Start your engines for this high-energy, hands-on Go-Kart Competition that combines creativity, collaboration, and friendly rivalry. In this team building program, groups work together to design, build, and race custom people-powered go-karts from provided blueprints and materials – all while sporting decorated jumpsuits and high-octane team spirit.

Program Agenda

Teams begin by appointing a Pit Crew Boss to lead their go-kart project. Using basic materials like axles, wheels, and lumber, each team must construct a race-ready chassis according to precise specifications to ensure both integrity and safety.

Once the base is built, the real fun begins: transforming the kart with themed styling – from muscle cars and Formula One racers to wild-card designs like tractors or UFOs. While some teammates assemble the kart, others decorate their driver’s uniform and create a high-energy “Champions’ Chant” to prepare for race day.

After a full safety inspection, teams take to the track to race in heats. Points are awarded for creativity, construction quality, team spirit, and race performance. In the final showdown, the best crews face off in a high-speed dash for the gold medals and ultimate bragging rights.

They also really enjoyed the icebreaker at the beginning of the program. We will keep you in mind for future team building activities. Overall, great job! Thanks again.

The Go-Kart Competition was extremely organized. Our group loved it! They all had a blast creating their themes for the go-carts and driver’s suits, but the most fun was the races. Great Experience!
Johnson & Johnson logoLeslieJohnson & Johnson
It was great to see people working together in person to complete a project, people who usually work on the phone together, some not at all, to complete a very time consuming task. In my opinion, the most fun was watching and participating in the go-kart race and the beginning icebreaker. I appreciated everything starting and ending on time. Time management is very important to the Quality Team, especially since our time was limited. Judging from the looks on everyone’s face, everyone really enjoyed it. We’ll recommend it to anyone!

Everything turned out really great. Hattie and her team were amazing. I was hoping to get her a little more information about our industry/Shimmick to help "customize" it a little more, and never got to it. But she went on to our website and did her own research, which I was very impressed by. She was able to customize it on the fly and killed it. Thank you to you and your team so much for making this happen at the last minute! BEST will definitely be our first stop for team building next year.
