Congratulations to Laurie Coleman of ABS Moving Averages, who completed his 350^th run in run 5.  Laurie is one of the legends who took part in series 1 and is still going strong.  He had a long break from the Cup on family duties, missing series 44 to 86, which makes his achievement even more noteworthy.  He is the 38^th person to reach this milestone.  Congratulations also to Clive Fletcher of Commonwealth Bank Harriers 1, who became the 64^th person to reach 300 runs.

Series #111 – Run 2 – 18 February 2026 – Run No. 662

GENERAL BUSINESS
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
It was a very warm day and consequently point scoring was hard to come by.  No team managed to reach 100 points, and in fact only 8 reached 50 points.  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.  The total points scored in run 2 was 1,126.

Team	Run 1	Run 2	Run 3	Run 4	Run 5	Run 6	Total
Macquarie Generals	117	87					204
Reserve Bank Magic Milers	133	52					185
Macquarie Nomads	110	44					154
Reserve Bank Midday Milers	120	34					154

RABOBANK KNOCKOUT TROPHY
There were many low scoring, and consequently close, matches in the knockout, none more so than that between State Audit and Transport Trainers who inflicted the handicapper’s nightmare with a 6-6 draw.  They will go into a three way tie with King & Wood Mallesons in the 3^rd round.   There were four other matches decided by 10 points or less.

FASTEST TEAM COMPETITION
Fast points were also in short supply, with barely half the number from round 1.  Reserve Bank Magic Milers had the best score with 6, followed by Telstra Tornados with 4 and Legal Eagles and Westpac Harriers both with 2.

Team	Run 1	Run 2	Run 3	Run 4	Run 5	Run 6	Total
Reserve Bank Magic Milers	9	6					15
Telstra Tornados	5	4					9
