Inline to its golden anniversary, the world's leading sports drinks bared its new variants - the orange and grapefruit flavor dubbed as the White Lightning, Thursday afternoon of October 22, 2015 at the Gatorade Hoop Center, Shaw Boulevard.
On the same day, Gatorade also introduced its newest ambassadors who are among the top local athletes of this generation. They are the UAAP volleyball superstars Alyssa Valdez from the Ateneo Lady Eagles and Mika Reyes from the De La Salle Lady Spikers together with basketball hotshots Chris Banchero of the Alaska Aces and Jeron Teng of the De La Salle Green Archers.
The media launch is a sports-filled event as the media present in the event formed a team and played a total workout together with the ambassadors. Three groups were formed - Team Banchero, Team Alyssa, and Team Mika. It was supposed to be four teams wherein the fourth one will be Team Jeron. But since Jeron didn't made it to attend the event due to other commitment, three groups competed.
Yours truly Runner Rocky belong to Team Banchero. We won first runner up next to Team Mica who was hailed as the champion!

The Gatorade's New Variant Introduced together with Its New Ambassadors:
"Coming from our 50TH Anniversary wherein we celebrated Gatorade's legacy of fueling local and international sports' greatness moments, we now want to focus on empowering a new breed of athletes and game changers," Pepsico Philippines Marketing Manager for Hydration Tony Atayde said.
"Alyssa, Mika, Chris, and Jeron are top athletes who know the value of working hard to stay in peak form and understand that games aren't won on the court but in the gym and practice venues. We're excited to see them inspire more people to pursue active lifestyles and understand the value of proper hydration," Tony added.

With Our Team Captain, Chris Banchero:
Being a runner and a fitness enthusiast, Gatorade is already part of my active and sporty lifestyle. In every marathon I've ran with or in every fitness activity I've joined with, Gatorade is our official hydration!
Gatorade believes that it begins with hard work - the kind with no shortcuts, the kind that's relentless and that will make you ache and sweat. Whether the goal is to finish a 21K half marathon, climb a mountain peak, or just feel physically stronger overall, preparing yourself in the gym and constantly working to improve your game is key to winning on game day.
On my next post, I'll share with you my fitness interview with the basketball heartthrob Chris Banchero. Find out how he maintains his fit and sexy body!
Chris, Mika, Alyssa, Jeron, and of course yours truly Runner Rocky in partnership with Gatorade will continue to inspire you to keep a fit and healthy lifestyle! #fitsperation rules! (Runner Rocky)
