Holly Brown, her husband and their two children will be four of over 1000 people taking part in the Tauranga Half Marathon and fun runs tomorrow morning.
The family have entered the 'Matua mile', a fun run happening as part of the half marathon event.
They are part of over100 people sponsored by ZESPRI for employees and their families, which Mrs Brown said has boosted sign-ups from the company.
As the global human resources manager for ZESPRI, Mrs Brown said the sponsoring was brought in to promote and encourage family time and employee well-being in the busy kiwifruit season.
However the ZESPRI team will also be running to support the National Heart Foundation after the sudden passing of a colleague.
