TEAMS
THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT KINDS OF RACE TEAMS THIS YEAR!
A Competitive Race Team is a mixed team of men and women consisting of three to five persons. The times of the top three finishers will be calculated to determine the winning team. At least one scoring runner of each team must be of each sex (no all-men or all-woman teams).
A Social Race Team may have as many members as you want, so you encourage your friends to register for the race and walk together for fun.
Join or start a team during the registration process!
