Unilab, Watsons celebrate decades of service with Share the Alaga Run

A total of 8,000 people trooped to the SM Mall of Asia Complex recently to join Unilab and Watsons’ Share the Alaga Run.

The fun run — which had 10K, 5K, 3K, and 1K categories — was the culmination of Unilab’s 80^th anniversary and a celebration of the 185^th anniversary of Watsons Philippines’ parent company, AS Watson.

The two healthcare giants marked decades of being Filipinos’ trusted partners by bringing the “alaga” and igniting community spirit during the run.

Participants are treated to free wellness checks and an array of booths offering fun activities and prizes.

Aside from chasing personal records and having fun with their loved ones, runners were treated to a health and wellness expo featuring free health checks, fun activities, and freebies.

Awards were also given to kiddie participants, announced by no less than Ceelin brand ambassador Dingdong Dantes.
