Olympic Sports Day

It works for small teams and very large company groups. We can run it for anything from a single department to a large staff event, as long as the venue has enough space. If you're planning a high headcount day, we'll shape the format around flow, rotation times and how many activity zones are needed.

Two hours is the most common format. For larger groups, or if you want more activities and a fuller ceremony element, it can run to around three hours. We can also advise on a shorter version if you're fitting it into a wider conference or away day timetable.

Yes, if you have suitable outdoor space such as a lawn, field or open grounds. We can also run it at hired venues, including hotel grounds and sports spaces. If you're not sure whether your site is suitable, we can assess it and be honest about what will and won't work there.

Usually, yes, it's best outdoors because the format needs room to move and separate activity areas. That said, some versions can be adapted for indoor sports halls or large covered spaces. If we move indoors, we would swap or adjust certain activities to suit the floor, ceiling height and available space.

That depends on your group and venue, but common rounds include relay races, hurdles, skipping races, javelin style throws, tug of war, dodgeball, volleyball, football, hockey drills and novelty races. We choose a mix that keeps the pace up and gives different personalities a chance to contribute.

Yes. This event is built for mixed groups, not trained athletes. The best sessions include a range of challenges, so people can contribute through coordination, encouragement, tactics and team support as well as physical effort. If your group would hate a hard fitness session, we can keep it fun and accessible.

Comfortable clothes they can move in, plus trainers. Sportswear is ideal, but people don't need specialist kit. If the event is outdoors, it's sensible to bring layers or waterproofs depending on the forecast.

Yes. We bring the activity kit, team markers such as bibs or colours, and the staff needed to run the event. We also handle setup, pack-down, hosting, scoring and on-site safety cover. We'll confirm exactly what's included in your proposal, so there are no surprises later.

Not always. If you already have a suitable space, we can bring the event to you. If you don't, we can help you source a venue that fits the group size and activity mix. Venue hire is usually a separate cost unless we've included it in your quote.

It's usually moderate rather than intense. People will be moving, but the event is designed around short rounds and broad participation, not endurance sport. We can adjust the activity mix if your team wants lighter involvement or if some participants need a lower impact option.

We normally split the group into smaller teams and give each one a country or colour identity. Teams then rotate through activities or play in heats, with points added to a running scoreboard. That structure keeps things clear and helps people bond quickly with their team.

Yes, that's one of the big differences between this and a simple sports afternoon. We usually finish with final scores, medals, podium photos or a closing ceremony. It gives the event a proper ending and makes the whole thing feel more joined-up.

It depends on the size of the event and the venue layout, but we normally need time on site before your group arrives to set activity zones, signage and kit. For larger events, that can be around 90 minutes or more. We'll plan timings with you and the venue well in advance.

Yes. We carry out risk assessment and run the event with trained staff and appropriate safety controls for the activities selected. We also have public liability insurance, and we include a first aider on site as standard for this type of event.
