Cathay Pacific were winners of the Corporate Team event and were presented with their prizes by Merlin Swire.
The fifth annual Swire Intra-group Running Competition was held on 20th October in Hong Kong, with over 500 participants from more than 20 operating companies taking part.
Cathay Pacific once again won the 10km Corporate Team Championship and also claimed victory in the 10km Individual races, with Jinko Takeshige and Candy Lai winning the Ladies' Master and Ladies' Youth categories, and David Li leading the way in the Men's Master competition. A new challenger, Vriens Lodewijk from Swire Properties, put in an amazing performance to win the 10km Men's Youth Race.
Cathay Pacific runners also triumphed in the 3km Individual Race: William Moon won the Men's Race – coming in 12 seconds ahead of the first runner up – while Ying-Yee See, last year's 3km Women's Race winner, was able to defend her title in the women's field. Swire Beverages managed to out-sprint the Cathay Pacific team in the Men's 1km x 3 Relay Races; however, the airline dominated in the Ladies, Mixed and Senior Executives relay races.
Enthusiastic participants at the starting line.
In partnership with The Green Earth, recycling initiatives and eco-friendly measures such as reusable cups and water stations to eliminate the use of bottled water were introduced.
