Why Not Joggers’ Lane At The South

How about a Joggers’ Lane equipped with a 1.1 km running track in the South?

Good news to fellow Southies!

SM Southmall launches the Joggers’ Lane  and to officially open it is to celebrate a Leap Year Run with family and friends that will be happening this February 29, 5 –7 AM.

I am an avid runner as I shared this addiction to the family.  It is how we bond together thru a fun and fit way while running.

According to Berniece Baculi, AVP for Operations, the Joggers’ Lane is created to celebrate the existing community of fitness enthusiasts who frequent the mall complex every morning to jog and exercise together.

It encompasses a 1.1 KM, perfect for light runs to longer training sessions for novice marathoners. The lane also features catchy and encouraging fitness quotes seen at every corner of the complex. To be more accessible to the South community, it has also opened select restaurants for breakfast.
