1st Lazada Run PH Dares You to Add Fitness to Life
Lazada, the leading eCommerce platform in the Philippines, announced today the launch of the first-ever Philippine Lazada Run, which will take place on July 2, 2023, at the SM Mall of Asia. This groundbreaking event is the first running event organized by an eCommerce platform in Southeast Asia.
Launching the Lazada Run
The Philippine edition of the Lazada Run was introduced at an event held last Wednesday at the Lazada Headquarters in Taguig, attended by local media, running enthusiasts, and Lazada supporters. The event is part of a series of races happening across the region.
The program started with an aerobic exercise led by Corinne Limsin from 808 Studio PH. It was followed by a yoga and sound bath headed by Jo Endaya. Finally, performers Leanne and Naara serenaded the crowd with their amazing vocal performances.
“We are happy to see so many customers signing up for the Lazada Run, and registering in groups—running communities, families, barkadas, couples are all invited to join. Just like the rush that you feel from enjoying your top Lazada finds at the best prices, powered by #MasMabilisSaLazada shipping every day, all of these and more will be celebrated at the upcoming run,” said Lazada Philippines CEO Carlos Barrera.
Race Categories and Exclusive Sponsorship
Partnering with PUMA as the exclusive apparel sponsor, the Lazada Run features four race categories: 1KM Kid’s Run, 5KM Fun Run, and 10KM and 21KM events for experienced runners.
Participants will receive a runner’s bib, an exclusive PUMA singlet, a Lazada goodie bag, and of course, medals for participants who finish the race.
Top finishers of the 10KM and 21KM races will have the opportunity to compete in the final race in Singapore.
Experience Shopping on the Run
Runners can participate in experiential activities, such as collecting deals, discounts, and vouchers, as well as enjoying exclusive offers on the app and track from the start to the finish line.
Each race will introduce an exciting variation of the event mechanic, promising a fun and entertaining experience for participants. There will also be booths from some fan-favorite Lazada brands and sellers with exciting freebies!
