If you have more than 7 people that would like to compete in the Corporate Cup, you will have to create multiple teams or enter each additional person as an individual, as teams cannot exceed the 7 person limit. To be able to achieve maximum points in a team, you need a minimum of 5 people, so if you have 10 people who want to participate, we suggest 2 teams of 5 people.
Absolutely, we encourage multiple teams from companies to create internal rivalry and encourage participation. We have a ‘My Organisation’ function which creates leader boards just for your company so you can easily monitor fellow colleagues for friendly internal competition. This is what the Corporate Cup is all about it.
Yes and no.
No for set locations (CBD, Mawson Lakes & Semaphore) – each team can only be registered for 1 location. The options are: CBD, Mawson Lakes, Semaphore OR KM Tracker (online/virtual).
Yes if whole team is in the KM Tracker category (online/virtual) only – in this category, you can have people from various locations across Australia e.g. you can register multiple teams across your company, and monitor progress to encourage rivalry, but your team bag and shirts will only be sent to 1 location.
No, if you are participating in the fastest team category, all team members need to have the same distance as winners are based on the team’s average time.
Yes, team members can do different distances if you register for the most improved category. This is because winners are based on highest points. When you register in most improved, select the distance ‘Mixed Cup’ which will allow you to choose any of the distances available at that location.
Yes, absolutely! With the KM tracker you can participate from anywhere at any time. A small additional postage fee may be required for team bag delivery to some regional locations.
No, each team can only register for 1 location/category, so KM Tracker or CBD, Mawson Lakes or Semaphore. As a KM Tracker participant, you can attend an onsite location and time yourself along the course and then upload your KMs online, however, you don’t receive a timing card or timed result from us. If you are wanting to participate as a timed walker/runner at an onsite location in addition to KM Tracker, you will need to have 2 registrations.
Once you register your team, you will have the option to pay with credit card via our secure payment system (eWay). A tax invoice is also automatically emailed to you so you can pay by bank transfer or credit card over the phone (call 08 8363 5700).
You need to log in with the email address your team captain registered you with. You do not need to create a profile as one was automatically created when you were registered. If you haven’t logged in yet, click the ‘Log in to your profile’ button above, then click ‘Login’ and ‘Trouble signing in?’ to generate a password. This automatic email may end up in your junk folder.
Registrations withdrawn after Monday 8th July 2024 will incur a $50 cancellation fee for team registrations or $15 cancellation fee for individual registrations. Registrations withdrawn after the event has commenced will be charged 50% of the total registration fee.
We will notify team captains when team race bags are ready to be collected from the Corporate Cup office, and provide details on how to collect them. Please note the collection point is in Glynde.
Please contact us before sending a courier. We are located in Glynde and our phone number is 08 8363 5700. Please ask them to quote your organisation AND team number(s) upon arrival. Alternatively we do offer deliver for $20 per team.
Entries close for the city event at 12pm Tuesday, 6 August 2024 and Regions on Tuesday, 13 August 2024. This deadline enables us to organise race bags, timing tags and t-shirts in time for your first run/walk.
KM Tracker Category
You can still participate here but you need to record your own run/walk and upload it to the portal. You will not receive a timing card as the KM Tracker category is to complete as many KMs as possible, compared to the locations which are timed runs to improve or be the fastest.
Corporate Cup’s KM Tracker category is a flexible version where runners and walkers aim to build up as many km’s as possible in the fortnightly rounds! You may choose to run once a fortnight as usual or you can choose to incorporate additional runs in the fortnight, it’s up to you.
Anytime between the 6 fortnightly rounds starting 7th August 2024, day or night!
Anywhere you like! You are not required to be onsite for this category and can build up kms wherever it is most convenient for you.
Each round, there are 3 target categories: Bronze, Silver and Gold. Teams are to work together to try and reach the minimum kms to reach their desired target category. Individuals may also try and reach the minimum kms of each category. Each round the minimum kms change for each category. Bronze is the lowest category, Silver is the second highest and Gold as the highest km category. Targets will be posted to the KM Tracker page of the website and will be viewable each round on your profile. The team with the most kms accumulated at the end of Corporate Cup will win the KM Tracker perpetual trophy.
