With record participation in Buenos Aires, the largest corporate running event in the world once again brought together business teams in a day that celebrated well-being, camaraderie and commitment to the community.
The JP Morgan Corporate Challenge, one of the most anticipated and recognized events for companies and runners, held its third in-person edition on the Vicente López waterfront this November 7. On this occasion, a record number of more than 5,750 runners representing 146 companies were registered, surpassing previous editions.
With a 5.6 kilometer route, the race offers an accessible format for both experienced runners and those who prefer to walk or jog. But the meeting not only offers an opportunity to exercise, but also to share experiences and promote a healthy lifestyle outside of the workplace. In addition, a part of the proceeds will be donated to the Casa Cuna civil association, an entity that contributes to the health needs and activities developed by the Pedro de Elizalde Children’s General Hospital, reaffirming JP Morgan’s commitment to the local community.
To close the day, participants shared a space with colleagues from various companies enjoying a unique after office with a live show by Los Totora, who gave the meeting a vibrant and fun ending with their music.
“The JP Morgan Corporate Challenge represents more than a sporting event, it is a unique moment to share and strengthen ties within the business community, promoting well-being, where physical and emotional health are a priority. “We are very proud that it continues to grow and that every year it brings together more people and teams,” he said. Facundo Gómez Minujín, Senior Country Officer for JP Morgan Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia.
Since its inception in 1977 in New York, this iconic event has grown steadily and is currently held in 8 countries and 6 continents, with Buenos Aires being the only city in Latin America where it is held. With thousands of participants, the event established itself as the largest corporate running meeting in the world, attracting people from various companies seeking to strengthen ties and share an experience outside of the office routine. With only two stops remaining in this cycle, Shanghai and Hong Kong, the Corporate Challenge has collectively had more than 220,000 registrants from more than 7,000 companies globally.
