The R2EP Corporate Challenge (CC) is a friendly competition among local businesses; where CC teams in each city go head-to-head to reach the top of the leaderboard while building support for development initiatives across Africa!
The Corporate Challenge encourages leaders to form teams in their companies, and engage fellow employees in:
A Training Challenge - log training miles to surge ahead of the competition!
A Fundraising Challenge – build support R2EP’s African Partnerships!
The top three teams in each category will be formally recognized by Run To End Poverty & Engineers Without Borders (EWB) for their success.
Great Reasons for Starting a Challenge Team!
