    Participants of this year’s team-building day will have the opportunity to race with camels, test themselves in Fencing or quad biking and try a game of bubble soccer among many other challenges.

    Aside from showcasing unique and fun labours that no other teambuilding day has, Hercules Trophy also brings networking that sets this event in a class of its own.

     “We are not just a team building day,” Yves Vekemans, President and CEO of Hercules Trophy announced. “We are a sport and entertainment experience that results in team building within a company and networking between companies.”

    All it takes to participate and form a team is at least seven motivated people who want to have outrageous fun and you don’t have to be an athlete to participate.

    From the opening pumping up ceremony, all participants get to do the Hercules dance and participate in the flag ceremony.

    The event involves healthy food and music to give the event the fun vibe. Families and supporters come along and there are even challenges for the kids.

    All 12 labours have been announced, each one a little crazier than the other. To give teams a bit of an idea what they can expect and prepare for, here’s a guide to the announced labours.

    Camel Pole Race Daman Hercules Trophy organizers will have teams competing for points by racing camels, but will be given a handicap in order not to make it too easy on the teams.

    FlipIt – Participants will step into a cargo container-sized inflatable cube and teams need to attempt to flip this cube as many times as possible within 2 minutes.

    Quads– 2 people per team will work together to drive a desert buggy then around obstacles and be given tasks before they pass on the buggy to their team mates.

    Other Labours include fun and interesting variations on: Fencing, Eliminator, Kart Building, Bubble Soccer, Cyclo Carts, Truck Pulling, Abami Challenge, Fitness Boxing and the Adventure HQ Challenge.

    Entries are heating up with only a month to go and teams are already starting to develop their team strategy’s and songs for a day out to be remembered. Daman Hercules Trophy will once again be a family friendly event.

    Participants are encouraged to bring along their family and partners, with plenty of activities waiting for them at The Sevens Stadium. The little ones can even help out and earn points by participating in the Junior Hercules Trophy.

    Registration is still open for teams with limited sponsorship opportunities left. To take a look at past Daman Hercules Trophy events visit their website at herculestrophy.ae or their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/herculestrophyuae.
