Recruiting Coworkers to Register as Participants
When Participant Registration begins on September 8, 2020, invite coworkers to join your team in one of two ways:
- Send your coworkers the unique company team link from your confirmation email, which will take them to your specific team signup page.
- Direct your coworkers to the Registration Map. They will select your Corporate Challenge Virtual location on the map and click on Participant Registration. This will direct them to the Participant Registration page, where they will choose your company from the search menu.
Tips for recruiting coworkers:
- Start early: Begin recruiting right after you register your team and encourage coworkers to register right when Participant Registration begins on September 8, 2020. The sooner you build your team, the more time you'll have to engage teammates in training and to partake in the full J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge Virtual experience.
- Speak at a company or team meeting: Share why you believe participating in the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge Virtual will be a positive experience for your company.
- Motivate your team: Encourage colleagues to sign up by offering small prizes to the first people who register for your team.
- Get the word out: Let your coworkers know you're looking for team members and ask them to help spread the word. They may know someone in another department that would like to participate.
- Get moving: Encourage your team to take walk breaks or run before or after work.
- Make it fun: Give your coworkers regular updates on J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge Virtual experiences and challenges. Those who haven't signed up will see how much fun your team is having and may be inspired to join.

The App uses GPS to record the time and distance covered once the App timer is started. Participants should confirm the GPS function is operational prior to starting. At the end of 3.5 mi / 5.6327 km, the App will stop recording time and distance and the individual results will display on the screen. The App will automatically upload your results to the Event Leaderboard, but only your fastest time will be displayed.
If you registered for multiple events you will receive a unique registration code for each race in separate emails. Please add each unique registration code into the App in either the settings tab or on the event selection page by selecting “add another event”.
Please download the latest version of the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge App. If you encounter an error, force close and reopen the App. If that is unsuccessful, try restarting your device and see if the App works as expected. You may also try deleting and reinstalling the App as well. If you need further assistance, please contact your location’s Customer Service team.
The 3.5-mile distance has been a consistent element of the Corporate Challenge since we ran two laps of the 1.75-mile Southern Loop of New York’s Central Park in our very first event on July 13, 1977. We will stay true to that for the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge Virtual by utilizing 5.6327 km precisely on our App in all 15-locations.
No, you cannot pause the App after starting the run. You can press “Cancel Run” to stop and start over again. Only completed 3.5 mi / 5.6327 km runs will be submitted to the Event Leaderboard.
Only completed distances will be recorded. The App has a two-hour time limit and will automatically stop once the time limit or the 3.5 mi / 5.6327 km distance has been reached.
You can find your unique registration ID number on the confirmation email that was sent when you completed registration for the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge® Virtual. It is also listed as confirmation number in previous communications.
Android App Troubleshooting
The Android App is currently not compatible with Android 11. We are working to resolve this as soon as possible.
In order to track your location accurately during a run/walk, it is important that the App has permission to run in the background and has access to your device's location services. Most modern Android devices prevent applications from running in the background. This can result in sporadic route tracking and, in some cases, large gaps when no GPS coordinates are collected.
The tips below outline some of the common troubleshooting tips. There are many different manufacturers and versions of Android devices, so some of these instructions will vary for your particular device.
- Your device should have a clear, unobstructed view of the sky for the most accurate results.
- Avoid putting your device in a position where there is a significant obstruction to the sky, such as in a backpack.
- Runs/walks taking place in large cities with tall buildings may be impacted as these buildings hamper the phone's ability to lock on to GPS satellites.
- Older Android devices may have less powerful GPS chips and for those devices, having an unobstructed view of the sky becomes that much more important.
- The longer it has been since your phone has used GPS, the longer it can potentially take to locate your current position the first time.
Please ensure that you have given the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge application permission to access your location by following the steps below:
- Open the Settings app
- Find and Open Apps (Sometimes called Apps & Notifications) option.
- Find J.P. Morgan Corp. Challenge or JPMCCVirtual.Android and tap on it.
- Scroll down until you see Permissions and ensure Location is enabled.
Android devices can be configured to find your location in different modes. For best results, please ensure your device is set to use High Accuracy mode by following the steps below:
- Open the Settings app.
- Open the Security & Location app.
- Click on Location.
- Click on Mode or Location Accuracy.
- Set the mode to "High Accuracy" or “On”.
Every device manufacturer has their own terminology for this technology, and the instructions will vary. We need to ensure that your Android device is not limiting the App in the background (when your screen is off or you have another app open, J.P. Morgan Corp. Challenge is considered a Background App).
Most Android Devices
These instructions will cover the majority of new Android devices.
- Open the Settings app.
- Find and Open Battery or Power Mode.
- Select "Battery Optimization" or “Power Mode”
- Set Battery Optimization/Power Mode to "Not Optimized" or "High Performance.”
- Finally, go back to Settings > Battery and ensure that Battery Saver is disabled.
Samsung Devices
- Open the Settings app.
- Open Device Maintenance > Battery app.
- Scroll down to and open "Unmonitored Apps" or App “Power Management.”
- Scroll down until you see "Add Apps.”
- Add J.P. Morgan Corp. Challenge as an app that is unmonitored or will not be put to sleep.
Finisher Shirts
Finisher shirts will be available to order by Team Captains on a first come, first served basis in order of individual participant registration, while supplies last. Finisher shirts are not guaranteed for all race participants. The following delivery conditions must be met to receive a finisher shirt while supplies last:
- Team Captains must opt-in to receive finisher shirts during the Virtual Event registration period.
- The ship-to delivery address must be located within the country or identified geographic region identified on the race participant's submitted registration form for the specified Virtual Event.
If your original selection is no longer available, a replacement in the next available size will be substituted until all shirts are distributed.
During the Virtual Event registration period, Team Captains determine how their team's eligible finisher shirts will be distributed. Each Team Captain will have the option to elect that finisher shirts be shipped to either: (a) one (1) office location, with the process for subsequent delivery/distribution to eligible race participants determined by the Team Captain, (b) directly to individual race participants at the mailing address identified on their submitted registration form (with a shipping fee paid for by the Team Captain) or (c) opt-out of receiving finisher shirts; in which case such election shall apply to all participants on the team.
If your Team Captain has elected to receive finisher shirts, please allow 30 days for shipping after the 2020 J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge Virtual Event has concluded. JPMorgan Chase is not responsible for and will not replace any finisher shirt lost during transit. We will not be able to provide individual tracking or shipment status information for finisher shirt delivery.
Each participant is eligible for one (1) finisher shirt, while supplies last.
The finisher shirts silhouettes are women’s short sleeve technical v-neck and men’s short-sleeve technical crew neck.
| Women's | XS | S | M | L | XL | XXL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Neck (Seam to Seam) | 17cm | 18cm | 18.5cm | 19cm | 19.7cm | 20.3cm |

