Team Registration - Grow Your Give
Starting or joining a Heart & Lung Run Team is a great way to give even more support. As a team, you can choose to raise additional funds (see fundraising ideas at fmchealth.org/ foundation/fundraising-events/heart-and-lung-run/) and/or invite your friends, family, neighbors and friends of friends to join your team. The team with the most fundraising dollars (team entry fees + donations) will get to choose a participant to sound the horn at the start of the race. Teams will also be featured on our FMC Foundation event website and on social media.
Teams are also encouraged to stand out from the other race participants. Start planning now! Remember that you will already by receiving shirts with early sign-ups. Other ideas for team wear include adding hats, tutus, ribbons, buttons, fun socks, leis, etc. Get creative and have fun! Team pictures will be taken the morning of the race.
How to Start or Join a Team
The person who starts a team will be that team's captain. Captains will be responsible for managing the team's roster, communication regarding team activities (fundraising, dress day of event, etc.), picking up and distributing packets for team members, meeting locations and organizing team signage on the morning of the race. Captains can manage their team roster through their account on Run Signup. To join a team, you will need the name of your captain and the team you are joining.
BUILDING TEAM SPIRIT:
- Create your own team name that signifies your spirit and unique qualities.
- Organize your team dress code to stand out from the other runners.
- Make posters, banners or flags to carry on race day.
- Take a team photo on race day in the Team Photo Area.
- Plan a post-race party to celebrate your accomplishments!
- Promote friendly competitions between different teams.
