Big Corporate Challenge Returns

Hospice Isle of Man is to return of The Big Corporate Challenge, following its successful debut last year.

Sponsored by Flutter International, the event takes place on July 2 at Vagabonds Rugby Club and will see up to 20 local businesses battle it out.

Modelled on the much-loved BBC show It’s a Knockout, the challenge promises foam-filled fun, giant inflatables, and quirky obstacle courses with games such as I’m a Celebrity, Cannon Run, Beat the Cube, Teletubby Challenge, and more.

Teams of up to 10 will battle it out in the name of fun and fundraising, with medals awarded to the top performers.

Corporate Challenge

Last year’s competition saw IQ-EQ take the top spot. Chris McKernan, Associate Director of IQ-EQ expressed his excitement for the event this year: “IQ-EQ have entered again for 2025.

“The team absolutely loved the event last year, there was great mix of games and challenges and we can’t wait to see what’s in store for this year. Whatever it is, we are hopeful we can defend our crown as champions.”

Now taking place on a weekday at 4:30pm in a new venue at Vagabonds, the event has been designed to make it easier than ever for corporate teams to take part.

“We’re really looking forward to seeing companies of every size getting involved this year,” said Vanessa Smith, Head of Income Generation at Hospice Isle of Man. 

Get Involved

She added: “Whether you’re in it to win it or just want to share a laugh with colleagues, it’s a fantastic way to show your support for Hospice and build stronger connections as a team.”

Entry is £500 per team, and places are limited to 20 teams.

All proceeds go directly to supporting the care and services provided by Hospice Isle of Man. Register now on hospice.org.im/bigchallenge.
