FORM A LIFE CHANGING TEAM AND SAVE!

Form a Life Changing Team of 5 or more runners/walkers and you can all SAVE $3 on your individual registrations.  Teams can be as large as you want.

It's simple to CREATE A TEAM when you register, give yourself a TEAM NAME (The funner the better!) and invite your friends, family, running buddies or co-workers to join your team. When they register (after you) they will be able to select your team from a list of existing teams.  On the team pricing the first 4 members of a team will pay full price. The 5th person joining and anyone joining the team thereafter will pay the current registration fee less $3.00. When the 5th person joins to fully consummate a 5 person team the first 4 registrants will each be refunded $3.00 on their credit card. Team members can be participating in any of our four events, the 8K, 4K, 1K Kids Dash or Virtual Runner/Walker. If you want to create a password to be shared and used when your team members join the team that is allowed but not required.  There will be no formal competition between the teams other than our recognizing the largest team, but this gives you a way to save and get your friends/family involved in this fun race.

Don't go it alone, FORM A LIFE CHANGING TEAM and save!
