CFS Amicis has had a name change since series 109 and is now known as BOC Pacers.

SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
Reports on run 1 of the series indicate that it was a “bit of a wet one today! I think most runners had fairly light rain, and conditions were actually quite good for running – very few tourists and just a few puddles to contend with.”

Remember, it’s always a good day for a run.

Turnout for run 1 was only 276, almost 100 less than the previous series 109 run, with possibly the weather keeping many runners away. However, 8 teams still managed to score more than 100 points:

State Treasury                          136

Reserve Bank Magic Milers         130

Westpac Trotters                       125

Macquarie Generals                   120

Australian Museum Runosaurs    118

Reserve Bank Midday Milers        111

Reminder for handling a faulty chip.

If you do not hear the beeps when crossing the mat or believe your chip is faulty, the correct process is to input the requested details on the FAULTY CHIPS sheet, located with the Early Runners sheet on the shed to the left of the drinks table.

After completing the requested information, please leave the chip in the container located on the table near the sheet board. As the sheet says, “Failure to do so will result in your time not counting.”

We will test the chip, and if it is working, you will receive the officially recorded time. If it is not working your manually recorded time will be accepted.
