The J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge Series is a world-wide series of 3.5-mile (5.6-km) running events open to groups of full-time employees from organizations within the business and public sectors. Participants may register only as part of a company team - no individual entries are accepted. After the race, each organization groups its participants into an unlimited number of four (4)-person teams in order to determine the race's top teams. Awards are presented for individual and team performances.

Each company entered is led by a Company Captain, who creates the company team, recruits participants, and manages the team. Teams of competitive runners have a chance to qualify for the Series Championship, where they will compete against the champions from all the Series events for top honors in the corporate running community.

Participating companies use the event as a platform to promote health and fitness in the workplace, foster goodwill and camaraderie among their employees, and show their commitment to the community and best environmental practices. The Corporate Challenge strives to make a difference through a donation to a not-for-profit organization in each host city, and through our operations initiatives designed to make the Corporate Challenge the world's greenest road race.

Company Team Entry Fee Payment Setup

Participating companies can setup their team payment structure in one of three ways:

1. Individual: Each company employee submits their full payment upon completion of the online registration form including acknowledgement and agreement to the participant waiver.

2. Company: Each company employee will not be required to submit payment. The company captain submits full payment after ALL employees have completed their registration form including acknowledgement and agreement to the participant waiver.

3. Company and Individual Split Payment

a. Each company employee pays a pre-determined percentage of the registration fee upon completion of their registration form including acknowledgement and agreement to the participant waiver. The company captain submits payment for the balance after ALL employees have completed their registration form including acknowledgement and agreement to the participant waiver.

b. The company determines a set quantity of completed employee entries to be paid by the company. These entries will not require payment by the employee. Any number of entries completed beyond that quantity are paid by the employee as outlined in Options 2 or 3a. The company submits payment for the total balance after ALL employees have completed their registration form including acknowledgement and agreement to the participant waiver

Scoring and The Championship

The J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge will be scored using a chip scoring system. Each runner number will have a timing chip affixed to the back. Official timing for team scoring purposes begins when the participant crosses the start mat.

The Company Captain will determine the composition of the male, female and mixed teams representing his/her company AFTER the race. Teams must be organized online using Captain's Tools and in accordance with the scoring rules located here.

Participants will be automatically organized into 4-person male, female, and mixed teams based on the chip times. Each name will be assigned to only ONE (1) team. The score for each team is obtained by adding together the finish times for all four (4) members.

Complete teams are composed of:

Male team: four (4) men

Female team: four (4) women

Mixed team: two (2) men and two (2) women

Company captains must confirm their teams online the day after the race by using Captain's Tools. You may re-organize the automatically assigned teams at this time if desired or necessary.

Individual and special awards will be listed on this website following each race. Team results will be added as soon as they are verified.

Teams of competitive runners have a chance to qualify for the Series Championship, where they will compete against the champions from all the Series events for top honors in the corporate running community.

A scoring team is made up of either four (4) males, four (4) females, or two (2) males and two (2) females. These teams will be made up of the four (4) fastest runners in each scoring category. The team captain will be able to create and submit the scoring team using Captain's Tools. To learn more about Scoring rules go to our Event Details page.
