We would like to invite you to the first event in THE PARK this year. Come and take part in the athletic and fun competition entitled THE PARK SPRING HEPTATHLON.

The spring heptathlon is tailor-made to all of you who use the mobile phone and computer mouse as their main means of production, who dress in stylish jackets and elegant suits instead of overalls and who have not heard “knock off” for ages. Exchange the proverbial quiet and peace of your openspace for tumultuous atmosphere of office sports competition.

Basic information

THE PARK SPRING HEPTATHLON will take place on Wednesday 21 April 2010. This entertaining competition tournament is designated for four-member teams. At least one member of the team must be a woman. The capacity of the competition is set in advance for 32 teams. The teams which will register upon the depletion of the capacity will be included in the tournament as the substitutes.

Tournament Course

Each team will gradually take part in 7 contest disciplines in the surrounding of the CLUB HOUSE restaurant. The time for the fulfillment of each task is set to about 5 – 10 minutes. Thus, the total time of the contest of one team will amount to approximately an 1 hour. In the registration it is possible to choose a starting time. It means that you can plan the participation in the contest according to your needs. Two teams at a time will compete to ensure higher motivation. The continuous results of the teams will be displayed on the central result table during the whole duration of the tournament. The experienced instructors will lead you through the entire contest.

Disciplines

Original disciplines await you, inspired by the seemingly gray and boring reality of office life. For instance a brisk warm-up (with indispensable post-it notes), diving (for a CD with boss’ presentation discarded by mistake), coffee relay race (on a difficult track among waste-paper baskets and dreaded file fence), sprint (to ringing phones) and many others.

Probably without knowing it, you train for this race every day. And maybe you will get an inspiration and compete in some of the disciplines in your own office one day (with boss on holiday, of course).

All necessary tools for managing the prepared disciplines will be provided to you during the competition. The exact rules of the activities will be explained to you by the instructors at the individual stations. The competition will take place no matter of what the weather will be like.

Required outfit

An ideal outfit for the spring office heptathlon should naturally be stylish. For gentlemen we recommend a suit, shirt and tie; for ladies a two-piece suit is most appropriate. Only shoes make an exception of the typical office outfit. Please present yourselves in athletic shoes.

Registration

The registration will take place from Tuesday 6 April to Tuesday 20 April 2009. For the registration of a team click here.

Prizes

THE PARK partners prepared interesting offers for all participants. You can have a quarter of pizza for free in the CLUB HOUSE, a free sandwich with a small drink in SUBWAY.

The first three teams win further interesting prizes. For instance a card with CZK 1,000 to the CLUB HOUSE or free sandwich coupons in SUBWAY.

The announcement of the winners will take place immediately upon the termination of the competition, approximately at 4 p.m. in front of the CLUB HOUSE restaurant.

All participants will participate in THE PARK SPRING HEPTATHLON at their own risk. The medical supervision will be ensured by the organizer. The organizer reserves the right to make any change in the rules during the tournament.
