The J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge Championship will be conducted on the same race course on the same evening of the regularly-scheduled J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge in Rochester. This is the fourth year of the “Olympic-style rotation” of Championship cities, following successful events in Johannesburg (2010), Singapore (2011) and Chicago (2012). Details on the 2014 Championship — featuring the first place teams from 2013 Series events — will be announced later this year.
The world’s most popular sporting event for the full-time business community drew a J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge Series record 253,041 participants from 8,024 companies in 2012 and donated more than $700,000 to local not-for-profit organizations.
The J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge Series celebrates team work. Unlike other road races, you can not enter the Corporate Challenge as an individual and each event is held on a weeknight, immediately after work. It is designed so companies and their employees can come together in a healthy, camaraderie-filled environment. All levels of employees are eligible to enter with a company being able to register an unlimited number of entries (with a minimum of four).
