The in-person 2021 J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge in Rochester has been canceled due to the recent spike in COVID-19 cases.
The bank cited wanting to use “an abundance of caution,” and said the Sept. 21 event at Frontier Field will be replaced by a virtual race, which will be free of charge for those who want to participate.
Companies and individuals who registered for the in-person challenge will have their fees fully refunded.
Due to the pandemic, last year’s J.P. Morgan Challenge was also a virtual event.
The dates for this year’s virtual challenge have not been determined yet, and when it is, it will be listed at www.jpmorganchasecc.com. JP Morgan Chase will make a donation to Levine Center to End Hate, continuing an annual tradition of partnering with a not-for-profit organization at this event.
The last time the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge was held in-person in 2019 in Rochester it drew nearly 7,800 entrants from 319 companies.
