Most dates for 2012 Series announced;
Events in 7 nations from March to November

NEW YORK, January 11, 2012 –The partial schedule for the 36th year of the JPMorgan Chase & Co. Corporate Challenge® Series was announced today, with 3.5-mile road races in 13 cities, including the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge Championship in Chicago.

The 2012 Series begins March 8 in Johannesburg, South Africa, one of seven different countries in five continents that will be visited. In total there will be seven U.S. events, and one each in South Africa, Singapore, Germany, the United Kingdom, China, and Australia.

Here is the to-the-minute schedule, with the projected opening day of registration for each city.

Cities that are listed as TBD will be announcing their race dates at least three months prior to event night. All 2011 company captains in all cities will automatically be notified via email when registration opens.

The J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge Championship will be conducted on the same race course on the same evening of the regularly-scheduled JPMorgan Chase & Co. Corporate Challenge in Chicago. This is the third year of the “Olympic-style rotation” of Championship cities, following successful events in Johannesburg in 2010 and Singapore last April. Details on the 2013 Championship — featuring the first place teams from 2012 Series events — will be announced later this year.

The world’s most popular sporting event for the full-time business community drew a JPMorgan Chase & Co. Corporate Challenge Series record 248,168 participants from 8,173 companies in 2011 and donated more than $600,000 to local not-for-profit organizations. The number of companies is the largest in the history of the Corporate Challenge Series.

The JPMorgan Chase 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).
