GENERAL BUSINESS
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
Legal Eagles 101
ANZ Incredibles 100
resulting in an initial top 3 of:
| Team | Run 1 | Run 2 | Run 3 | Run 4 | Run 5 | Run 6 | Total |
| State Treasury | 136 | 136 | |||||
| Reserve Bank Magic Milers | 130 | 130 | |||||
