Registration of teams runs through Feb. 2

Registration for the 2001 Corporate Challenge will take place Tuesday through Feb. 2.

Corporate Challenge was initiated in 1986, in an effort to bring employees from all walks of life together to compete in areas other than the work place, focusing on fitness in the work place, employee morale and team spirit.

Teams may register in one of four divisions according to the size of the company. Teams have until mid-March to determine what events they will compete in.

Opening ceremonies take place on April 5 at the Fremont Street Experience, with games beginning April 7. Closing ceremonies are scheduled from May 12 when all awards will be presented.

For more information regarding the games, call Dave Park at 229-6706.
