Bloomberg Square Mile Relay

HAPPY GLOBAL RUNNING DAY!

Here's to one of the fastest growing participation sports in the world 🌍 🏃

Running has a way of bringing people together like very few other things can - and what better way to socialise than to get fit in the process!?

No matter the pace, the background, the industry or the city - everyone is invited.

This is exactly why we love seeing thousands of runners come together at the Bloomberg Square Mile Relay every year. 🧡 🧡 🧡

It’s true - the race village has become such a big part of the Bloomberg Square Mile Relay experience!

Yes, the relay is centred around running, but a huge amount of the value comes from everything around it that turns the event into a full evening of entertainment and connection.

Games, hospitality, music, food, informal conversations, teams spending time together away from the office - it creates a very different dynamic to the typical corporate event environment.

The energy is high, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the party vibes go on into the evening - what's not to like!? 🎉

One week on from the Bloomberg Square Mile Relay New York, and we're still buzzing.

Thousands of corporate runners came together at The Seaport for an evening of racing, client engagement and team competition.

What continues to make the relay so powerful is the impact it has beyond the course itself. Research by Contexis found that trust within organisations rose from 80% pre-event to 91% after participation in the relay.

A strong example of what shared experiences can still create in the corporate world.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in NYC, we'll see you next year!
