#FitPH - Watsons Invites Everyone to Race for Wellness

Living a healthy lifestyle can help you enjoy good health and reduce your risk of developing major illnesses. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that while not all illnesses are curable, many fatalities, especially those caused by coronary heart disease and lung cancer, can be averted by leading a healthy lifestyle. Additionally, non-communicable diseases or illnesses linked to a certain lifestyle account for 72% of fatalities in the Philippines, according to data from the Department of Health (DOH) for 2021.

Watsons is urging Filipinos to embark on a journey toward a healthy lifestyle together beginning with Race for Wellness, its largest fun run yet. Watsons is a leading global brand in health and beauty retail and an advocate for holistic wellness. The run will be held on March 5, 2023, at the SM Mall of Asia Grounds in Pasay City.

Race for Wellness is open to all - 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. Participants can choose between the 5K, 10K, and 21K routes. All routes will be untimed, focusing instead on having fun and enjoying the experiences along the route. 

Participants can also look forward to fun games, live entertainment, and other surprises with cash prizes and freebies. 

A champion of health and wellness

“Watsons is leading the way in promoting and providing a complete and wide range of health and beauty products. We believe that holistic health care is more like a life approach. It does not only concern one aspect of life but everything within and surrounding it,”  says Jared De Guzman, Watsons Director for Customer Division.

De Guzman adds, “That’s why, at Watsons, we aspire to be every Filipino’s health partner. We strive to deliver all their health essentials in a convenient way. For one, we have a network of over 1,000 stores in the Philippines, all of which offer expert care through in-store pharmacists, specialists, and staff. By downloading the Watsons app on the App Store or Google Play, customers can also browse through a complete range of prescription and over-the-counter medicines and personal care products for any of their health and beauty needs.”

Taking the shopping experience a step further, customers can choose between Click & Collect Express where they can purchase online and pick up orders from their selected store in 30 minutes or less or Home Delivery Express where orders are delivered right to their doorstep in 3 hours or less.

The health retailer is one with the Department of Health and medical associations in driving wellness through information and education programs. Watsons uses its expertise and resources to further promote 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.”
