World's largest corporate road race series to host over 200,000
at events in 12 cities in six countries on five continents
NEW YORK, January 10, 2006 — For the 30th consecutive year, JPMorgan Chase will provide full-time workers from thousands of corporations around the world with a creative outlet for exercise and camaraderie while participating in an event that annually raises significant contributions for local charities, amounting to more than $1 million just in the last two years.

It is the largest corporate fitness event in the world and features unmatched continuity, keen competition and the ideal setting for an after-work party.
Owned and operated by JPMorgan Chase, the 2006 Corporate Challenge includes seven events in the United States — Boston, Buffalo, Chicago, New York, Rochester, San Francisco and Syracuse — along with worldwide stops in Frankfurt, Johannesburg, London, Singapore and Sydney. In each city, employees from local corporations enter as a team and compete in 3.5-mile road races, with the fastest company teams advancing to the season-ending JPMorgan Chase Corporate Challenge Championship on Park Avenue.
"We're proud that hundreds of thousands of people annually accept our invitation to do something healthy for themselves by entering the Corporate Challenge," said Barbara Paddock, senior vice president for JPMorgan Chase. "Being active and physically fit is a vital part of workplace success, and we've been proud to lead this corporate fitness challenge for 30 consecutive years."
The JPMorgan Chase Corporate Challenge is a 3.5-mile road race and participants enter as part of a company team. A minimum of four employees from each company are required and there is no maximum, though several races in the 2006 Series will reach full capacity shortly after entries open.
The 2006 Series commenced in Sydney on November 9 and the remaining international races, in chronological order, are Johannesburg (March 2), Singapore (April 26), Frankfurt (June 1) and London (July 5-6).

27 July 1979, New York Times, "Companies Have Employees on the Run" by Jim Naughton, pg. A13:
Corporations have discovered jogging and they are doing to jogging what corporations do best -- organizing it. Wednesday night in Central Park, Manufacturers Hanover sponsored the last of its 3.-mile Corporate Challenges.
In the Corporate Challenge, corporations and government agencies organize men's, women's and coed teams. The men run in the first heat, the women in the second and the New York Road Runners Club keeps time and standings.
The races have been held for three years, but Wednesday night's turnout of about 3,200 men, 850 women and 1,000 spectators was the biggest crowd to date.
