In 2026, the Corporate Challenge marks an exciting milestone: 50 Years Running. Since the first event in 1977, colleagues around the world have come together to move, connect and celebrate community through this one-of-a-kind series.

Starting this year, the Corporate Challenge will proudly take on a new name: the JPMorganChase Corporate Challenge, with a refreshed look that reflects its global reach and enduring energy. What won’t change is the spirit of local connection and community that have defined the event for half a century.  

JPMorganChase, the owner and operator of the Corporate Challenge, has announced details of its 2026 schedule with 3.5-mile (5.6km) team events in 16 locations across six continents.

It starts on Thursday, March 12 in Johannesburg, South Africa, and continues through late November. In all, there will be eight stops in North America, three in Asia, two in Europe, and one each in Africa, Australia and South America. See the full schedule below, mark the date for your location, note the registration fee and begin your plan to have your largest team ever in our 50^th year.

More than 234,000 participants from over 7,000 companies registered for Corporate Challenge events last year.

“The JPMorganChase Corporate Challenge is a reflection of our commitment to making a positive impact and living our values every day,” said Carla Hassan, Global Chief Marketing Officer, JPMorganChase. “For 50 years, these 3.5-mile races have brought people together, fostering connection and community spirit in every city we visit. With the shift to our parent brand, we look forward to creating more opportunities for connection and shared experiences with our clients, employees, and partners for years to come.”

The Series will continue its tradition of donating to local not-for-profit organizations in each location in 2026. This initiative gives each participant a tangible connection to helping the community and raises awareness of the incredible work each organization does.
