Jasmine Teo from Ice came in as the top female runner for the fourth year in a row, with a tie of 20:31, more than a minute faster than her previous record.
Now held in 16 cities worldwide, the Corporate Challenge started in New York’s Central Park back in 1977. Other editions of the race include stopovers at Sydney, Hong Kong and Shanghai.
Beyond the running, the event has taken on a broader role in the community. As in previous years, J.P. Morgan made a donation on behalf of all participants to HWA (formerly known as the Handicaps Welfare Association), which supports the elderly and persons with disabilities. 28 of HWA’s representatives and beneficiaries, together with their caregivers, completed a shortened version of the race.
