As traffic around the event area is restricted due to road closures during the JPMorganChase Corporate Challenge, we recommend traveling by public transport, such as the underground or regional trains. The nearest stations are “Taunusanlage” or “Alte Oper”.
The two starting lineups are in Große Gallusstraße/Roßmarkt and Neue Mainzer Straße. On the course overview map, you can see how best to get from your corporate meeting point to the respective start. The entrances to the starting line-up will be open from 5:30 p.m. Please note that the start procedure may take up to 60 minutes due to the size of the event. Approximate start times are outlined in the above Schedule section and are based on the color of your bib number. Please pay attention to the announcements of our announcers and follow their instructions.
Individual results are calculated on the time elapsed between crossing the start and finish timing mats. Participants must cross the start and finish line timing mats and on-course timing split points to receive an official time.
To reduce waiting time at the start line, each Company Team will be assigned an approximate start time, indicated by bib color. You can find all approximate start times in the Schedule section above.
We recommend that teams arrive at the start line-up area approximately 15 minutes before their start time:
The bibs are personalized. For the safety of our participants, the personal data number and medical information on the back of the race must be filled in completely and correctly.
The timing transponder is also located on the back of your race number - the race number must not be bent, otherwise the timing transponder may be damaged. The race number must be worn on the chest during the race. Safety pins can be used to attach the race number to the chest.
The finish line is located at Senckenberganlage. Finishers are kindly asked not to remain in the finish area, but to proceed quickly toward the finish line refreshments on Bockenheimer Landstraße. Meeting points should only be arranged outside the finish area, e.g., at the PartyPoint or on the Opernplatz.
For all those who have not received their finisher shirts in advance, there is the possibility of collecting them at the distribution points in Bockenheimer Landstraße. Please bring the T-shirt vouchers attached to your race number with you.
We will be celebrating the JPMorganChase Corporate Challenge Frankfurt together at the Opernplatz. Many seating areas invite you to come together at the Opernplatz before or after the race. The catering offers a wide range of food and beverages: from regional specialties to global flavors. Our beverage stands offer alcoholic drinks as well as non-alcoholic drinks. After the run, a DJ from FFH will provide musical entertainment until 10:00 p.m.
If you have any questions before the start or after the race, please contact our staff at the Information Tent. The Information Tent is located at the Opernplatz on the south side of the Alte Oper.
Please try to avoid bringing large bags on race day. Feel free to use your JPMorganChase Corporate Challenge bag instead. Please note that only one bag per person will be permitted.
Backpacks may not be taken into the start line-ups or onto the course. A changing area will be set up at the Opernplatz on the east side of the Alte Oper, where bags can be left in a supervised tent. The changing area will be open from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Please understand that our staff will inspect the contents and, if necessary, ask you to repack them in transparent bags. We accept no liability for valuables or luggage; you will find public lockers at the main station and on the B level of the Hauptwache. The police urge you not to leave any rucksacks or bags unattended.
The Awards Ceremony will take place in the finish area immediately after the fastest participants have crossed the finish line.
For safety reasons, Nordic walking poles, roller skates, skateboards, rollerblades, baby joggers, roller skis, bicycles and strollers are strictly prohibited on the entire course. The use of any of the above items will result in the disqualification of the individual and possibly the entire team.

Photographs and video will be taken in the entire event area.
Sufficient hydration is particularly important when it comes to high temperatures before and during the race. There is a refreshment point at KM 3.5 on the route on either side of the course.
Please also help us keep the event site clean by using the deposit bins, provided by Rosbacher, available at the end of the refreshment station at the finish line.
Participants who feel unwell or show symptoms of illness are asked to refrain from taking part.
First aid personnel will be available along the route to intervene in medical emergencies. If you suddenly feel unwell, are in pain or have cardiovascular problems, we recommend that you take a few steps calmly and, if necessary, speak to a marshal who can inform the first-aid team on site.
