The Corporate Challenge will be held on Saturday, Oct. 6, 2007. The race will be held on a specially constructed racecourse. Race time is 4 pm. 

In 2005, for the first time, The Regatta offered a corporate challenge competition to businesses in the area, and two regional building contractors competed against each other.  The Pike Company defeated LeChase Construction to win the inaugural Corporate Challenge.

In 2006, Pike Construction sponsored the Corporate Challenge Event, which was renamed The Pike Corporate Challenge.  Pike and LeChase again participated, and were joined by Crews from M.E. Engineering, Harris Interactive (fielding two crews), Rochester Gas & Electric (fielding the area’s first minority crew program) and Manning & Napier.

For 2007, we welcome the following returning Corporate Participants: Harris Interactive, LeChase Construction, M.E. Engineering, Pike Company (2 crews) and Rochester Gas & Electric (returning the area's only minority crew).

We welcome new entries for this year, including Allied Building &Supply, and Camp Good Days & Special Times.

The crews will compete in two separate categories, with one category reserved for those boats whose members have never competed before this year.
