Vitality has launched an event to find the UK's ultimate business team with over 1,500 corporate athletes taking part.

The event will be hosted by over 30 sporting heroes including Rugby World Cup winners Will Greenwood and Maggie Alphonsi, Olympic Games gold medallist Mark Hunter and former World, Commonwealth and European world champion Roger Black MBE.

The day will be led by former Olympian turned professor, Greg Whyte, who is known for his involvement in Sport Relief with Jo Brand, John Bishop, James Cracknell and Cheryl Cole.

The event developed with the Sports Show Ltd will take place at the NEC in Birmingham on the 24th June.

Companies will test their skills against some of the world's leading corporations through a series of sporting tasks designed to challenge the key business strengths.

Set in a sporting metropolis, there will be over 1,500 corporate athletes and supporters competing across over 100 teams. 

Nick Read, commercial director at Vitality, said: "We believe in the power of sport to help inspire people to get active and live a healthy life. We are therefore delighted to be partnering with the Sports Show Ltd to launch Business Sports Day with Vitality, an event that will celebrate the importance of health, fitness and teamwork in a fun and exciting environment.

"Workplace wellness is becoming an increasingly pertinent issue around the UK's boardrooms. Our Britain's Healthiest Workplace research shows that companies which are concerned about employee wellbeing, and have an authentic culture of health within the business, typically have healthier and more productive employees."
