School Teams & Clubs
Through our School Team & Clubs program we offer special discounts or additional fundraising opportunities for local schools and triathlon/running clubs that want to register as a group. Not only will School Teams & Clubs receive special discounts but you will also be eligible to set up team tents at the event in the team tent area with a minimum number of registered participants.
There are many options available for team and club setup including the option for Team Captains to cover a portion or all of the registration fee for registered participants. Anyone can set up a School Team or Club, check out the RunSignUp TEAMS TUTORIALS and click on the Groups tab for more information.
To setup or join a School or Club Team simply go to the TEAMS & GROUPS page by clicking the button below, select "Create a Team" and from there you will be able to setup all the details for your team and you'll get a special link to share with all your members.
Team Types
There are two team types available for setup, School Teams and Clubs or Groups. In setup, there is no difference between the two team types. This is our way of separating the teams being setup by educational institutions and triathlon clubs.
Donation vs. Discounted Entry
There are two variations on each type of team available, donation or discounted entry. When setting up a team, team leaders/administrators must select which option they would like and no changes are allowed after the initial setup.
Discounted Entry - By selecting this team option all participants will receive a discount when registering (except during kickoff and early pricing periods). The discount will be automatically applied at checkout for the participants and their is no need to use a code. To be eligible for discounts team members must select your team when registering.
Donation - By selecting this team type you are forgoing the individual discounted entries and opting to receive a donation for 10% of the registration fees from all participants who register for your team. We'll reach out soon after the event to get details about where to send the donations, please allow up to 4-6 weeks after the event to receive donation checks/payments. To be eligible for donations team members must select your team when registering.
Team Competition
New this year, we’re excited to introduce a Team Competition at the Houston Kids Triathlon! Teams can be made up of athletes from schools, clubs, or groups of friends. Scoring will follow a cross country–style format, where the top 10 finishers from each team count toward the team’s score.
Here’s how it works:
-
Every athlete’s finishing place earns points (1st place = 1 point, 2nd place = 2 points, and so on).
-
A team’s score is the sum of its top 10 athletes’ places.
-
The team with the lowest overall score wins!
-
In the case of a tie, the team with the higher-placing 11th athlete will break the tie.
🏆 The winning team will be awarded the Traveling Team Cup ( trophy to be revealed soon), earning the right to display it proudly for a full year until next year’s race.
This competition is a great way to bring teammates together, build camaraderie, and celebrate both individual effort and team spirit. Whether your team is racing for fun, fitness, or to take home bragging rights, the Team Competition adds an exciting new dimension to race day.
Team Tents
All registered teams are eligible to set up a tent in the designated team tent area of the race site.
More details coming soon...
