Returning for its 15th edition, J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge Singapore flagged off on St. Andrew’s Road in the historic Civic District. Grace Fu, Minister of Culture, Community and Youth was the Guest of Honour at the race, which saw a crowd of 14,256 participants from 387 companies run the picturesque 5.6km route from the National Gallery Singapore to the F1 Pit Building.

Senior Country Officer for J.P. Morgan Singapore, Edmund Lee said,

The J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge is an incredible commitment to the corporate community in Singapore that brings thousands of executives and colleagues together for an evening of teamwork and fun. It’s great that we flagged off the race in the Civic District – the birthplace of modern Singapore – for the second year in a row. This is the fifteenth year we have held the Corporate Challenge in Singapore and it was another successful and enjoyable night.
