All sorts of events for all sorts of people

16 different events over 10 days - something for everyone from seriously social to hard out!!! So people of all ages and fitness can get involved with a team from their business.

It doesn't matter whether you are an organisation of 3 or a corporate of 10,000, you can still take part, with many events only needing teams of three.

Your organisation/ division can enter into just one or several of the events.

There are trophies and medals for the serious teams, as well as lots of fun for those who just want to play.

Building your team - commitment, fun

The Games are about team work and building esprit de corps, helping to make your organisation a great place to work.

In previous years business magazine Unlimited publishes its survey 20 best places to work. Today JRA and The New Zealand Herald have joined forces with the ‘JRA Best Workplaces Awards.’ Something that is always highlighted is the need to “make your organisation a fun place to work”.
