About 800 “corporates” in 75 teams took part in the Ray White Hatea Loop Challenge last Thursday evening. Although the 4.5km run/walk event was designed for workplaces to have fun, it was an officially timed event to allow for an element of competition. Northern Advocate photographer John Stone went along and took the photos.
