2026 Corporate Challenge!
ABOUT
The Joplin Metro Corporate Challenge is the area's only, three-week Olympic-inspired employee engagement event that brings together large and small companies and organizations. From team sport participation to volunteer opportunities, your staff will use structured games that encourage team building, inspire cooperation, and supercharge health & wellness.
Most events occur at the Missouri Southern State University campus, Joplin Schools, Tee Time Webb City, and 4th Street Bowl.
Employees will have the chance to collaborate outside of the usual “office” settings.
Teams will have the opportunity to network with other local companies.
Participants are encouraged to represent their company by showcasing their physical fitness skills, teamwork, and problem-solving skills while having a blast!
Get in the game and give back!
