How can my company enter?
You can enter 13 J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge® events worldwide
right here at jpmorgan.com/cc.
On this website, consult the Series schedule and locate the city
in which you have an interest. Then click on that link and you will find
registration information and a contact number along with
links to online registration for that particular date. Unless otherwise noted, you can
enter as many J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge events
as you like and your entire company is eligible to participate,
as long as you and your teammates have met the eligibility requirements. (For Frankfurt, Germany registration, please visit jpmccc.de.)
Can I sign up as an individual?
No. The Corporate Challenge is a team event, and you must have a minimum of two men and two women; or four men; or four women; to be able to field a team.
I represent a trade association. Can our members sign up on our team instead of with their companies?
No, only employees of the association who meet the Eligibility Requirements may enter.
Why Is It Important to Wear a Race Number?
Because many thousands of people enter Corporate Challenge events,
the only way we can properly identify you is by your race number.
This becomes critically important in the event of a medical emergency.
Our event is also covered extensively by the media and through photography on
this web site and we strive to report 100-percent accurate information. We also have recently introduced chip timing, and because of this, race numbers are absolutely non-transferrable.
Where Should I Wear my Race Number?
Please pin it to the front of your shirt (we encourage all participants
to wear their company's t-shirt). If you do not wear a race number, you
and your company risk disqualification from the Corporate Challenge. Race numbers should never be photocopied.
Are walkers allowed?
Absolutely. The Corporate Challenge is an event for all comers— racers, joggers and walkers. For safety purposes, however, baby
strollers (and baby joggers) and non-service dogs are not allowed
on the race course.
What are the eligibility requirements?
There are detailed eligibility requirements provided on the Eligibility Rules page
for each city on this website. Topline,
however, our event is open to all employees of corporations, businesses
and financial institutions, just as long as they work 25 hours per week
and have been employed by the company for at least three months prior to race night.
I work in Chicago? Can I run in your New York event too?
Sure, as long as you meet the team eligibility requirements.
How much does it cost to register my team?
The cost is equal to the number of runners from your company times
the per person entry fee posted on the website. There is no separate team
entry fee. There is an additional credit card fee if you choose to pay by credit or debit card.
Can I register a team on race night?
We do not accept race night registration. Each event has a pre-race registration deadline.
Can I register all of my team members myself?
For legal reasons, all participants must register themselves, to accept the Agreement and Release personally.
Where does my entry fee go?
JPMorgan Chase & Co. owns and operates the Corporate Challenge Series. Operating expenses (e.g. permit fees, medical, t-shirts, food & beverage, event operations) exceed revenues taken in from registration.
What options do I have for paying the entry fees for my team?
You may pay the entry fees online by credit card or by mailing in one single check.
My runners are paying a portion of their entry fee. How do I set up my company's payment method?
Set your payment method as “Team Captain Pays.” This allows your runners to
sign up online without being required to pay their entry fee online. When all
of your runners are registered, you can either pay online for the team by
credit card or mail in one check covering all of the entry fees. The system
will not accept partial credit card payment from individual runners. We
cannot accept individual checks from runners.
I signed up my company online, but did not receive a confirmation email. What should I do?
Add “confirmation@jpmorganchasecc.com” to your address book.
This ensures that you will receive future email correspondence from the
race coordinator. Next, please send an email to
confirmation@jpmorganchasecc.com
requesting a second confirmation email. Please include the city you are
registering for along with your company name. Remember, you will not
receive the second confirmation unless you have added our email address
to your address book.
I did not receive my runner entry confirmation email. How can I find out if I am entered?
If you are entered, your name will appear in the team roster on your company's home page. Head to the home page of the race you entered. Click on
“Company Home Pages” in the “About” box on the left side of your screen and select your company's name. If no roster appears, you can click on "Confirm" in the "About" box and
fill in the Entry Confirmation screen. Be sure to add
“confirmation@jpmorganchasecc.com” to your email address
book. This ensures that you will receive future email correspondence
from the race coordinator.
How do we change our Company Captain?
Please contact the Race Coordinator listed for your city
in the At A Glance box, located at the upper left side
of your city's homepage.
Who is the beneficiary of this event?
During the 2013 J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge Series, JPMorgan
Chase & Co. will donate more than $700,000 to not-for-profit organizations
throughout the Series cities. You can access a chart that lists
the specific beneficiary in each city by clicking
here.
It's very hot/raining/snowing (etc.) Is the race on?
The Corporate Challenge is, normally, a rain or
shine event. We have had some weather-related cancellations in
34 years of operation. However, there have been instances where
we have turned off the time clocks and encouraged all participants
to sit out the event or, if they must participate, go well below
their regular training pace. If weather affects the Corporate
Challenge on race day, we will announce it on this website promptly. Bookmark www.jpmorganchasecc.com
and check back regularly. You will also want to “like” our Facebook page for timely updates. In the U.S., the address is www.facebook.com/corporatechallenge. For an event outside of the U.S., the address is www.facebook.com/(nameofcity)corporatechallenge. The only city in the Series without a Facebook presence is Shanghai
Where can I park/how can I get around on race night?
Click on your city's link on the home page of this website. You'll find traffic information (street closings, restrictions), parking details and driving directions listed under the maps/directions link. However, note that the Corporate Challenge strongly recommends car-pooling or public transportation to our race sites.
How are the results compiled?
We score three categories — Men’s Team (four men), Women’s
Team (four women), Mixed Team (two men, two women). It is solely
up to the Company Captain to determine what participants go on which
teams after the runners have turned in their times that evening.
You cannot place an employee on two separate scoring teams. You do not have to enter everyone's time.
How and when do I submit my company teams' times?
Confirm your team scores online within 24 hours after the race using Captains Tools. The scoring system will automatically make scoring team assignments which you may change before confirming. You must confirm each team to submit their scores.
When will the team results be ready?
Normally, complete team results from a particular city will be on
this website approximately two weeks following the completion of the event.
Thank you for your patience with this, as every entrant’s
eligibility requirements must be screened.
There is a problem with the results. How can it be fixed?
If you feel there is a discrepancy in the results, please contact
us at series-info@jpmorganchasecc.com.
We will investigate immediately and get back to you.
Can my company enter the T-shirt contest?
In the cities where we include a T-shirt contest, we’d love it, and so will your employees. You will find the
necessary information on this website. Start by going
to the T-shirt Contest page under the General Information link for your city.
Where can we get a high-resolution Series logo for our design?
The Corporate Challenge logo library is available at www.jpmorganchasecc.com/events.php?page=logos.
I saw my picture on the website. Can I get a copy?
We try to fulfill all reasonable requests. Contact us at
series-info@jpmorganchasecc.com
and be very specific about the photo you are referencing. We will
do our very best to locate the photo and then we will get back
to you with how you can get a digital copy.
I received an email from JPMorgan Chase requesting personal information, including confirmation of my account. Why did I receive this and what should I do?
The J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge does not send emails requesting you to reply with your credit card details. If you suspect any sort of fraud, such as phishing, please visit http://www.chase.com.
