words from the participants:

“it was the second time i teamed up with colleagues to participate in the spartan corporate championship charity race. this year’s competition improved significantly in terms of difficulty and put more emphasis on teamwork, especially during the rock climbing session. for the first time, corporate championship racers were required to find ways to cooperate in order to climb the rock face without any rope. i was honoured to have harry and lyu ge as teammates this time. in the rock climbing session, we worked together to build a ladder with our bodies, constantly adjusting the order and strategy while climbing. i hope that more colleagues will join together to participate next time.”

“last sunday, i brought my children along to join the spartan race for kids. the race allowed children to challenge themselves and break through limits, and provided an enjoyable family day that helped me with my work-life balance. i would like to say thank you to everbright for inviting us to these thoughtfully planned activities. i am hoping to join again next year.”
