Marathon strengthening team ties
Long established as a great team builder, the Standard Chartered marathon recently came around again. HKBN’s entries proudly wore specially designed jerseys, sporting various slogans to encourage other runners, such as ‘Catch me if you can’, ‘We love a good challenge’ and ‘326 runners. 1 team’. This final slogan refers to the 326 runners entered by HKBN in the 10km, 21km and 42km races, their combined total distance equalling 4,401km—almost the distance of two round-trip journeys between Hong Kong and Shanghai.
As in past years, the company arranged for intensive training for its participants with a Hong Kong Amateur Athletic Association coach to get them fighting fit.
NiQ Lai, Head of Talent Management and CFO, HKBN commented, “Through our annual participation in the marathon, HKBN encourages Talents to live a healthy lifestyle and exert a fighting spirit!”
