KM TRACKER JOURNEY 2026
Welcome to the 2026 Corporate Cup KM Tracker challenge, lace up and log your kilometres on Australia’s ultimate coastal to outback challenge. Starting on the Sunshine Coast, tick off Brisbane and the famous Gold Coast before your virtual feet will carry you south through the surf towns of Byron Bay and Ballina, along the beaches of the NSW coast, past Sydney Harbour and into Canberra. From there, hug the wild Victorian coastline through Lakes Entrance, the Great Ocean Road’s Apollo Bay and Port Campbell, before crossing into South Australia for a stroll along the limestone coast. Around the 3,374km mark (almost the exact halfway point of your journey!), you’ll hit home turf, strolling into Adelaide itself, home of the Corporate Cup.
Then pushing on across the vast, shimmering Nullarbor, before the landscape shifts to WA’s goldfields around Kalgoorlie, then finally turns costal again through Perth’s beaches, Cervantes’ dunes and Geraldton, before your final steps land you in the turquoise waters of Kalbarri. That’s 6,792km of sand, surf, salt lakes and red dirt. Every step you take for the Corporate Cup KM Tracker brings you closer to the finish line of this epic Aussie Road trip. Goodluck for your 2026 Corporate Cup KM Tracker challenge, whether you complete 50km or 4,000km as a team, you are all winners.
TEAM BAGS
Team bags up to 900 are available for collection/ have been sent for delivery (unless your payment is outstanding).Check with your team captain to see if they have collected it already – they would’ve also received the email about collection options.
Any uncollected t-shirts in bags at the end of Round 1 will be redistributed, so please ensure a team member collects the bag if you want your t-shirt. We will be open for collections until 5pm, Monday August 3.
TRACKING KMs
KM Tracker is a category where runners and walkers aim to build up as many kms as possible during the rounds, anywhere and anytime you like! You may choose to run once a fortnight like the traditional Corporate Cup, or you can incorporate additional walks/runs – it’s up to you!
The KMs must have a start and finish point i.e. you cannot use the kms of your daily step count. KMs must also be tracked on foot – you cannot ride, scooter, rollerblade etc. Treadmills do not count unless you have a medical condition that prevents you from walking/running outside.
KM Tracker can be blended in with your current activity. For example, if you walk a dog, walk to work or umpire sport on the weekend, simply have your GPS device on you and track those KMs from start to finish of your activity!
Timing cards are not used for this category. Participants will need an app, smartwatch, Fitbit or Garmin to track your KMs while you are on your walk/run, then upload a screenshot to the Corporate Cup portal. There is no need to purchase an app, you can simply use free options such as Samsung Health app, Google Fit, MapMyWalk, MapMyRun or Strava. The app needs to be able to record the distance, time and route (with a visual map) of your walk or run
CORPORATE CUP PORTAL
The Corporate Cup portal is your one stop shop for uploading your KMs (more on this below), team results, leader boards and achievement tracking.
Click the button below and make sure you are able to log in prior to Round 1. You do not need to create a new account as it is automatically created when you were registered into a team – however, you must use the email address your team captain registered you with.
If you cannot remember your password from last year, or haven’t set one yet, click ‘login’ then ‘trouble signing in’ to reset your password – as it is an automatic email, it may pop up in your junk/spam folder. Some work emails do block these automatic emails, so call us on 8363 5700 if you can’t find the email after 1 hour.
HOW DO I UPLOAD MY KMs?
The ‘Upload KMs’ button will only show once the event has started (Wednesday).
- Log in to the Corporate Cup portal by visiting the Corporate Cup website or clicking here.
- Once you are in, click the ‘Upload KMs’ on the top menu bar.
- The details you will need to input are:
- Distance
- Date
- Duration of exercise in hours & minutes
- Upload evidence (i.e. screenshot of how you tracked your KMs – smartwatch, fitbit, phone app etc.)
- Click ‘Submit KMs Result’.
If you accidentally input the wrong distance (e.g. 52km instead of 5.2km), it’s as easy as resubmitting the upload for that day – you can only have one entry for each day so the new upload will override the original, incorrect one.
WHEN TO UPLOAD KMs
All participants will be given the ability to upload results from Wednesday August 5th.
We encourage you to upload your KMs from each day as you go e.g. that night or the day after your walk/run. Keep in mind that you can only upload one log per day, so if you do multiple walks/runs per day (e.g. morning, lunch and after work), you will need to add the total distances and times together and log them as one upload for that day – if you upload KMs for a date you have already logged, the new upload will override the original.
After the round is finished, you have until the end of that week to upload any KMs you may have forgotten. For example, Round 1 finishes at 11:59pm Tuesday 18th August, so you can upload any round 1 KMs until Sunday 23rd August. Once the round has closed, there is no way to upload KMs for that round. You will receive the round emails as a reminder.

FAQs
Can I participate at one of the Corporate Cup locations?
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. We have onsite locations in CBD and Mawson Lakes – check our website for the days and times we are there. Staff may ask you where your timing card is, but just let them know you are doing the KM Tracker category.

I accidentally uploaded the wrong distance – what do I do?
If you upload KMs for a date you have already submitted, it will override your previous entry. So, you just need to reupload the correct KMs for that date.
