Series #96 – Run 5 – 8 July 2020 – Run No. 575
SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
Cool conditions were good for running, but an unexpected enforced detour down the Fleet Steps meant that scoring was a little lower than in run 4. The top two teams were the only ones to reach 100 points, with State Treasury leading the way on 166 and Westpac Trotters on 145. Reserve Bank Midday Milers were next best with 89. State Treasury surely have the title sewn up now. The total points scored in run 5 was 1,211.
| Team | Run 1 | Run 2 | Run 3 | Run 4 | Run 5 | Run 6 | Total |
| State Treasury | 115 | 141 | 158 | 180 | 166 | 760 | |
| Westpac Trotters | 84 | 99 | 170 | 99 | 145 | 597 | |
| Reserve Bank Magic Milers | 110 | 130 | 143 | 103 | 44 | 530 |
RABOBANK KNOCKOUT TROPHY
The top two also prevailed in the knockout semi-finals and will now meet in the final. State Treasury beat Rabobank Grasshoppers 166-70 and Westpac Trotters beat JPM Jets 145-18. Rabobank Grasshoppers and JPM Jets will play off for third place in run 6.
