JPMorganChase Corporate Challenge® Rochester Part of Global 50-Year Celebration
Guest post from Greater Rochester Chamber member JPMorganChase
ROCHESTER, April 1, 2026 – Registration is open for the 34th running of the JPMorganChase Corporate Challenge® in Rochester, scheduled for Thursday, May 21, 2026 at Red Wings Baseball Stadium.
This will be the eighth time that the 3.5-mile team run/walk will be held in Downtown Rochester, having moved from the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2017. Not your average team-building event, the 3.5-mile Corporate Challenge turns familiar streets into a new experience, creating an opportunity to connect, celebrate, and make lasting team memories.
The May 21 starting horn will sound at 7:15 p.m. and company registration is available at https://www.jpmorganchasecc.com/en/home/our-locations/rochester. Entry fee is $43 per employee and is open to businesses of all sizes and employees at every level, with teams starting at just four participants.
JPMorganChase will also donate in celebration of all Corporate Challenge participants to Foodlink, which was founded in 1978 with a mission to leverage the power of food to end hunger and build healthier communities.
As a leading public health organization, Foodlink administers programs to address the symptoms and root causes of hunger, as well as build the health and wealth of our communities. Foodlink mobilizes a network of 350+ partners to provide emergency food distributions, in addition to work that includes child and senior meals, nutrition education, an urban farm, a mobile market, and a New York State Cook Apprenticeship training program.
Rochester will be part of a global celebration as JPMorganChase commemorates the 50th consecutive year of the Corporate Challenge, which it owns and operates. The Series debuted with a single event in New York City on July 13, 1977 and has since expanded to 16 locations in eight countries and six continents. For five decades, the Series has been bringing teams together, strengthening connections, and supporting the communities we call home.
And while the core components of the Corporate Challenge – 3.5-mile race length, team registration format, post-race celebrations – remain intact, there will also be a fresh new look in the staging area and on the race course. The 50th year running of the Corporate Challenge will serve as a natural inflection point to refresh the brand and celebrate the growth that both the event and participating companies have seen in the last half century. This refresh deepens JPMorganChase’s commitment to the local communities it is in, and beyond, and extends the updated JPMorganChase brand as a visible, consistent force for economic growth across the host locations and global hubs.
Race organizers are planning on a crowd of approximately 5,000 runners and walkers this May. Participants also have the option to host pre- and post-race celebrations within Red Wings Baseball Stadium that strengthen teamwork and create lasting memories. A wide-range of hospitality options are available. Contact rochester@corpchallenge.jpmorgan.com or (585) 295-8551 for questions and support.
