DNA Economics takes on the JP Morgan challenge

After waiting quite some time to gain an entry into the ultra-popular and inundated JP Morgan Corporate Challenge, this year DNA Economics runners & walkers were delighted to finally get the chance to show the Joburg corporates what Pretoria economists are made of! On the 5thApril 2018, our 11-athlete strong team, clad in our shiny new DNA sports gear, headed for The Wanderer’s Club to test ourselves against the 5.6km track. We were running or walking two races really – one against the rest of the competitors for a chance to represent South Africa at the International JP Morgan Corporate Challenge, and one for the honour of being the fastest athlete in the office.
