JPMorgan Chase Corporate Challenge

First off I would never recommend this BANK to anyone from this point on I used to bank with Home Savings and then it changed over to Washington Mutual Wamu. Then it became Chase J.P. Morgan I hate this Bank false advertisement first off I walked into this branch I was not greeted, after words I asked to see a representative there was a one hour wait straight out just plain rude people! I thought maybe it’s just that location so I decided to open my account especially since I had a coupon that when I open an account with the direct deposit I would be receiving $ 150 in 45 days the account representative told me that I would absolutely not have to worry that they automatically would credit my account for $ 150 within 45 days it has now been three months and they are making me jump through all the hoops of calling customer service and a senior representative specialist and also I spoke to someone in the corporate office that called the branch and still to this point they have not promised to put that $ 150 in the account, due to the fact that the account representative Had forgot to enter or place the promotion code on the account! This is unfair and considered false advertisement I am going to take this to my attorney, the media, etc. Because there is no excuse and their apologies are not facing up to the facts. Also keep in mind I still have not received a dime from the promo code back in March of 2014 and it is now June 24,2014 and their still telling me to wait until they research this further. I really made a big mistake choosing to open account at CHASE knowing how bad the service was and is!!! Do not bank with this bank if you don’t have to! Terrible company if this is how you treat your clientele. Better off banking somewhere else!

My third official race and my first 5K. The course was alright. Nothing scenic, just running along the coast of SOMA (where the crane lifts are), up a block of a slight incline, then onto the street car track! OK, not really. I just decided to go there since it was blocked out for the race — that dreaded human traffic, y’know?
Usually I listen to my music when I run but with this Cooperate Challenge, I was distracted by all the company shirts that people wore. That was a plus but I guess I’m a slight tech nerd haha
Then back to the minuses… Whoever organized this could’ve done a better job in communication. It wasn’t until 2 days before race day did we receive any email notification. Tsktsk.
I heard they ran out of cups of water??? Wat.
Banananas were given away. As well as a pretty decent shirt. 100% polyester. At least, it feels like dry-​fit?
All in all, decent race. I’ll continue to run this race if my company continues to participate (:

1^st TIMER
A race for white collars. Lol.
Corporate Challenge, make your corporate proud! First time running the JPM Corporate Challenge as it’s my first year with the firm I work for (don’t get mistaken, I am not a JPM employee). We represented our firm well and I’m proud of my colleagues!!! Mentally strong, physically strong.
It was an overall fun event. The finisher prize is a tshirt, banana, energy bars, and water… No medal!!! 300+ corporates, 12k+ participants, $ 40 per person registration courtesy of your employer, billion dollar hosting event, and no medal! It’s all good, had a great time.
Very organized event, crammed beginning/​start area, Course was super narrow, trampling and elbowing is expected, it was SO HUMID, lots of stinky people smelling like raw onions, but still had a great time running in it all and taking it in (barfing reflex with a smile on my face). Seeing all these white collar people being physical is a healthy and good thing. Brains and speed. Love seeing other corporate’s T-​shirt design. In the end, did relatively well considering that I don’t run in warm climates. I think I was running fast to get it over with ;)
Until next yr again… Until next review…

I hated this run. i don’t like running.

The Annual JPMorgan Chase Corporate Challenge is a worldwide series of 3.5 miles races. San Francisco is one leg of the world series.
This year, 5377 runners from 247 companies participated in this exciting event. Those companies include: Google, Cisco, NetApp, JPMorgan Chase, AutoDesk, Accenture, etc.
It’d be a great company function and team buidling event!
The proceeds of this event also benefit a local non-​profit every year. This year the beneficiary is YMCA of San Francisco Kids to Camp Progaram.
In 2009, the organizer introduced timing chips for runners for the first time!
The event is well-​organized.
