2024 NMSU Gratitude Walk/Run

5K Teams

Participating in a 5K event with a team brings an additional layer of fun to the experience. Plus, teams will receive a $5 per team member registration discount!

Team guidelines

  • Teams require a minimum of four participants. The maximum number of participants per team is 15.
  • The deadline to create/join a team is Friday, September 13 at 11:59 p.m.
  • Teams do not apply to the 1-mile fun run, only the 5K event.
  • To receive the $5 per team member discount, the Team Captain must complete registration forms for at least four team members, including themselves. Additional team members joining the team afterward will automatically receive the $5 per team member discount at checkout.
  • If you are joining an existing team, you must indicate this on your registration form in order to receive the $5 discount. A refund and/or partial refund will not be given to those who want to join a team after they register.

Before creating a new team, visit the View teams tab to ensure your team has not yet been created.
