The 13th edition of the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge Singapore flagged off on 28 April 2016, at Esplanade Bridge with 14,202 employees from 337 companies gathering for a few hours of fun and fitness with their colleagues.

This year’s winners were Jason Lawrence of the Overseas Family School as he reclaimed his crown and Aileen Tan of MOH Holdings winning the women’s title in her debut participation of the race.

Lawrence, 34, who won the race in 17 minutes and 27 seconds, said, “It’s always nice to come in first. I haven’t been training and racing seriously in a long time, but this win indicates that I’m on the way back and on to even better things. I’m so happy to be on the comeback.”

Aileen, 29, clinched her first win after reaching the finish line in 22 minutes and 1 second. She said, “Our company runs together all the time and I really enjoy running. The race was fun and fast. It was my first time participating so it was really shocking, surprising and unexpected to come in first.”
