SINGAPORE, April 10, 2025 
– The J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge Singapore held its 20th edition today, with over 12,000 participants from 400 companies.

J.P. Morgan senior executives from left to right: Wai Mei HONG, Singapore Senior Country Officer and Singapore head of Global Corporate Banking; and Wei Han ONG, Asia-Pacific Chief Administrative Officer and Senior Country Business Manager, South & Southeast Asia.

Continuing to be increasingly popular, the event drew in companies from across industries, which included Amazon, Blackrock, Cargill, Chevron, DBS Bank, GIC, Income Insurance, Microsoft, Nike, Samsung, Tencent and Visa, who ran alongside over 1,600 J.P. Morgan employees for the 5.6-kilometer race. Starting at the F1 Pit Building in the Marina Bay district, the runners were flagged off by J.P. Morgan’s Wai Mei HONG, Singapore Senior Country Officer, and Wei Han ONG, Asia-Pacific Chief Administrative Officer.

The winner of this year’s Corporate Challenge was Shaun GOH from Fortinet Singapore, who crossed the finish line in 17:33. This was his third time finishing the race in first place and beat his own 2024 winning time by three seconds.
The first woman over the line was Jasmine TEO of Ice, who claimed top spot for the fourth consecutive year with a time of 20:31, beating her previous record by a minute and 19 seconds.

The J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge is the world’s largest corporate running event, which started in 1977 in New York’s Central Park. It is held in 16 locations across eight countries and six continents, with Singapore being the second stop of the global series this year. Sydney will follow in October, with Hong Kong and Shanghai coming just after. The event has become a unique fixture in the corporate world, offering opportunities for companies and colleagues to celebrate teamwork and bond over fitness, friendly competition, food and fun. In Singapore, it debuted in 2004, and has since grown to become a key social event in the city-state’s business calendar.

Keeping with tradition, J.P. Morgan will make a donation on behalf of all participants to non-profit organization, HWA, formerly known as Handicaps Welfare Association. Through its work, HWA helps to enhance the quality of life for the elderly and persons with disabilities, by providing services such as wheel chair accessible transportation, rehabilitation, home care and social services. Twenty-eight of the organization’s representatives and beneficiaries, and their caregivers, successfully completed a shortened race route.

“The J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge is more than just a race; it is a celebration of teamwork, resilience, and the shared commitment to health and well-being ” said Wai Mei Hong, Singapore Senior Country Officer for J.P. Morgan.

“This was our 20th edition and we continue to bring together clients and colleagues from diverse industries together in the spirit of camaraderie and in support of the local Singapore community,” she said. “We look forward to many more years of running together in Singapore”
