Groups:
Running together has its perks! Gather your group of six or more and receive a $5 discount on each registration fee. Groups with six or more participants will receive a special shout out at the race! No need to gather the entire group before signing up – recruitment is open until online registration closes.
Once the sixth person joins your group, the previous five adults will be issued a $5 refund. Team members six and beyond will be able to register at the discounted price once they join the group. While the discount doesn't apply to the youth registration rate, youngsters can still be part of your race team.

Corporate Teams are coordinated by your designated “captain” who compiles a list of participants and submits a single payment for all registrations.
