How Relay Registration Works

One captain. One team registration. Up to five teammates.

•
Your team captain registers and pays the full team entry fee.

•
The captain creates a team name and invites teammates to join.

•
Teammates complete their own registration at no additional race entry cost. They can reimburse their captain separately.

You don't need five different runners to participate. Teams of 2–5 are welcome!
