5K Teams
Walking or running a 5K event with a team adds an extra element of enjoyment to the experience. Friends, family, coworkers and neighbors can join a team and motivate one another to cross the finish line, encouraging a sense of camaraderie and team achievement.
This year, teams will receive a $5 per team member registration discount. The discount only applies to teams of four or more members.
Team guidelines
- Teams do not apply to the 1-mile fun run, only the 5K event.
- Teams require a minimum of four participants. The maximum number of participants per team is 15.
- In order to receive the $5 per team member discount, one team member (the Team Captain) must complete registration forms for a minimum of four team members (including him/herself). Any additional members joining the team after the initial four members have been registered will automatically receive the $5 per team member discount at checkout.
- If you are joining an existing team, you must indicate so on your registration form. A refund and/or partial refund will not be given to those who want to join a team after registration.
Before creating a new team, visit the View teams tab to ensure your team has not yet been created.
