We have received reports of some runners not completing the full course. There are often valid reasons for why this happens but, if it does, the runner should NOT cross the finish line, as this will potentially give them a run credit which they have not earned.
SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY

The best score was 87 by Macquarie Generals, who move to the top of the table. They were followed by MBA Yield Chasers with 60 and Jarden RBC Stride Tribe with 58.
