Lagosians energized Muri Okunola Park in Victoria Island on Saturday, 15 November, as the 2025 edition of the annual ARM Run for the Future set a new milestone. Organized by ARM Group, a leading Nigerian financial services provider, the event welcomed almost 5,000 participants – a 20% increase from 2024 – despite 6,000 online registrations. The inclusive 10km fun run/walk brought together runners, walkers, corporate teams, families, and youth, all united under the theme of building healthier and more financially secure futures, perfectly reflecting ARM Group’s commitment to linking physical vitality with long-term financial planning.
The morning kicked off with high-energy DJ-led warm-ups, free health screenings (blood pressure, BMI, and glucose tests) by partner medical teams, and insightful sessions on aligning fitness with smart investment habits. Sustainability was front and centre with zero single-use plastics throughout the venue.
Official sponsors played a key role in making the experience memorable: 
Pocari Sweat kept everyone hydrated with isotonic drinks at every station
Puma powered participants with premium running gear and prizes 
Nivea provided sun protection and post-run skincare essentials 
Bigi added refreshing fun with its range of soft drinks 
i-Fitness supported warm-ups and recovery zones
At the finish line, the top three male and female runners received special prizes, while veteran runners, the largest corporate team, and the most spirited family group earned well-deserved recognitions and gifts. Every finisher walked away with a custom medal and an ARM-branded fitness tracker to keep the momentum going.
The celebration continued with live music, nutritious food options, children’s entertainment zones, and a symbolic tree-planting activity for environmental stewardship. Social media lit up throughout the day, with thousands of photos, videos, and live updates shared under #RunForTheFuture2025 and #ArmRunForTheFuture.
For ARM Group and its stakeholders – from individual investors to corporate partners – the run beautifully illustrated the synergy between staying active and building wealth, in perfect harmony with the company’s offerings in mutual funds, securities, and real estate (details on its website).
Planning for the 2026 edition begins in February. ARM Group extends huge thanks to all participants, volunteers, and especially sponsors Pocari Sweat, Puma, Nivea, Bigi, and iFitness for making the 2025 Run for the Future an unforgettable success and strengthening the vision of healthier, wealthier communities.#
