WELLNESS FESTIVAL

Last Saturday, February 28, the first edition of the Wellness Festival took place at Zonamerica, a public event dedicated to exercise, health, and well-being. The event was organized by Life Zonamerica and brought together hundreds of people, including members, employees of companies on the campus, and individuals interested in an active lifestyle.

The event offered a full afternoon of activities that combined physical exercise, specialized content, and opportunities to socialize, all set against the stunning backdrop of the Zonamerica campus. The perfect weather that afternoon made it possible to fully enjoy the various outdoor activities.

Throughout the festival, a variety of sports and recreational activities were organized for participants of all skill levels. One of the highlights was the team race, in which participants tackled stations featuring both intense physical challenges and more lighthearted activities, fosteringteamwork and a sense of community.

A Backyard race was also held—an endurance format that is growing in popularity worldwide, in which runners must complete 6.7-kilometer laps within one hour. On this occasion, seven laps were run, and the winner was the runner who completed the final lap in the shortest time.

The festival also featured activities designed specifically for adults, including an outdoor obstacle course through the park that combined movement with various physical challenges. The program also included an event at the Life Zonamerica pool, offering water-based activities and opportunities to enjoy the surroundings.

In the broader sense of well-being, the festival featured a yoga session in nature, held in one of the campus’s most prominent locations. The day concluded with a moment dedicated to slowing down and reconnecting with calm through gong baths.
In addition to physical activities, the festival included a series of talks focused on well-being and health, with specialists addressing various aspects of holistic care:

• Dr. Daniela Fernández, who shared tips for a longer and healthier life.
• Dr. Betina Tassino, with the talk “Timing Matters: The Biological Clock and Well-being,” on how
light, sleep, and daily schedules affect our health.
• The CEI team of nutritionists, who presented the talk “Eating for a Lifetime,” on the
importance of nutrition at different stages of life.
• Psychologist Camila Suárez, who led a discussion on “The Map of Well-being” and how to move
from the perfect to the possible.

The day concluded with a closing after-party, where participants enjoyed a relaxed gathering to celebrate the festival, thank everyone for their participation, and present awards to the winners of the team race and the Backyard event.
The Wellness Festival has thus established itself as an initiative that seeks to promote healthy habits, build community, and provide tools for a better life by combining physical activity, knowledge, and shared experiences.

“We believe that well-being is built within a community. This festival aims to do just that: create spaces where movement, knowledge, and connection come together to help us live better lives,” said representatives from Life Zonamerica, who also highlighted Zonamerica’s support in making this first edition possible.
