With over 200 competitors and more spectators, this will be one of the best inter firm events in the country” John Hurley CEO Kilkenny Chamber of Commerce.

“Wellbeing initiatives in the workplace make sense with 6 out of 10 employees saying they will stay with an employer that shows concern for their wellbeing. Company cultures that embrace community, that are diverse and where people feel valued achieve more. County Carlow Chamber is delighted to be involved in this inter firm challenge that promotes employee wellbeing and gets people talking about it” Brian O’Farrell CEO County Carlow Chamber
The finale of the evening will be a prize giving ceremony to crown CORE 2018 BEST TEAM Champion, followed by a BBQ in the heart of The Discovery Park’s beautiful woodlands.
