Katrina Tarrant, Mitch Green and Vanessa Balfour join forces for the International Realty Queenstown Marathon.
The Announcement:
Three international members of the Harcourts team have come together to complete the International Realty Queenstown Marathon.
Katrina Tarrant, CEO of Harcourts NSW and Mitch Green, Head of People and Culture, crossed the Tasman to join Vanessa Balfour, Wellington Regional Manager, in Queenstown.
“The International Realty Queenstown Marathon presented by ASICS is an annual running festival set in the stunning Queenstown Lakes district,” Ms Balfour said.
“Queenstown is indeed one of the most breathtaking places in New Zealand, and the Queenstown Marathon is a major highlight for runners worldwide.
“The combination of stunning landscapes and the running challenge makes it a truly special event.”
Mr Green said the idea came about during a visit to New Zealand.
“Vanessa invited me while I was over for NZLC and I thought it sounded like a great idea,” Mr Green said.
“I knew Kat had ambitions of one day running a half, so I sent her a message and she quickly came back with a ‘yes’.
“We all had different training plans that we shared with each other in our ‘Run Club’ workplace chat group.”
Ms Tarrant said the achievement was a personal goal.
“Completing my first half marathon was deeply personal, a journey that mirrored a year of transformation and resilience,” Ms Tarrant said.
“Running alongside the unwavering support of my Harcourts family, I was lifted by my incredible teammates, Vanessa and Mitch, whose encouragement made each stride lighter.”
The Harcourts Run Club has been born, with plans in place already for expansion of the initiative.
