WHY DO PARTICIPANTS LOVE THE CORPORATE CUP?
The inclusive nature of the Corporate Cup enables participants from all areas to get out before, during, or after work and be physically active, whether that is by running or walking. Since the Corporate Cup’s inception in 1981, participants have enjoyed the many benefits of the event including:
- Improving overall fitness, endurance, and wellbeing
- A great team building event; boosting office morale with some friendly office competition
- A way to break up the day and get out of the office
- Brings together colleagues that have been working from home
- Socialise and get to know colleagues you may not normally chat to, while doing something active
- Participate in a phone call/meeting while walking outside and getting fresh air
There are plenty more reasons for why you should participate in the 2024 Corporate Cup – hear directly from some of our participants on why they love the event so much:
“I love that it motivates me to get outside and be active. My colleagues and I all commented that even when the weather seemed otherwise uninviting, we were motivated to get out for a least a short walk or run to contribute to the Corporate Cup.”
“The KM tracker option is excellent in helping to work exercise into my every day and has encouraged me to do much more daily walking, including to and from work.”
“Email reminders the day before were perfect – I would have forgotten once or twice without it. Every time I got to the starting line, volunteers greeted me with a big smile and lots of encouragement. Such a friendly atmosphere on the track – everyone happy to be outdoors and keen to talk about their run, even complete strangers.”
“It got me motivated to go on walks, which was great for my health but also my mental health. Also loved doing this with my work colleagues. Really enjoyed it.”
“I really love that it encourages me to walk more than my daily walk and to track my walking patterns and the positive outcome for my body and overall health.”
“I really love the flexibility of the KM Tracker Category. I did my first Corporate Cup in 2008 or 2009 but then after having kids and working part time from 2011 onwards I found the fixed dates and locations of the original Corporate Cup format did not fit in with my workdays/hours. Since the introduction of the KM Tracker Category I have been able to re-join my workplace’s Corporate Cup Team and enjoy it every year.”
