Series #111 – Run 1 – 4 February 2026 – Run No. 661
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 19th 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.

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
