Finding your stride

Training, Energy and the Road to RTB.

Finding your stride

Southern Cross Round the Bays isn’t just another run - it’s one of New Zealand’s most loved community events. It’s about showing up, feeling good and finding the energy to LIVE FIT in your own way.

Training for Real Life

Modern fitness isn’t just heavy lifting, endless cardio, or chasing down split times, it’s anything that puts the body and mind in motion. A run along the waterfront. Morning yoga. A walk around the block after work. The journey to Round the Bays is as individual as every participant.

And life doesn’t pause just because you’re in training mode. Work deadlines still pop up, the weather still changes, and social plans can sometimes take priority. The key is consistency, not perfection. Every session - whether it’s a long run, a quick jog, or a restorative stretch - moves you forward.

Finding What Works for You

Every individual creates their own routines, eating and drinking habits based on their needs. The same goes for energy. Some days you’re gearing up for a long training run; other days, it’s a short recovery stroll. It’s about finding balance and making choices that support both your physical and mental wellbeing.

CELSIUS® is created with ingredients that aim to serve the active and busy consumer without sacrificing a delicious, refreshing taste. With no sugar, premium ingredients, and a wide variety of familiar fruit-forward flavours, CELSIUS fits seamlessly into a lifestyle that values movement, balance, and making the most of every day.

Building Momentum for Race Day

As you prepare for Round the Bays, here are a few simple ways to keep your training on track and enjoyable:

  1. Make it social
    Running or walking with friends, family, or a local club adds motivation and makes the kilometres feel easier.
  2. Mix up your movement
    Include a variety of workouts, from speed sessions to long, easy runs, plus activities like cycling, swimming, or strength training. Variety keeps things fresh and your body resilient.
  3. Fuel and hydrate mindfully
    Listen to your body. Stay hydrated and choose food and beverages that support your active lifestyle.
  4. Plan for the unexpected
    Even a quick 15–20-minute jog or walk can help you stay consistent on busy days.
  5. Celebrate milestones
    Whether it’s your longest run yet or just feeling stronger on a hill you used to avoid, recognise the wins along the way.

A Partnership Built on Energy

It’s no secret that energy drinks are relevant to those who live active, busy lives from gym-goers to working professionals and everyone in between. In a crowded category, CELSIUS continues to carve out a space for itself as a brand founded in fitness, committed to helping people LIVE FIT every day.

That’s why CELSIUS is proud to partner with Round the Bays. The event celebrates exactly what LIVE FIT is all about, bringing people together, moving in a way that works for them, and enjoying every step of the journey.

Your Race, Your Way

When the starting horn sounds, you’ll be ready and not just because of the kilometres you’ve clocked, but because you’ve found a way to train, live, and energise that works for you.

So here’s to the early mornings, the after-work runs, the weekend long sessions, and the short bursts of movement in between. Here’s to making the most of every day.

See you at Round the Bays - refreshed, energised, and ready to LIVE FIT.
