Capita Symonds’ team for the Intelligent Sport World
Series Final – the world’s most gruelling corporate challenge event
– is aiming to raise money for Macmillan Cancer
Support.
The Intelligent Sport World Series comprises 12 annual corporate
challenge events on six continents, culminating in December’s World
Series Final where the top teams from each event go head-to-head in
the ultimate showcase of team performance.
This year’s event is being held the Geopark Naturtejo da Meseta
Meridional in Central Portugal, close to the Spanish border, and
will see 30 elite teams from companies across the USA, South
Africa, Europe and the Far East taking part, including the US Air
Force.
Tom Davies, Capita Symonds’ Team leader says:
“The event takes place over four stages - spread over two days and
nights - and is fast and furious from the outset. The exact details
are kept a secret until the teams arrive, but the event is expected
to include running, mountain biking, navigating and strategising
over the four stages. In addition, it is likely that one of the
stages will be a build stage, in which the teams will have to use
items of equipment issued to them to build a machine or structure
to perform a task. Previous tasks have included constructing and
racing roman chariots, building and using rafts, and building a
crane to retrieve eggs from an obstacle course!”
