The 30th running of the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge will be held Jun 14, 2022 in Rochester.

The J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge is coming back to downtown Rochester this year.

That event has been conducted virtually over the last two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The last time the event was held in-person, in 2019, there were just under 7,800 participants representing more than 300 companies.

This year’s event, the 30th annual J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge, is scheduled for Tuesday, June 14, 2022 at Frontier Field. The 3.5 mile downtown course will be similar to what participants ran and walked two years ago.

Bank officials say that this year’s event may include a reduced capacity in terms of pre-and-post hospitality within Frontier Field, pending local safety guidelines for large gatherings.

But they do say they expect the number of participants in the run and walk to be similar to the number of people who took part in 2019. J.P. Morgan said that they will work with government and health officials to ensure the appropriate capacity at the event.

There will be no virtual component to the race this year.

New this year, entrants to the race will have the opportunity to register as non-binary, and be appropriately identified in the Series Leaderboard and be eligible to score in a company’s mixed team results.

Company registration for the Corporate Challenge will open on Tuesday, March 8, at www.jpmorganchasecc.com
