Team Woman Run PressCon

I was invited yesterday to the press conference of the “Team Woman Run” by Lactacyd held at the Blue Water Day Spa in Ortigas Ave. This allowed guests to have foot spa treat while listening to the presscon.

As I registered, I was reminded of our annual activity at the office every month of March which was the “National Women’s Month” celebration. We usually held lecture series, conferences and other activities pertaining to women development and empowerment.

This event once again highlighted the importance of women in the society and their capabilities as individuals. The event was hosted by Noelle De Guzman (Kikay Runner) who introduced the new product endorsers of Lactacyd, the Carpo sisters (Amanda, Chesca and Leica) and Bea Locsin. The run is scheduled on 27 June 2010 at the Venice Piazza Mall in Mc Kinley Hills, Fort Bonifacio. There will also be scheduled running clinics prior to the race.

Below is the Press Release from the organizer of the event.

Woman Team Run What better way to celebrate a woman's strength than with an all-woman run?

Gather together your sisters and friends to form a team of three or four individuals, and be part of this year's Woman Team Run. Woman Team Run is an all-woman team relay for females ages 18 to 35. This exciting event will be held on June 27, 2010 at the Venice Pizza Mall, McKinley Hill.

Each team will run a combined distance of 21K. The first runner will run a distance of 10K, the second runner will run 5K, the third runner will run 3K, and the fourth (or first) runner will run another 3K. There will also be a 5K individual run category.

Of course, it is a given that women love to be fashionable. A Best in Costume Award will be awarded to the team who adds the most flair to their running outfits. Criteria will be made up of originality, creativity, use of Team Woman singlet, and overall impact.

A lot of things are expected of today's woman. Woman by Lactacyd understands the needs of a woman with an active lifestyle. As its tagline goes, only Woman Knows a Woman, made to keep up with you.

At the end of the race, a team composed entirely of women will be chosen to become ambassadors of Woman by Lactacyd. Currently, Leica Carpo, Amanda Carpo, Chesca Carpo and Bea Locsin are the strong, athletic women who wave Woman by Lactacyd's flag. These veteran runners will hold free running clinics on May 30, June 6 and June 13.

Woman Team run participants will enjoy lots of fun giveaways. The first 100 teams to complete the relay will each receive free pouches from Beauty Bar and gift certificates worth P75 from David's Salon.
