The J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge is the worldβs largest corporate running event. It began humbly with one race for 200 entrants on July 13, 1977 in New Yorkβs Central Park and has now blossomed to events in 15 cities in eight countries on all six fully inhabited continents. The all-time largest Corporate Challenge was hosted in Frankfurt, Germany in 2008 β an amazing 73,719 participants. The Series has been owned and operated the entire time by JP Morgan Chase and its predecessor firms.
5 Years from now, a colleague and dear friend of mine, came up with the idea to join the JP Morgan Chase Frankfurt. A 5,6km (3.4 miles) distance through the beautiful city. At that time, the distance seemed out of my comfort zone, but I took the challenge. Our team of 4 people finished together with about 60.000 other participants from different companys. It was fun, great team spirit and - I discovered my love for running. Since then, I particpated in many 10km runs as well as a half marathon. The running fever got me ever since and I can only recommend by starting with a smaller run like this, together with dear team mates, to get into the runners community.
