If you are registered for the Most Improved or Fastest Category, you must start your fortnightly runs from the date specified in the Locations tab. If you are registered for the KM Tracker Category you may begin accumulating your kilometres on Wednesday 5 August.

You do not need to use a timing card in 2020. Participants in all categories can choose to track their run using a GPS running app.

Note: If you are in the Most Improved or Fastest Category you MUST stick to the location and course you register with.

The flexibility of this year’s Corporate Cup means that you can complete your run whenever you like using our Mobile Start Points and a GPS Running App. However, staff will be on site at 4 locations for 7 fortnights for those who choose to use a timing card:

City: 6am – 6pm
Mawson Lakes: 6.30am – 1.30pm
Glenelg and Semaphore: 11am – 1.30pm

City Event: 6.00pm is the last time you can start your run or walk from Pinky Flat, North Adelaide.

Regional Events: 1.30pm is the last time you can start your run or walk for all regions.

You can either choose to download a GPS running app to record your time or staff will assist you in recording your time manually.

No. In fact we encourage team members to avoid running in groups to allow for social distancing. We recommend running in pairs while keeping a 1.5m distance.

Team members may only race at different regions if the team has registered for the KM Tracker Category.

Yes, you can! However, there are some circumstances to consider before doing so:

1. If you are registered for a shorter distance (i.e. 2.75km) 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.

2. 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 reason why this happens is because if you were running the 4.5km instead of the 7.2km, for example, your base time would be much too fast because you would be finishing earlier due to the shorter course.

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: rosa-lee@enventive.com.au.

No, we cannot take emailed or phoned in times.

If you forget or do not have your card on the day, you can download a GPS running app to record your time. Otherwise, you must notify a Corporate Cup staff member so that we can manually record your time.

Due to safety reasons you cannot participate in the event for somebody else nor can somebody else participate in the event for you.

Please see the Locations tab for parking options.

This year the Corporate Cup will be a contactless event. In the interest of our participants and staff we will no longer have a place to hold bags/keys. This is due to the high risk of physical contact that is involved with these areas of the event.

We suggest leaving your bag at your office. As for your keys, we suggest bringing your car key only and storing it in your ID card lanyard, using a bum bag or wearing some shorts that have a zip pocket.

Entries close for the city event at 12pm Tuesday, 4 August 2020 and Regions on Monday, 10 August 2020. This deadline enables us to organise race bags, timing tags and t-shirts in time for your first run/walk.

We will send your timing tags through the post (please let us know if you have multiple teams so that we can send them out all together)

Early birds who have opted in for a free t-shirt will be able to pick up their shirts from Corporate Cup HQ (158 Payneham Road, Evandale) prior to the event – time TBA.

Please contact us before sending a courier.

We are located at 158 Payneham Rd, Evandale and our phone number is 8362 2150. Please ask them to quote your team number and your race region upon arrival.

Teams consist of 5 to 7 participants and team points are scored by adding the 5 best individual scores together each fortnight. The 5 highest team points from these runs are then used to determine your final score.

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.

It will only affect your personal result assuming 5 other members in your team have competed, and then the overall team tally will not be affected.

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.

Go the to Results page (where you can also view previous years results) once the program has finished. You can also print out your Certificate of Merit from the Results page.

A replacement tag can be ordered and sent out to you for $5. Please email rosa-lee@enventive.com.au to place an order.

Do not hesitate to email rosa-lee@enventive.com.au or give us a call at the Corporate Cup office on 08 8362 2156.

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.)
