about two marathons per weekend in Luzon alone, people are running for all sorts of reasons — for friendship, the thrill of a good challenge or for charity.
But with several marathons being conducted week after week, most of these runs have begun to blend into one another. Even with the constant challenge to break one’s personal best, every run becomes a virtual repetition of the run before. Will there ever be a run that truly stands out?
This is where Kenny Rogers Roasters steps in. For years, Kenny Rogers Roasters has championed deliciously healthy eating, promoting a fit and active lifestyle. With sumptuous plate choices and savory entrées, Kenny Rogers Roasters has long bannered meals that are healthy, yet delicious and mouthwatering — a testament to their commitment to providing a variety of food choices for people who proactively choose healthy living.
Now, Kenny Rogers is taking another leap forward in its dedication to health with the Kenny’s Open 2009 Urbanite Run set on August 15 at 7 p.m. at Bonifacio Global City, The Fort. And as the name suggests, this one-of-a-kind run will happen at night.
With an advanced timing chip system to record runners’ progress and distances of 5/10/15 kilometers, Kenny’s Open 2009 Urbanite Run is designed especially for the young and young-at-heart of the metro. Participants, 18 years old and above, are eligible to sign up.
Joining is easy. Simply stop over at any Kenny Rogers Roasters branch or the new Kenny’s Roast and Grill restaurant at the Power Plant and purchase the Urbanite Run Ticket to Eat, Run, and Donate your way to fitness. Visit www. kennys.com.ph for more details.
There will be glow-in-the-dark wristbands, sleek jerseys, and Kenny’s key colors of red and black whipping around like a bonfire. And after crossing the finish line, runners will cap off the evening with entertainment by Tribo Manila and deliciously healthy eating. Cash prizes and cool consolation prizes will be given away.
The Kenny’s Open 2009 Urbanite Run is for the benefit of Hands-On Manila and 57:75 Movement. Donations from the Urbanite Run fund “racing” will be given to championing nutrition for kids.
Look out for flyers and posters for more details.
This event is co-presented by Coke Zero.
