Series #93 – Run 4 – 20 Mar 2019 – Run No. 556

SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
Conditions were a bit humid but not too hot for run 4.  Having far more of an impact on the point scoring was the shortening of the already shorter course C, due to works going on in the Domain.  This led to an explosion of point scoring, with no less than 25 teams reaching the 100 point mark, and the total being double that for run 3.  Telstra Tornados led the way with 203 points, followed by Legal Eagles with 196 and State Treasury with 176.  State Treasury still have a big lead overall.  The total points scored in run 4 was 4,754.
