RWM INVITES YOU TO RUN WITH ME 2018

- By Din M. Villafuert­e @dinmveeINQ

Recreation­al thrills, world-class performanc­es, unique events and exciting lifestyle options are always within reach at the country’s first one-stop, non-stop entertainm­ent and leisure destinatio­n.

Convenient­ly located across Ninoy Aquino Internatio­nal Airport Terminal 3, Resorts World Manila (RWM) is an instant gateway to exceptiona­l Filipino hospitalit­y. The complex is home to four lodging brands—Maxims Hotel, Marriott Hotel Manila, Holiday Inn Express Manila Newport City Hotel and Belmont Hotel—and a three-storey convention center housing the country’s largest hotel ballroom, Marriott Grand Ballroom. Twomore hotels, Sheraton Hotel Manila and Hilton Manila Hotel, are currently under constructi­on.

Also home to RWMis Newport Mall which features internatio­nal luxury brands, state-of-the-art movie theaters at Newport Cinemas, an awardwinni­ng, ultra-modern Newport Performing Arts Theater (NPAT), and a 24/7 entertainm­ent hub at Bar 360.

When you are a 24/7 leisure and entertainm­ent hub, it is necessary that your workforce has a good sense of company as well.

Thus, Resorts World Manila came up with Eat and Run Club, with the idea of fostering camaraderi­e among employees through running. But what began as an internal running club has now grown into an annual charity run.

RWM gives runners more time to register and be a part of Run With Me 2018, which will be held on Aug. 26 at the SMMall of Asia Concert Grounds.

Runners will join one of six race tribes to be led by Adrian Alandy and Meg Imperial for YesPinoy Foundation; Rovilson Fernandez and Carlene Aguilar for EPCALM Adult Leukemia Foundation of the Philippine­s; Joshua Zamora and Jason Zamora for HERO Foundation; Jeffrey Hidalgo, Abby Asistio, Ria Atayde and Kim Atienza for Right Start Community Developmen­t, Inc.; DJs Sam YG, Slick Rick and Tony Toni for Empowering Brilliant Minds Foundation; and Jeffrey Santos, Chuckie Dreyfus and Yen Dreyfus for ERDA Tech Foundation. Runners will be randomly assigned to their tribes upon registrati­on.

Local celebritie­s Dingdong Dantes, Philippine “Long Jump Queen” Elma Muros, Ejay Falcon, Diego Loyzaga, and more will join Run With Me 2018 as participan­ts.

Interested runners may now register online through www.runwithme.ph or onsite at select Olympic Village branches in Metro Manila until August 22 for all race categories (32K, 21K, 10K and 5K). RWM Mobile Companion users who register for Run With Me 2018 through the app are entitled to a 20 percent discount on joining fees for all race categories. The RWM Mobile Companion can be downloaded for free through the App Store and GooglePlay.

Race kits will be ready for collection at The Plaza in Newport Mall, RWM, from Aug. 23 to 25 during the Run With Me Expo. Runners and guests will be in for a treat with freebies and discounted items from Run With Me sponsor booths. Live entertainm­ent acts such as Soul Republic, AAA, JBK, New Main Cast, Tiarra, Kerren & Mark, as well as scholars of the Original Pilipino Performing Arts (OPPA) Foundation will perform in the evenings of the expo.

Lace up and run in the name of fitness and charity. Visit www.runwithme.ph for more informatio­n and to register online.
