Sunburst Races - South Bend

What exactly is a Corporate Team?

A Corporate Team is a group of people that want to run or walk as members of the same team. Corporate Teams can be created for businesses, churches, schools or community organizations. To create a team, there is no minimum or maximum number of participants. There is also no fee to create a team.  

Why create a Corporate Team?

Because walking/running with your co-workers and friends is a blast. Nothing beats that fun feeling of camaraderie, community and support – all while accomplishing a goal! It’s an awesome opportunity to make a lasting memory with your work besties. 

What benefits do Corporate Teams receive?

-Expedited Packet Up for Team Captains (must communicate this option prior to Packet Pickup)
-Access to the Corporate Tent/VIP Area with: 
-Tables and seating 

-Extra food  
-DJ/music

-Theragun Massagers 

-Photographer (with access to free downloadable photos post-race)
 

Please note: Due to ongoing supply chain issues, we are unable to offer customized race shirts with the logo printed on the sleeve as we have in the past. 

What is the cost per team member? 

Because of the extra benefits Corporate Team members receive, pricing is slightly higher than individual pricing. The events are priced as follows:

Half Marathon – $90
10K Run – $50
5K Run – $45
5K Fitness Walk – $40

Please note: Any registration discounts offered by Sunburst Races do not apply to Corporate Teams.  

Do all members of a team have to participate in the same event?

No, team members can participate in whatever event they choose. 

How is race information shared with team members? 

Each team needs to have a main contact, commonly referred to as the Team Captain. Captains are the ones that typically create the online team, assist with team member registration and questions, and share information from Sunburst Races.

How do I set up a team? 

To create your team, visit Run Sign Up here and follow the prompts provided.

When creating your team, you will have an opportunity to customize your team options. You’ll also want to create a code/password to share with those allowed to join your team. A code prevents someone not associated with your team from joining. 

As the team captain, how do I see a roster of team members?

Once you’ve created the team, you’ll have access to manage it. You’ll be able to pull a list of team members, edit your settings, etc.  

Does the team pay all member registration fees?

That’s up to each individual team. In the “Event Costs” section, you can enter the percentage of the registration fee that the team will pay for members. Enter in a zero (“0”) if the member will be paying the entire amount needed for registration, enter in one hundred (“100”) if the team will be covering the entire cost of the member’s registration, or enter in any other number to cover that percentage of the member’s registration.

If our company/organization wants to pay either a portion or all of our team member registration fees, when/how do we do that? 

If you choose to pay a portion of all of the registration fees for your team members, you will receive an invoice (via email) after Corporate Team registration closes on 5/14/23. The invoice can be paid online by credit card or you can mail a check for payment. 

What if family members of our company/organization want to join?

When the team is created, you will have an opportunity to select whether or not family members or even friends are allowed to join your team. If you check the box allowing family members or friends to join, then you can set the maximum number of additional registrants an employee can register for your team. 

Is there a deadline to register? 

Yes, all Corporate Team members must be registered by Sunday, May 14, 2023 at 11:59 pm EST. No additional team members can be added after the deadline – no exceptions.  

What if one of our employees is already registered for the race as an individual participant, can he/she still join our team? 

Yes, as long as the individual has permission to join the team (from the team captain), send an email to: sunburst@beaconhealthsytem.org and we’ll get you taken care of.

What if I need additional information or have a question that wasn’t answered here?
