field of 39 teams announced for May 24 race

With the trees of Grant Park and the skyline of Chicago behind them, runners finish a JPMorgan Chase & Co. Corporate Challenge in America's third largest city. The 29th annual J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge Championship will be held in Grant Park on May 24th. |
NEW YORK, December 6, 2011 — The location, date and field of participations are all set for the world’s most prestigious corporate team road race.
The 29th annual J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge Championship is scheduled for Thursday, May 24, 2012 at Grant Park in Chicago. The 3.5-mile road race — which brings together the first-place men’s, women’s and mixed teams from each of the 13 JPMorgan Chase Corporate Challenge Series cities — will feature an exclusive collection of 39 teams and 156 total runners. They all will compete on a urban course in close proximity to Lake Michigan, The Loop and all the excitement of the third-largest city in the United States.
The Championship will start approximately five minutes before the regularly-scheduled JPMorgan Chase & Co. Corporate Challenge in Chicago, which in 2011 had more than 23,000 entrants.
Held in New York for the first 26 years of its existence, this will be the third Championship held in the current “Olympic rotation” of all Series cities. The 2010 Championship was conducted in Johannesburg, South Africa, and the 2011 event was conducted in Singapore. Bolt & Tool Africa from Johannesburg (men’s team), New York’s Morgan Stanley (women) and Johannesburg’s Goldfield (mixed) were the team champions in the latter.
The Chicago event will be the first U.S. event in the 2012 JPMorgan Chase Corporate Challenge Series. The complete schedule of 2012 events will be announced here at www.jpmorganchasecc.com in early January.
Following are all qualifying companies for the Championship event and their participants, ranked by finishing time in the three divisions.
