Today, the trend of marathon running has gripped Filipinos like a red-hot fever that’s here to stay! With an estimated average of 2 marathons per weekend in Luzon alone, people are running for all sorts of reasons: for friendship, the thrill of a good challenge, and others for charity!

But with several marathons being conducted week after week, most of these runs have begun to blend into one another. Even with the constant challenge to break one’s personal best, every run becomes a virtual repetition of the run before. Two questions now come to mind: first, will there ever be a run that truly stands out? And secondly, “What’s in it for the runners this time?”

This is where Kenny Rogers Roasters steps in. For years, Kenny Rogers Roasters has promoted deliciously healthy eating, supporting a fit and active lifestyle. With sumptuous choices and savory entrées, Kenny Rogers Roasters has long bannered meals that are healthy, yet incredibly delicious and mouth-watering; a testament to their dedication to providing a variety of food choices for people who proactively choose healthy living.
