RACE DAY

Q: What do I wear on Race Day?

Most importantly good running shoes, even if you’re walking! Choose comfortable shirts, shorts, and socks. If you are a member of Inspire Church, wear your IC gear to represent! If you are running/walking at night we suggest bright colors and reflective materials. Check your local weather report daily and choose the best time to get outside on any of the 3 race days. You can always run on the treadmill as well!

TEAMS

Q: How do I form a team?

You can create a team very easily on the main registration page or GO HERE! By creating the team, you become the team captain. If you are participating in the race you must register yourself as well.

Q: Do I have to be a Member of a Team to run?

NO! Although we encourage you to form a team because everything is more fun when you do it together, you are not required to be on a team to participate. 

Q: What constitutes a team?

Minimum 3 people. Co-Ed Teams must have at least 1 member of the opposite sex.

TEAM CAPTAIN

Q: What does it mean to become the team captain?

As team captain, you will create a team for your group and will need to know some basic information like the address, phone number and email addresses. When setting up the team you will be the financial representative of your group. You can always set up the team for members to each pay for themselves. We also ask that you know some basics about the race like date, time, and location all found on the website and how to register in case any of your team members might need some assistance. 

Q: Does my team need to wear the same color on race day?

We highly recommend team spirit by wearing team colors or dressing up! However, you do not need to physically be together and run the race together to be considered a team. 

FUNDRAISING

Q: Why is there a $50 fundraising goal for each participant?

While this goal is certainly not a requirement to participate, we know that together we can accomplish so much more than we could on our own, so we encourage each person to get their friends and family involved for a cause that everyone can support. 

Q: How do my friends and family sponsor me in my $50 goal?

When you register as a participant, you will be given a unique fundraising link. You can send that link to all of your friends and family through email, text messages or social media. We've provided you with a Fundraising Toolkit full of email templates, social media graphics and templates and more to make it super simple to reach your goal!

Your family and friends can also visit our main race page, HERE, and click on DONATE at the top. In the box labeled "Search Fundraisers," they will search for your name and be able to make a donation on your behalf. 

Q: Can I raise more than the $50 recommended sponsorship goal?

Absolutely! There is no limit to the amount you can fundraise!
