Fun, fitness and an excuse for a team BBQ and party.

Round the bays hopsitality

Book your site

A great corporate day out.

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 proper celebration waiting for them at the finish line.

“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.”
