The streets of Dublin’s Docklands area will echo to the beat of 6,000 feet, and the sound of a number of wheelchair wheels tonight as the Annual Grant Thornton Challenge takes place over a 5 kilometre circuit.
Last year’s event was won by the Defence Forces, narrowly edging out Davy into second and the Garda team into 3rd.
This year’s event has been sold out for nearly a month and the event is a big winner for the sponsor, for Athletics Ireland and for the concept of wellbeing and fitness at work.
A large number of Sport for Business members will be in action. Lat year they included AIB, GloHealth, Titan Marketing, PwC, Microsoft, Accenture, Paralympics Ireland, Wilson Hartnell, Dublin City Council, Leman Solicitors, Beauchamps Solicitors, Fleishman Hilliard and more.
The growth in importance of wellness programmes in the workplace will feature as part of a Sport for Business Round Table event on Wednesday, November 25th. If you are interested in taking part in this please enter your email address below and we will be in touch shortly.
