About Us

Overview

Each year DFW-area businesses take part in the City of Richardson’s Corporate Challenge – and the results are extraordinary. The Corporate Challenge is a professionally run, volunteer-driven, Olympic-style competition involving as many as 25 athletic and non-athletic events produced by the City of Richardson Parks & Recreation Department. A managing board, made up of a select group of company representatives and City employees, develops the policies and procedures that rule and govern the events. The 10-week competition kicks-off with an Opening Ceremony in August and then proceeds to competitions in events ranging from the very physical softball and basketball to the more sedentary darts, billiards and miniature golf. The Challenge wraps up with the Closing Cremony in October. All events take place in the evenings and on weekends. Each company competes in one of two Corporate Challenge levels. Each level is separated into divisions based on similar size employee base and past participation. Company placement within divisions will be determined after the registration deadline. This is to ensure ideal balance of teams for competition. The Corporate Challenge promotes, enables and supports teamwork, company pride and corporate wellness – all through healthy competition. In addition to the employee benefits, the Challenge can also be used as a cost-effective marketing tool to promote your company in the community and garner business. The Richardson Corporate Challenge is patterned after the enormously successful games in Las Vegas.
