Bermuda Corporate Games Schedule Released
The Bermuda Corporate Games is not only the largest multi-sport event in the Atlantic, it’s also breaking records in the global Corporate Games community, by having the most athletes per capita to ever compete in the global phenomenon.
With over 85 participating companies and close to 1500 athletes competing in 15 different sports, the Games has attracted 3.25% of Bermuda’s working population- the largest percentage ever in Corporate Games history.
According to information from participating organizations, athletes will not only represent Bermuda, the Bermuda Corporate Games organization is also anticipating up to 70 athletes to be travelling from Toronto, Orlando, Bucharest, Istanbul, New York, Colorado, the United Kingdom, Miami and California to compete.
The Games, which begin on Thursday of this week through to Sunday, will see every day athletes representing large and small companies, organizations and charities, spreading out across the island to compete in sports from badminton to beach volleyball, golf to netball, tennis, to ten pin bowling, squash and seven other sports, in a spirit of friendly competition.
Throughout the four day extravaganza, the athletes and the public are also invited to attend four different social events including a beach barbecue and after–party at the Deep night club on Friday to a massive Street Festival on Front Street, complete with live bands, international food stalls, prizes and a grand parade of all athletes. It’s a party for the community.
Atlantic Region Licensee holder, Suzie Pewter, President of the Whitfield Group Ltd., commented, “We’re so proud of the amount of enthusiasm, energy and participation we’ve received from the local and global community, and this is only our first year.
“My mindset in purchasing the license for the Atlantic region was to give Bermuda another platform to build global business development opportunities, expose Bermuda’s natural beauty and sporting facilities to the world and provide a welcome distraction to social and economic challenges that we’ve been experiencing.
“I’m happy to say, that with the help of the team at the Bermuda Corporate Games, our Sponsors and the entire community our mission has truly been accomplished.”
