Run as a Team!

Guidelines for Teams:

• Gather your team! Each team must have at least four males/females to participate in the team competition (four runners will score, the fifth and sixth runners will still be counted against the other teams' scores). 
• If your team has more than four runners, we will discuss putting together multiple teams with your team leaders beforehand.
• Decide on a team name (this will be needed when you register at https://runsignup.com/RaceGroups/118914)
• When you register for the event, type in your team name.

Already too late when you noticed this option? Email [email protected] with the team members and chosen name and we will create your team for you.
