Registration Opens for J.P.Morgan Corporate Challenge® 2010

The J.P.Morgan Corporate Challenge® has gained tremendous popularity and participation since 2004 when the company expanded to two new continents, with inaugural races in Johannesburg, South Africa, and Singapore.

The Singapore event has been a consistent success. It debuted in April 2004 with 6,766 entrants,the largest first-year event in JPMorgan Chase Corporate Challenge Series history. It grew to 9,350 in 2005, and since 2006 has enjoyed a full capacity of entrants.

Registration will be open from Monday, 8 February 2010, for the seventh annual J.P.Morgan Corporate Challenge® in Singapore, an event that has established itself as one of the most popular on the local sports and business calendars.

Registration will be available exclusively online (www.jpmorganchase.com/cc) for the 5.6- kilometre team road race that will be held on Thursday, 6 May, 2010 with a 6:00pm race start at Esplanade Drive.

Appealing to all sizes and types of businesses, last year’s Corporate Challenge saw a capacity crowd of almost 10,000 runners and walkers from 330 companies participating in one of the biggest corporate sporting events in Singapore. Due to popular demand, race organizers are investigating changes in the race course that would accommodate an expanded capacity to over 12,500.

The huge turnout last year saw Starhub leading the biggest contingent with more than 400 Starhubbers. Temasek Holdings, Citigroup, PricewaterhouseCoopers and M1 were among the companies that entered with more than 200 employees in 2009.

The entry fee for the 2010 J.P.Morgan Corporate Challenge® in Singapore is S$50 per entrant. All entries must be part of a corporate team, with each team needing to register a minimum of four employees. There is no limit to the number of employees that can be on a company team, but due to capacity restrictions, large teams should complete their registration early.

If you are more artistic than athletic, every J.P.Morgan Corporate Challenge® event incorporates a T-Shirt Design Contest open to all participating companies. Every team is encouraged to design, produce and wear a t-shirt that best exemplifies their corporate philosophy and team spirit. Designs should incorporate the official Corporate Challenge Series logo, event name or any other element of the race. Teams which submit the top two designs will have the opportunity to choose a charitable organisation to receive a donation of USD $1000 from J.P.Morgan. All entries will be displayed in advance on the Singapore home page of the Corporate Challenge Web Site, www.jpmorgan.com/cc.

There is no limit to the number of employees a company can enter. However, there is a limit on the overall capacity of the race so teams are encouraged to register as early as possible.
