32^nd JPMorganChase corporate challenge: more than 63,000 runners on Frankfurt’s streets

On Wednesday evening, at the 32^nd JPMorganChase Corporate Challenge, more than 63,000 runners from over 2,300 companies and institutions took to the start line in Frankfurt.

On the 5.6-kilometer course through the city center, the event once again focused on what has defined the run ever since: movement, team spirit, and a shared experience across company boundaries.

The fastest times of the evening were recorded by Moges Dargie Mengesha of GFDE Haus Weingarten with a time of 16:06, and Nina Reuter of Polizei Hessen with a time of 18:01. Full results from the 2026 event are available on the Leaderboard.

“The Corporate Challenge brings people together in Frankfurt in a special way year after year—from ambitious competition to crossing the finish line together as a team. It’s precisely this mix of sporting energy, cohesion, and openness that makes the event so unique,” says Alexander Mayer, Head of Germany & Austria at J.P. Morgan.

The JPMorganChase Corporate Challenge running series was founded in New York in 1977 and is being held for the 50^th time this year. The Frankfurt edition is the largest event in the international series and has been a fixture on the city’s event calendar since 1993. With the 2026 run, JPMorganChase is once again supporting the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation Germany and the German Youth Association for Disabled Sports (DBSJ) with sponsored projects.
