Important Information for Corporate Registrations
In an effort to simplify the registration process for company employees, we have redesigned the registration page. If the company is paying for its employees' registrations and you would like to make only one payment either by check or by credit card for all registrations, please contact Bertha Lanthier @ blanthier54@aol.com to receive a Coupon Code to be used to track the registrations. The company will then be sent an invoice to cover all the registrations used by the Coupon Code.

Chip Timing
Race bibs with timing chips will be REQUIRED for scoring. In other words, if all members of a team do not have bibs, then the member without a bib will not be scored for the team. Bibs will be assigned to all registered runners. Bibs are found in the race packets, which can be picked up the Friday at packet pickup before race day.
Participation is not limited to competitors only; many companies have on-site tent locations for their employees, business associates, family and friends to be a part of the community-driven event.
YMCA Corporate Cup T-shirts are optional with registration. Registrations made after 3.15.2025 will not have a t-shirt option.
