GROUPS:

Running together has its perks! Gather your group of six or more and enjoy a $5 discount on each registration fee. Groups with six or more participants will receive a special shout out at the race! No need to gather the entire group before signing up recruitment is open until online registration closes.

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:

Interested in building a team at your workplace, school or organization? 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. Corporate teams will be acknowledged at the race, with a special prize for the team with the highest number of registrations. Please contact Events Coordinator Patti Hammond at [email protected] to create your corporate team.
