Mt. Beautiful's properties may be on New Zealand's South Island but we have a sales and marketing team in the U.S. that is passionate about the brand and and also an active bunch! 
With our U.S. office located in the San Francisco Bay Area, within close proximity to Sonoma and Napa wine countries where a couple "Destination Races" take hold, includiing the popular Healdsburg Half Marathon, we saw a natural tie-in to creating a U.S. running team aptly named the South Pacific Pacers.
Suzanna Mannion, our Marketing Manager organized the running team in 2017 for the Healdsburg Half Marathon however wildfires canceled the event that year. The team reformed in 2018 and successfully completed the event with 10 "pacers" (i.e. runners) in addition to our Western U.S. Sales Manager Tiffany Tonnerre and Executive Administrator Maura Sullivan who staffed what proved to be a very popular post-race tasting station at the finish line!
As much fun as running 13.1 miles was had by all the participants and it looks like the South Pacific Pacers will be making a comeback to the Healdsburg Half for years to come, and will hopefully grow our team as the years go by.
