The short answer
What does a corporate sports event company do?
A corporate sports event company plans and runs a company’s sports day, tournament or run from start to finish: venue booking, ground set-up and equipment, participant registration and team formation, referees and officials, live commentary and scoring, food and refreshment stations, trophies and medals, and photography. The HR team gets to compete and cheer instead of running around all day.
OM Events manages corporate sporting events across Chennai and Tamil Nadu, from 50-person sports days to 1,000+ participant events, and has run events for running communities including Marina Runnerz, Happy Feet Run, Nellai Runners and Stairathon. A corporate sports day in Chennai typically costs from about ₹150 per head for a simple format to ₹500 or more per head for a full-day multi-sport event with catering and awards.

Venues

The venue decides which sports you can run, how far people travel and what happens if it rains. We identify and book it around your headcount and the sports you choose.
Sports grounds and stadiums
Full-size fields for cricket, football and track events. Best for 300 to 1,000+ participants and Olympics-style days.

Indoor arenas
Badminton, table tennis, carrom and chess, and a monsoon-proof option for the whole programme.

Still have a question? Call +91 89391 74777. Most are answered in under five minutes.
What does a corporate sports event management company do?
It plans and runs a company’s sports day, tournament or run end to end: venue booking, ground set-up and equipment, participant registration and team formation, referees and officials, live commentary and scoring, food and refreshment stations, trophies and medals, and photography. The HR team can compete and cheer instead of coordinating.
How much does a corporate sports day cost in Chennai?
Corporate sports day costs in Chennai vary with headcount, the number of sports, the venue and catering. Events typically range from about Rs 150 per head for simple formats to Rs 500 or more per head for full-day multi-sport events with catering and awards. OM Events sends a detailed quote within 24 hours of a brief call.
How far in advance should we book a corporate sports day?
Book 4 to 6 weeks in advance for a well-organised event. OM Events has managed events with 2 weeks’ notice, but popular weekend dates in Chennai fill quickly, especially between October and March.
What is the minimum team size for a corporate sports day?
OM Events has managed sports days for teams as small as 50 people and large productions for 1,000+ participants. Smaller teams work best with focused multi-sport formats; larger groups suit full-day Olympics-style events.
Do you provide trophies and medals?
Yes. Trophy and medal procurement and the award ceremony are part of the full event management package, and trophies can carry your company branding on request.
Can you organise a corporate sports day outside Chennai?
Yes. OM Events manages corporate sporting events across Tamil Nadu, including Coimbatore, Madurai and Trichy, and supports companies from Mumbai and Delhi running events in Chennai.
Which sports can we include in a corporate sports day?
Common choices are cricket, football, volleyball, throwball and tug of war; track events such as sprints, relays and obstacle races; fun races such as the sack race and lemon and spoon; and indoor games such as badminton, carrom and chess. Mixing team sports, track events and indoor games gives every employee something to enter.
Do you organise corporate fun runs and marathons?
Yes. We run corporate fun runs, charity runs and marathon events, from route planning and participant registration to timing, refreshment stations and the finishing ceremony, and have worked on running events for Marina Runnerz, Happy Feet Run, Nellai Runners and Stairathon.
Can you run an inter-company cricket or football tournament?
Yes. We handle match scheduling, ground set-up, umpiring and officials, live scoring and the trophy ceremony for inter-department and inter-company tournaments.
Where can we hold a corporate sports day in Chennai?
Sports grounds, turf facilities, school and college grounds, resort lawns, or your own campus if it has open space. We identify and book the venue based on your headcount, the sports and travel time for your employees.
What happens if it rains on the day?
We plan a weather fallback with the venue, such as covered areas and indoor games that can move under cover, and build buffer time into the schedule so events can be rearranged rather than cancelled.
Can non-sporty employees and families take part?
Yes. Fun races, tug of war and indoor games such as carrom and chess give everyone a way to join in, and cheering teams and supporters’ zones make it a day for the whole company rather than only the athletes.
