The annual Richardson Corporate Challenge, a 10-week, Olympic-style competition coordinated by the City’s Parks and Recreation Department, kicks off tonight, Aug. 9, at Huffhines Park at 5:30 p.m. If you’re traveling near there around that time, expect an increase in traffic—employees, spouses and retirees from 41 local companies will participate in the Challenge, and many show up for the kick-off event.
The 2024 Corporate Challenge is sponsored by State Farm and features 22 events ranging from athletic sports such as basketball and pickleball to non-athletic contests such as dominoes and Texas Hold ’Em. It raises funds for Special Olympics Texas, more than $3.26 million since the first Corporate Challenge in 1998.
