In the spirit of growing the ANTA Running Tribe (A.R.T.) and developing a deeper camaraderie and sense of community, ANTA PH held the Freedom 5K Run last Thursday from 6 to 9 a.m. at Intramuros, Manila.
This initiative simultaneously celebrated Philippine Independence Day and Global Running Day while highlighting the continued release of the PG7—the latest max cushioned footwear offering from ANTA Running.
A.R.T., the global sportswear brand’s running collective, prides itself on its united tribe, which embraces both seasoned and beginner runners. A.R.T. aims to grow in size and form deeper connections with members through its core values of unity and camaraderie, upholding its mission with weekly runs and events for the whole local running community.
With this in mind, ANTA PH decided to hold the Freedom 5K Run in Intramuros, with its official hashtags being #UnitedWeRun, #CushionEvolution and #Freedom5K.
The 5K course also doubled as a tribute to one of the capital’s most historically significant districts, taking each participant on a run-walk full of panoramic scenes and views to collectively celebrate the country’s Independence Day.
Coach Vans Catindoy, ANTA Philippines Running Head Coach, kicked the morning off at Café Y Ruedas with a brief rundown of the course, highlighting discussions about Intramuros’ beautiful scenery.
ANTA also showcased the PG7, their latest running shoe that delivers maximum comfort and peak performance through its full-length Nitroedge foam and lightweight mesh upper.
After pre-run stretching and warmups, the Freedom 5K Run commenced under the guidance of Coach Vans. The run-walk brought participants through some of the best spots in Intramuros, such as Baluarte De Dilao, as they enjoyed the company of their fellow A.R.T. members.
At the end of the course, Café Y Ruedas provided post-run food and refreshments for the participants.
The Freedom 5K Run continues A.R.T.’s initiatives this year, following its recent series of community runs around the Metro. A.R.T caters to every runner at any level as a way to grow both the tribe and the local running community.
