Having someone by your side provides motivation, accountability, and encouragement, helping you stay committed even on days when you feel less motivated. It also turns exercise into a social activity, making it a simple way to help support both physical wellness and meaningful connections.</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">Which is why for nearly two decades, Robinsons Supermarket has promoted healthy and active living through its annual Fit &amp; Fun Wellness Buddy Run. This year marks another milestone as the event expands its reach, bringing its advocacy of wellness to more communities across the country. </p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">The 2026 edition kicked off with the Manila leg on July 5 at Bridgetowne Destination Estate and Parklinks, where over 6,500 runners came together to celebrate fitness, friendship, and community.
