| The Green Run |
The end of June saw another successful running event inside Vermosa, as the AyalaLand's 700-hectare modern suburban estate in Imus hosted the 2024 edition of The Green Run.
Now on its third iteration, over 2,500 individuals lacing up their running shoes for varying distances, between 3K, 5K, 10K, and 21K. In addition, over three hundred dogs of varying breeds, alongside their fur parents, participated on a quaint Sunday morning for a 1.4K Dog Run.
Such demand, which led to a sold-out event, reflects the continued enthusiasm for running, while also highlighting the community's desire to remain involved in meaningful advocacies, in this case being a greener society.
Edgardo Panopio leads the casts of winners, clocking in at 89 minutes and 21 seconds for the men's 21K division, beating out Andy Borras Jr by over a minute.
On the women's side, Jennifer Padallan finished with a time of 110 minutes and four seconds, with also a winning margin of just over a minute against Joan Caralian.
Winning the 10K portion are Jhojie Daga-As (39:56) and Sofia Capistrano (45:07), while Polo Himoc (15:20) and Hazel Zamora (22:49) topped the 5K category.
As for the 3K, it is James Lawrence Sabal needed just over eleven and a half minutes for the men, with Danielle Sophia Yurango timed in at fourteen minutes and forty seconds.
AyalaLand Inc. marketing and communications group head Chrissy Roa says about their successful event, "We are extremely happy and grateful for the overwhelming support and response of runners in this year’s Green Run. More than just bringing fun and promoting healthy living, we are delighted to also give the running community a worthy cause to support. The Green Run’s main mission is to give back to the community by concretizing our commitment to protect the environment, championing young athletes and promoting animal care."
She adds, "This year, we welcomed Takbo Kabitenyo to the growing family of Vermosa. We opened the Ayala Vermosa Sport Hub to youth runners from Cavite who have a strong potential to become national athletes. We are committed to providing them with training support and the use of our state-of-the-art facilities. We look forward to producing athletes who will bring pride to our country in the future while providing them with opportunities to have a better quality of life."
The Cavite-based community, alongside animal welfare advocate Pawssion Project, joined the Haribon Foundation as The Green Run's beneficiary for this year.
