Once the sixth person joins your group, the previous five adults will be issued a $5 refund. Team members six and beyond will be able to register at the discounted price once they join the group. While the discount doesn't apply to the youth registration rate, youngsters can still be part of your race team.

Corporate Teams are coordinated through a designated "captain" at your place of business, who compiles a list of registrants and makes a single payment for all registrations.
