Running Together: NETZSCH Joined the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge in Frankfurt
On June 4, 2025, nine colleagues from NETZSCH in Hanau participated in the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge in Frankfurt.
This annual event, renowned as the world’s largest corporate running series, brought together over 64.000 participants from various companies to run a 5,6 kilometer course through Frankfurt’s city center. The fastest runner completed the course in an impressive 16:06 minutes.

Team Spirit in Action
Our NETZSCH team embraced the challenge with enthusiasm, showcasing not only individual determination but also a strong sense of camaraderie and support. From warming up together to cheering each other on during the run, the event was a great opportunity to connect outside the office and strengthen the bonds within our team. At the finish line, everyone waited for one another. Everyone gave their best and enjoyed the lively post-run celebrations.

More Than Just a Race
What began in 1993 as a bold idea from a New York based bank has since evolved into one of the largest running events in the world. The concept: bring employees from different companies together for a 5,6 kilometer team run without official timing to promote values like team spirit, communication, fairness and health.
The very first J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge in Frankfurt saw just 527 runners from 57 companies. Fast forward to today, and the event regularly attracts over 60.000 participants from across Germany, transforming Frankfurt’s city center into a vibrant celebration of unity, motivation and community. In addition to promoting corporate values, the event also supports charitable organizations in Germany, with a portion of every entry fee going to a good cause.
Looking Ahead
This year marked NETZSCH’s 18th participation in the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge – a proud tradition that has seen a total of 85 colleagues take part since the company first joined. Our fastest recorded time so far is an impressive 23:13 minutes. We extend our gratitude to the organizers for hosting such a well-coordinated and inspiring event, and to all participants for contributing to the vibrant atmosphere. We’re already looking forward to next year’s race and the chance to once again run together as Team.