Each round, the bronze, silver and gold targets will change. These have been set based on the previous years results and you will be able to find them in the email you receive at the start of each round.
As you can only enter 1 time per day, if you re-upload your activity for that day, it will override the original entry.
You can only enter 1 activity per day, so add up the distances for that day and submit the total kms. As the system only allows you to add one screenshot with each upload, choose your longest walk/run for that day and use that one. We may ask you to verify the full distance via email so be sure to keep all screenshots.
The leader boards refresh once a day (approx.10am) due to the amount of data it has to update. Check back in 24 hours and it will be updated.
Yes – it would be great to see you onsite! However, you will still need to record your own walk/run as you don’t have a timing card. Check the website for dates we are onsite in the CBD and Mawson Lakes.
No – the activity must have a start and finish time, which you need to track via GPS.
No – Corporate Cup must be completed outside, unless you have a medical condition that prevents this.
No – you must complete the KMs on foot. You can run, jog, walk or skip!
Yes – as long as you can wear your GPS tracking device (e.g. watch, Fitbit, Garmin) and you are running or walking, you can use these KMs.
Check out the Competitions page on our website. This year, there are 2 sub-categories to KM Tracker – work team and social/running group team. This gives everyone a better chance of winning.
If you have multiple teams from your organisation, you can monitor progress easily through the ‘My Organisation’ leader boards, so why not develop your own company prize/incentives to encourage participation and rivalry. Of course, all of our participants are winners as you are improving your own physical activity and wellbeing on every run/walk.
SAFETY
Please ensure you are wearing comfortable exercise clothing and a pair of quality running or walking shoes. Remember to dress according to the weather (i.e. hat and sunscreen or rain jacket etc.)
First aid will be provided at busy times at our CBD and Mawson Lakes locations. At other times, a basic first aid kit, ice and bags are kept onsite. If there are any incidents while you are participating around the course, there is an emergency contact number on your timing card or let a passing participant know to contact first aid at the start line.
Each team race bag has a pocket first aid kit. If you participate in Semaphore, we recommend leaving this in your car and taking it onsite with you.
Information is collected by ACHPER SA (Event Owners & Manager), and will be stored on a Corporate Cup database. Your name and team will be displayed in the results area which is only seen by other participants. Your name and/or team name may be shared on social media if you are on a leader board, but you have the option of opting out of your information being shown when you register. You can obtain further information by contacting ACHPER SA.
Participating in the Corporate Cup
Due to safety reasons you cannot participate in the event for somebody else nor can somebody else participate in the event for you. If you have more than 5 people in your team, missing a run will not affect your score as long as there are at least 5 team members that participate (only the top 5 people count towards your team score each round).
If you are registered for the Most Improved or Fastest Category, you run on the dates specified in the Locations tab. If you are registered for the KM Tracker Category you may begin accumulating your kilometres on Wednesday 7th August.
Yes, you can! It is best to change your distance before the Corporate Cup has started (email hello@thecorporatecup.com.au). If the rounds have begun, there are some circumstances to consider before doing so:
- If you are registered for a shorter distance (i.e. 2.2km) but have been running a longer distance (i.e. 4.5km) and want to keep running the 4.5km, then the process is simple and can be changed easily.
- If you are registered for a longer distance (i.e. 7.2km) and have been running at this distance but would like to change to a shorter distance (i.e. 4.5km), your previous times will be deleted.
You will essentially be noted as a DNF (Did Not Finish, 00.00). This means you will receive attendance points, but no base time. Your base time will then be established the next time you run. The reasoning behind this is that, if you were running the 4.5km instead of the 7.2km, your base time from completing 4.5km would be too quick to complete 7.2km, and not allow you to receive maximum points on your future runs. If you have competed at the wrong distance or wish to change, we request that participants contact us as soon as possible so it can be corrected. Please email: hello@thecorporatecup.com.au.
