The Site
The start and finish line is located on the corner of Mawson Lakes Boulevard and Main St (opposite Relish on Main) – same location as previous years.
While onsite please ensure that you:
- Have your timing card ready to go (if you forget your card, we will have temporary ones available but these must be returned after your participation on the day).
- Know what distance you have been registered into and check the course maps before you hit the start line. 2.25km is one lap of the lake and 4.5km is two laps.
- Make sure your card scans when starting and finishing – your name will appear on the screen once your card has been read. Your card cannot be in your phone case when starting/finishing.
- Once you have completed your walk/run, head to the marquee to check your time has recorded correctly on the screen – if required, we are able to amend times whilst you are still onsite but cannot once the timing system is packed up. It is your responsibility to ensure your time has been recorded.
- Grab a drink and cool down before making your way off site – free water and juice is available thanks to Nippy’s.
Know your distance before you start
Please ensure you know your distance, and that your team captain has entered your distance correctly, before the first day. To check your distance, simply log into the Corporate Cup portal and your distance will be listed on the dashboard under ‘My 2024 team’. To log in, you do not need to create an account as it is automatically created when you are registered into a team – however, you must use the email address your team captain registered you with.
If this needs changing, email hello@thecorporatecup.com.au your team number, name and preferred distance as we can change it for you. Doing this before Round 1 will ensure your points and leader board position are calculated correctly.
If you have any questions on the day, please see one of our friendly staff members who will assist you onsite. Have a great Corporate Cup!

Please do not:
- Scan multiple cards
- Scan your card at the same time as someone else

To finish, scan your card at the same timing box, ensuring your name displays again, then head to the admin desk to check your time on the laptop. We can amend times on the day, but not after the event. It is your responsibility to ensure your time has been recorded.
Lost your timing card?
If you have lost your card, you can purchase a new card for $5. Please talk to staff onsite or email hello@thecorporatecup.com.au to order a new one. If you do not have your card, a temporary card can be issued for use on the day, but it must be returned after your walk/run as they reset after each round.
FAQs
What refreshments will you have available?
There will be water as well as and Nippy’s Juice available.
Where can I put my belongings while I walk/run?
We encourage you to leave your belongings in your car/at work where possible. We will have a keys box and you can leave your bag with us, but you leave your items at your own risk.
What if I injure myself?
First aid will be available under the marquee. Please walk/run to the conditions (i.e. slower if raining) and at your own pace – take Round 1 easy if you haven’t been doing much physical activity. Our number (8363 5700) is listed on your timing card which you can call in an emergency i.e. you have injured yourself on the course and cannot make it back to the start/finish line. Please take care at all times.
What if I cannot make it onsite?
Although you cannot make up a time, you won’t affect your team’s time/points if there are more than 5 participants in the team. Please do not run with someone else’s card as this will not reflect their true time and does not help them in future rounds.
