Series 107 Run 3 – 18 September 2024 – Run No. 639

GENERAL BUSINESS
Just reiterating reminders sent earlier this week.

Running on the road
The ONLY spot where running on the road is allowed is crossing the small side road immediately beyond the expressway bridge.  Running on the road anywhere else is expressly prohibited.  If you encounter congestion on the footpath, you must slow down and work your way past it, you must NOT detour onto the road to get round it.  This is a condition of our agreement with the RBG, and any breach potentially endangers the future of our event.

Danger spots on course
When returning around Mrs Macquarie’s Point there is a tree root which has slightly lifted the tarmac on the point and presents a trip hazard.  Mostly you will run past it without even noticing it, but we have had a number of reports over time of runners stumbling on it, in some cases leading to falls, so take care.

Also take care on the steps leading down from the middle path to Mrs Macquarie’s Point.  These steps have very uneven treads and depths, and a runner had a bad fall here last series.

SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
Conditions were again warm and pleasant for the third run of the series. Another good day for running. We had a respectable turnout for run 3, although down on previous runs.  Six teams broke the 100-point mark, with another 4 in the high 90’s. The total points scored in run 3 was 2,717. The top 3 teams remain unchanged.

Team	Run 1	Run 2	Run 3	Run 4	Run 5	Run 6	Total
Macquarie Generals	140	152	173				465
State Treasury	131	134	157				422
Legal Eagles	111	153	115				379
