“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.”
Enjoy a morning of fun with thanks to Southern Cross!
