A strong team: KEG at the J.P. Morgan Challenge in Frankfurt

One team - from the chemical compounds on the running shirt to the group spirit on the track: the runners of the KEG at this year's J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge Run. In line with the motto " Get there in a team", 43 KEG colleagues together with 62,772 runners from 2,282 companies went on the 5.6 kilometre long route through Frankfurt.

And also the weather cooperated: Although it had been unstable and wet before, the sun came out just in time for the start. Jörg Schappel and Dietmar Oehler had really "worked" their way to the front - they went onto the track together with the first starters.

The joint run is only secondarily about sport, primarily values such as team spirit, communication, collegiality, fairness and health are strengthened - values which KEG represents. And as a central point of the Kuraray corporate values, the associated social commitment plays an important role. This year, the considerable amount of 252,000 euros from the starting fees and a donation from the bank JP Morgan went to the Stiftung Deutsche Sporthilfe and the Deutsche Behindertenjugend.

After the efforts the team relaxed during dinner at the SENCKENBERGS restaurant, happy that the efforts were over and the weather had held.
