We wanted to let you know that we’re taking part in the 2017 JP Morgan Corporate Challenge ® in Battersea Park on Wednesday 5 July.
Regular readers will know that this has been an annual fixture in the 10Eighty calendar and will be our 5th year – here’s how we fared when we took part in 2016, 2015, 2014 and 2013.
This year’s event promises to be a “better than ever celebration of corporate teamwork, camaraderie and community.” Taking part are 6 Team 10Eighty members will be running (or walking) 5.6 km around the picturesque riverside park : CEO Michael, Operations Manager Sarah, Finance Director Nick, Business Development lead Emma, and first timer Toby who’s our new Managing Director Wales/Cymru.
Sarah is our ‘Company Captain’ so she’ll be responsible for orientation, race bibs, branded T-shirts and making sure everyone provides essential info prior to the run. Head of Leadership Development Joan will kindly be looking after our belongings whilst the race is taking place and Hannah and Liz will be watching from the sidelines this year but have every intention to take part in 2018.
The Corporate Challenge® is a platform to promote health and fitness in the workplace, show commitment to the community and best environmental practices too.
Tees for everyone
Everyone who completes the race gets a 2017 J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge® t-shirt, so look out for a post in July with the team modelling their newly acquired attire. And we’ll share individual timings for each Team 10Eighty runner.
The Corporate Challenge® strives to make a difference through a donation to a not-for-profit organization in each host city (a similar event is run in 12 other cities across the globe), and through initiatives designed to make Corporate Challenge® the world’s greenest road race.