Adelaide CBD: 6am-6pm
Mawson Lakes: 6.30am-1.30pm
Semaphore: Anytime on the set days
KM Tracker: N/A – anywhere, any time that is convenient for you
See the Locations tab for more information including days.
City Event: 6.00pm is the last time you can start your run or walk from Karrawirra, Adelaide (Victoria Drive, next to Lounders Boatshed Cafe).
Mawson Lakes 1.30pm is the last time you can start your run or walk.
If you are competing in Most Improved in Semaphore, you may start your run at any time as long as it is on the day indicated in the locations tab.
All participants registered for the Most Improved or Fastest categories in the Adelaide CBD or Mawson Lakes must have a timing card. All other locations and categories must use a GPS running app.
Note: If you are in the Most Improved or Fastest Category you MUST stick to the location and course you are registered into.
Ask one of the staff onsite to assign you a temporary timing card (Adelaide CBD and Mawson Lakes only).
No, but we see lots of teams enjoying each other’s company during the Corporate Cup each year!
Team members may only participate at different regions if the team has registered for the KM Tracker Category.
If you miss a week it will only affect your personal result. Please do not run with someone else’s card as this will not reflect their true time and does not help them in future runs.
Please see the Locations tab for parking options.
In the Adelaide CBD and Mawson Lakes, a keys box and baggage marquee will be available. Please note these are not supervised and you leave your belongings at your own risk. We highly recommended not bringing any belongings with you to the sites. As for your keys, we suggest bringing your car key only and storing it in your ID card lanyard, wearing a bum bag or wearing some shorts that have a zip pocket.
Yes, toilets are open during all hours of the CBD and Mawson Lakes onsite locations.
Do not hesitate to email hello@thecorporatecup.com.au or give us a call at the Corporate Cup office on 08 8363 5700.

You can view previous years’ leaderboards by selecting the year when you are viewing leaderboards.
You need to log in with the email address your team captain registered you with. You do not need to create a profile as one was automatically created when you were registered. If you haven’t logged in yet, click the ‘Log in to your profile’ button above, then click ‘Login’ and ‘Trouble signing in?’ to generate a password. This automatic email may end up in your junk folder.
You can reset your own password by clicking the ‘Login’ button then ‘Trouble signing in?’ to generate a new password. This automatic email may end up in your junk folder. Alternatively, contact us at hello@thecorporatecup.com.au or call us on (08) 8363 5700 to receive a new password.
Teams consist of 5 to 7 participants and each participant will receive a score between 5 and 40 each run. Team points for the round are calculated by adding the 5 best individual scores together. The 5 highest total points from these rounds are then used to determine your final score. For more detailed information, visit the competitions page.
There are no points tallied for the fastest category. Instead, each round, an average time is calculated from the fastest 5 participants in your team. Your final time for the program will be calculated by the total average times of your best 5 rounds. For more detailed information, visit the competitions page.
There are no points tallied for the KM Tracker. Instead, your aim is to accumulate as many kilometres as possible throughout the program. For each round, the top 5 team members’ kms are totalled for your weekly score. Your final distance/overall score is the total kms from all 7 rounds. For more detailed information, visit the competitions page.
No, we cannot take emailed or phoned in times. If you are a CBD or Mawson Lakes participant, you must check your time on the laptop before you leave the site – it is your responsibility to ensure your time has been recorded. If you do not have your card on the day, notify a staff member so that we can issue you a temporary timing card. If you are participating virtually (KM tracker or Semaphore), you need to record your times/distances via the results portal before the cut-off time.
The final results are made up of your 5 best rounds, so you can miss 2 rounds and still achieve maximum points.
To be eligible in the Fastest Runner categories, you must complete 6 out of the 7 runs to qualify. An average is then calculated from your best 6 runs. This differs to individual points, whereby you must complete 6 out of the 7 runs to qualify. An average is then calculated from your best 5 runs, not including the first week.
We are looking forward to the 2024 Corporate Cup and cannot wait for your involvement. Registrations are still open – event begins August 7!
