Series 107 Run 1 – 21 August 2024 – Run No. 637
GENERAL BUSINESS
Firstly, I would like to introduce three new teams to the community, the 5 Minnett KMs, the State Library Speed Readers and the TAL Trailblazers. The Corporate Cup welcomes these teams to the competition.
There has also been a name change with DEITies now being Policy on the Run.
Secondly, for those that were having issues accessing the Corporate Cup website, new security certificates have been installed and the website should be viewable from corporate computers. A big thank you to Champ for all his efforts.
SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
Conditions were warm and dry for the first run of the series, hopefully an indicator for things to come. We had a respectable turnout for run 1, with more runners than for any run in series 106. Three teams broke the 100-point mark, and the total points scored in run 1 was 2,070.
