Harbourside at the Bluenose!
Our Dartmouth office has made it an annual tradition to participate in the Bluenose Marathon. More specifically, the 5km run. This makes sure the event is accessible as possible to the wider team.
Since Harbourside’s main office is located in Dartmouth, there are a lot of different divisions under one roof. The Bluenose is a great opportunity for staff from different teams to meet, train together, and build new relationships!

Training for the Run
Leading up to the event, staff were excited to train. It wasn’t long before regular runs were happening over lunch. Friendly encouragement (and a bit of competition) helped keep things lively. A Teams Chat was quickly created to help keep things organized. Members from HEC, HGC, and WSL (Concrete) were all eager to improve their times from the previous year.
The Day of the Event
The day was a little chillier than anticipated, but spirits were high. The weather would make for better conditions once the run began and encouraged everyone to warm up before the main event.
Everyone performed amazingly well. Those who wanted to challenge themselves gave it their all, resulting in some remarkable run times. Others took things more casually, enjoying a leisurely run with their coworkers. All-in-all, it was a fantastic showing. It was a great example of Harbourside team building. To celebrate the early morning accomplishment, the group came together afterward for a well-deserved coffee and breakfast.
