Most corporate wellness plans end up ignored in an inbox. Southern Cross Round the Bays is different because anyone can take part, no matter their fitness stage. It gives the team a fun, healthy goal to look forward to together - and a great celebration waiting for them at the finish line.
We have Hospo Packages to suit your team and your budget. Each hospo site can accommodate up to 30 people, so ensure you have enough sites to accommodate all of your team members. We don’t want anyone to miss out!
Ready to book your Hospo Package? Create your team online and select your Hospo Package(s) option on the sign up form. Already created your team? Head to your team's entry dashboard and purchase your Hospo Package(s) from the Store.
A chance to bond, talk about something other than spreadsheets and celebrate together at the finish line.
No matter who's fast, slow or just cheering from the sidelines - a Hospo Package site means the whole team can get together to celebrate.
Get your organisation seen at New Zealand's largest fun run series.
Wellness, team building and community involvement, all in one morning. That's a big tick!

“Taking part in this event is part of our people engagement strategy. It’s awesome to have everyone out and about and to connect with staff across the business. If we didn’t book a hospo site it would be so hard to meet up afterwards! This way, we know we have a spot, the BBQ is cranking and we can all relax and celebrate together.”
“Round The Bays is a key part of our Healthy @ CCEP programme throughout the year and an excellent way to create engagement with our people. The run allows us to connect, not only with each other, but also with our families. It’s something we look forward to every year.”
“Mainfreight has been coming to Round the Bays for a very long time. It’s an event that our team looks forward to every year. Having a space for our team and their families to come back to after the race and connect with each other is one of the reasons why we keep coming back year after year.”
Have a burning question about your Hospo Package or what to expect on the day? Head to the FAQ's page to find the answer.
Each hospo site can accommodate 30 people or fewer, depending on what other furniture and equipment you have within your site boundaries.
Please ensure that you book enough Hospo Packages to accommodate all of your team members. We'd hate for anyone to miss out!
We do not currently have a preferred catering supplier for the RTB27 series.
Please organise your own catering and deliver it to your hospo site on the morning of the event during pack in times.
Due to the scale and nature of each event, we will be releasing site numbers approximately one week out from the event.
We will also send you the Site Managers Guide at the same time which outlines all you need to know for event day, including pack in and pack out times.
