Series 110 run 4 newsletter

Series #110 – Run 4 – 1 October 2025 – Run No. 658

GENERAL BUSINESS
Just a couple of general reminders to keep in mind.

  1. Running on the Road

Running on the road is only permitted crossing the small side road immediately beyond the expressway bridge. At all other points, running on the road is expressly prohibited. Should you encounter congestion on the footpath, please reduce your pace and pass safely; do not use the road as an alternative route. Adherence to this guideline is required as part of our agreement with the RBG, and any violation may jeopardise the continuation of our event.

  1. Hazardous Areas on the Course

When returning around Mrs Macquarie’s Point, please be aware of a tree root that has slightly raised the tarmac, creating a potential trip hazard. While many runners proceed without incident, there have been reports of stumbles and occasional falls, so extra caution is advised.

Additionally, exercise care on the steps descending from the middle path to Mrs Macquarie’s Point. These steps vary in tread and depth, and there have been serious falls in previous series. Please navigate these areas with particular attention.

SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY

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

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.
