Foxtel Group

Over 100 people from team Foxtel Group ran with heart in this year’s Sydney City2Surf, braving the 14 km course from the CBD, up the iconic Heartbreak Hill and over the finish line at Bondi Beach.   We were grateful to be supporting two of our Community Partners as part of our participation, sponsoring members of the Clontarf Foundation to run with us on the day, and fundraising for Raise Foundation, an Australian not-for-profit that connects young people with mentoring.     Our annual City2Surf run is one of our keystone FOXFIT events. FOXFIT is our holistic wellbeing program designed to empower our people with the tools and resources to get well, stay well and be their best. Congratulations to everyone who participated, represented our business, supported our Community Partners and promoted their own physical and mental wellbeing to stay FOXFIT.    #FOXFIT #C2S2024 #City2Surf #lifeatfoxtelgroup   Adrian Doyle, Mahana Currie, Rachael Gaunt, Amogha Amaresh, Alex Garth, Vida Scott, Peter Daly, Calli Tsipidis, Blake Hunt, Shaila Pervin, PhD, Jonathan Sepulveda, Quentin Chelle, Florent Bastide.
