2009 RESULTS
Congratulations to Banana Apple Crumble from Flamin' Phoenix Explorers who walked away with the 1st place prizes and trophy. They won with a score of 1014 out of a possible 1300 points.  2nd place was won by Solar Powered Super Pigeons(8th Holborn) and 3rd to Lynx Pocket Pulling Power ( Lynx Explorers) from Enfield.
It was a long day and all but one Explorer team managed to get back before the 18:30 deadline (despite severe delays on the Piccadilly line). During the evening the winners were awarded with the new Monopoly Trophy and other prizes including a Monopoly board game and individual cups.

Getting all the photo's and answers checked in a short period of time is very challenging. Now that I have had time to go through all the photos and answers again there have been slight adjustments to the scores. This doesn't affect the overall winning positions, but does change the positions of some of the mid table teams. Its interesting to note that if Team 1 who finished 7th hadn't missed taking a picture at 'GO' they would actually have won (worth £200)...and another team who if they had worn their scarves would have finished 2nd!

The presentation show is available on this YouTube link

We also experimented with running a leader competition - for Explorer-less Leaders with nothing better to do. This was a success (even if one of the teams was 2 hours late) so we will probably run a separate competition next year, with the pre-requisite that Leaders must have an Explorer team entered. 

Thanks to everyone who helped to make it an enjoyable day. Any feedback would be appreciated and we look forward to seeing you for Monopoly Run 2010. If you have any questions or queries please contact the organisers via email at mike@monopolyrun.org or fiona@monopolyrun.org.

I will be adding the photos at some points over the next few weeks, so please come back and check later.