No, finisher shirts will not be available for sale.
No, shipping is available to residential or business addresses only.
Shipping information is collected during the Virtual Event registration period and cannot be modified after October 1, 2020. Prior to October 1, 2020, Team Captains may update single shipment delivery addresses (one per team) via their Team Captain’s dashboard. If a team has elected to ship finisher shirts directly to eligible race participants, and if a team member would like to update their individual ship-to delivery address, provided that the request is submitted prior to October 1, 2020, the race participant may email the applicable Virtual Event’s customer service team to accommodate that change, if possible.

J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge Virtual Safety Bulletin
If you train regularly for at least a month before the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge you should be fit enough to run a satisfying race. But all your hard work can be worthless if you don’t take care of yourself properly during the days just before the event.
Participants must follow all applicable local, state, and national requirements and regulations regarding mask safety, exercise and social distancing. If you have any known symptoms of COVID-19 or have tested positive for COVID-19, you should seek medical advice before participating in the Series.
Heatstroke is the breakdown of the body’s ability to control its own temperature. It occurs most often in short races when unfit runners, enticed by the seemingly easy, short distance, run at a pace that is beyond their conditioning. But even world-class athletes have suffered heatstroke. The condition is deadly; victims of heatstroke—including young, fit people—suffer an 80 percent mortality rate.
Any one of the following conditions puts you at risk for heatstroke. If one or more of these risk factors applies to you, do not run in the heat (above 70° F/21° C). Review the list on the day you plan to participate in the Virtual Race; if you are at risk, do not race in the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge Virtual event.
- Alcohol intake within 24 hours
- Dehydrated
- History of heatstroke
- Lack of recent, regular training
- Lack of sleep
- More than 20 percent overweight
- Not acclimated to the heat. It takes three weeks to acclimate to an increase in temperature.
- Recent immunizations
- Sunburn or rash
-
Taking medications, either over-the-counter or prescription, especially those that decrease
your ability to sweat, including:
- Anti-diarrheal medications
- Antihistamines
- Atropine
- Cold medications
- Diuretics
- Ephedrine, ephedra, ma huang
- Scopolamine
- Tranquilizers
The beginning stages of heatstroke are often marked by a throbbing headache, a general feeling of malaise or excessive warmth, confusion, difficulty concentrating, disorientation, clumsiness, stumbling, and excessive sweating or no sweating. The symptoms of heat exhaustion, a condition that can precede heatstroke, are extreme fatigue, nausea, vomiting, giddiness, muscular cramps, rapid breathing, and faintness.
If you or a teammate have any of these symptoms, stop running, get into a cool environment (shade, for example), and seek medical attention immediately.
If you have one of the above risk factors, don’t run in the heat (above 70° F/21° C). Even runners to whom none of the above risk factors apply should take the following precautions:
- Don’t run during the hottest part of the day.
- If you are not acclimated to the heat, reduce the length of your run and slow your pace by one minute per km until you’re acclimated to the heat. It takes three weeks to fully acclimate to a higher temperature and humidity.
- Drink water throughout the day, before, during, and after runs and races.
If any of the conditions listed below apply to you, you should consult with your doctor about your plans to train and race.
- Asthma
- Coronary artery disease
- Diabetes
- Drug use
- Epilepsy
- Excessive stress at work or home
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- No previous running experience
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Smoking
- Drink plenty of water before, during, and after the race. Do not drink alcohol.
- Wear lightly colored and loosely fitting clothing.
- Eat light, low fat meals on the day of the race and no later than 2 hours before race time.
- If it is very hot, slow your pace and take walk breaks.
- If you do not feel well, stop running and seek medical attention.
