5K Team Information
This year, we are offering a new team format for the Battlefield 5K. Like the saying goes, the more the merrier! Grab a group of family members, friends or co-workers to come join the fun. In addition to your individual entry into the 5K, participants can also create or join a team at no additional charge. Teams will consist of 4 individual runners in the 5K event. Categories include Corporate Coed, Community All Female, Community All Male or Community Coed. Each runner on the team will still race as an individual and be eligible for individual awards. Your team's four runners will have their individual times added together and scored for the team competition. Lowest times win!

· Men’s Team – 4 men
