Step into the NTIA Weekend: ATIA Wellness 5K Powered by Albatross Tours

The travel industry is set to start NTIA weekend on the right foot with the launch of the inaugural ATIA Wellness 5k powered by Albatross Tours.

The social run will take place on Saturday 18 October, beginning with a 6.30am meet-up at South Bank ahead of joining the South Bank parkrun at 7.00am. Attendees can run, jog or walk the 5km course.

After crossing the finish line, celebrate with a post-run breakfast hosted by Flight Centre and Healthwise Global, FCTG's internal wellness division at its Brisbane office which will be the perfect chance to refuel, catch up with colleagues, and kick off the biggest day in the travel calendar on a high note.

With the National Travel Industry Awards (NTIA) Gala taking place on Saturday evening and the Beyond Borders Travel Summit on Friday, the ATIA Wellness 5k offers another way for the industry to connect -this time through movement and wellness.

Registrations are now open, with participants encouraged to sign up early to secure their official ATIA Wellness 5k shirt & breakfast hosted by Flight Centre. Plans are already underway to make the event an annual tradition.

Quotes attributable to Dean Long, CEO of ATIA:

“We’re so excited to be adding something new to NTIA weekend. The ATIA Wellness 5k is about more than just fitness - it’s about celebrating health, wellbeing, and camaraderie in our industry. What better way to start the biggest day on the travel calendar than with a run or walk alongside friends and colleagues!”

Quotes attributable to James Hewlett, Director of Sales and Marketing at Albatross Tours:

“At Albatross Tours, we know that wellness is not only central to how we travel, but also to how we live and thrive which is why we are so excited to be partnering with ATIA to launch the inaugural ATIA Wellness 5k. The run gives our industry the chance to stretch the legs, soak up the buzz of a Brisbane morning and set the pace for what promises to be an unforgettable weekend.”
