JPMorganChase Corporate Challenge Johannesburg
About
JPMorganChase Corporate Challenge, Johannesburg
The JPMorganChase Corporate Challenge is the world’s largest corporate running event. It began with one race for 200 entrants in New York’s Central Park in 1977 and now takes place in 16 locations across eight countries on six continents. Each 3.5-mile (5.6km) race connects colleagues, from walkers to runners and from start-ups to large corporations, in a celebration of teamwork, fitness and community. The series expanded to South Africa in 2004, and SportsVendo has been the Event Coordinator for the Johannesburg race ever since.
How It Works
The Corporate Challenge provides teams with a chance to come together outside of the workplace, promoting fitness, friendly competition, and team celebration.
Due to the business-to-business nature of the event, participation is organized through Company Teams. Individuals must join their Company Team to take part; they cannot participate independently. Each company appoints at least one Team Captain who acts as the main point of contact. The Team Captain is responsible for communicating with colleagues, encouraging registration, managing budgets (if applicable), and planning post-race hospitality experiences (if applicable).
