This year’s event in Lagos saw participants who were adorned in the PFA’s T-shirts ‘Run for the Future’ slogan walking/running from Ikoyi office of the firm to Lekki with co-sponsors like Townsville, Nike +(plus), Eva water, Nescafe among others.

According to Wale Odutola, managing director, ARM Pension ‘Run for the Future ’ is a 5km run/walk aimed at creating awareness amongst the general public on the importance of exercise and healthy living. When we started the ‘Run for the Future’ three years, the objective was very simple; we wanted to create an avenue to engage with our clients but most importantly to promote healthy living. The run allows us to do both simultaneously.  It also provides a fun way for our clients to engage with us and each other and interact.

The feedback has been good, and that encouraged us to include it in our calendar of events and expand it now to other cities including Abuja and Port Harcourt. The run in Lagos starts from our head office in Ikoyi as it has always been and go all the way to Lekki and ends here in our office. For us, our joy is that we are able to promote healthy living, he said.

Participants were entertained with gifts and assorted snacks, while fifteen people won N10,000.00 worth of mutual fund investment from the Company.
