Calgary Corporate Challenge: Enjoying Competition, Comradery, and Celebration!

Team YMCA is ready to hit the 5K run, wearing their red YMCA shirts and runner numbers.

You’ve likely heard of Corporate Challenge: two weeks of fun, competition, and team building in September through a number of events between organizations around Calgary, including YMCA Calgary. From team sports, individual sports, video games, card games, trivia, and more, there was something for everyone to participate in. 

This year, the YMCA Calgary team was thrilled to participate in a number of events. From bocce ball to soccer to truck pulling and so much more, we had a blast taking part in some friendly competitions with our fellow Calgary organizations.  

We’re not going to lie – even though we’re so much more than gym and swim, we were certainly motivated by the potential to win some medals, and win we did! We took home a gold and silver this year! 

Check out some of the fun our team had below!
