When we come together like this, you really get the feeling that we are one team,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>After the race, our colleagues in our production kitchen had, of course, prepared a delicious meal. The menu included grilled porchetta, grilled young chicken breast, carrot pur\u00e9e, stracciatella with cherry tomatoes, new potatoes and focaccia \u2013 a great opportunity to gather and enjoy the evening together.<\/p>\n<p>And that is exactly one of the things we value about the DHL Relay Race. It is not just about being the first to cross the finish line, but about being part of a community where we cheer each other on and create great experiences together.<\/p>\n<p>A huge thank you to all colleagues who cheered, walked or ran the five kilometres.
