Backstop Solutions Group CEO, Jeremie Bacon, took to the podium at this year's JPMorgan Chase Corporate Challenge in Chicago. With a finishing time of just 21:30 for the 3.5 mile course, he clocked in as the fastest racer in the "Most Senior Executive" category.

Intended as a way to promote balance in the workplace, the "Most Senior Executive" category pits hundreds of Chicago area CEOs against each other, among a field of more than 22,000 racers. In addition to his recent victory, Mr. Bacon is an accomplished triathlete and marathoner. His enthusiasm for endurance sports is shared with many of his colleagues at Backstop Solutions Group, whose ranks include a number of running, cycling, and triathlon competitors. In fact, nearly half of the company joined him on starting line at the JPMorgan Chase Corporate Challenge.

"At Backstop Solutions Group, we take a team approach to everything we do," commented Mr. Bacon. "So it's gratifying to see our participation in the Corporate Challenge grow each year, with employees and clients joining together to race and cheer on the other runners."
