Beginning in 2013 we use the time of the top Corporate Cup finisher in each age bracket as the standard to score other Corporate Cup participants (not the time of the top age bracket winner in Bloomsday overall).
As in the past, the scoring system enables all ages, both male and female, to compete on the same basis. Bloomsday will record each runner's placing in the following age brackets:
| 18 |
19-22 |
23-29 |
30-34 |
| 35-39 |
40-44 |
45-49 |
50-54 |
| 55-59 |
60-64 |
65-69 |
70-79 |
| 80+ |
|
|

The Corporate Cup competition is scored by dividing each Corporate Cup runner's time by the time of the top Corporate Cup participant in his or her age bracket. For example, if the top Corporate Cup finisher in the age bracket had a time of 50 minutes, and your runner had a time of 60 minutes, your runner's score would be 833 points (50 divided by 60 - .83333, or 833 points). The three highest scores on each team are added together to determine the team score. The highest team score wins.
As noted above, for 2020 only the times of top Corporate Cup finishers in each bracket will be used for scoring purposes.
CORPORATE CUP WALKERS:
Please note: Bloomsday has discontinued the Corporate Cup Encore starting area that was in use for a number of years. If you or anyone on your team is planning to walk the course, please line up in the Blue or Lilac area. You can drop off your gear bag ahead of time at the Corporate Cup starting area, and retrieve it after the finish in the tent party area. Thank you!
