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 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.

GENERAL BUSINESS
Two teams have sadly dropped out of the Corporate Cup for series 111: IA Running Capacity and Liberty Legends, although Liberty Legends do hope to be back for series 112.  There are currently no teams on the waiting list ready to come in, so the series will run with 42 teams rather than 44.

A special mention also for Ross Williams of Australian Museum Runosaurs, who reached the huge milestone of 450 runs in run 1.  Ross started his Corporate Cup career way back in series 3 and is the 19^th person to reach this milestone.

SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
It was quite warm for running, although there was a nice cool breeze blowing here and there.  Only four teams broke the 100 point mark, led by Reserve Bank Magic Milers with 133.  They were followed by Reserve Bank Midday Milers on 120, with the two Macquarie teams also breaking 100.  The total points scored in run 1 was 2,027.

Team	Run 1	Run 2	Run 3	Run 4	Run 5	Run 6	Total
Reserve Bank Magic Milers	133						133
Reserve Bank Midday Milers	120						120
Macquarie Generals	117						117

RABOBANK KNOCKOUT TROPHY
The knockout section of the draw saw some close matches, with Commonwealth Bank Harriers 1 edging TAL Trailblazers 31-29, Awesome Midday Pacers beating NRF Road Warriors 36-31 and State Audit beating CFS Cruisers 28-22, while Deloitte Merger Milers were the lowest scoring team to progress in this section, beating PWC Fasttrack 20-10.

Meanwhile in the repechage section, the vagaries of the draw mean that The Running Walkers and King & Wood Mallesons, who played each other and both go through, will meet each other again in round 2. King & Wood Mallesons won in round 1 – can The Running Walkers turn the tables in round 2?

FASTEST TEAM COMPETITION
