How to purchase entries and get organized!
HR DIRECTORS – You can buy multiple registrations all at once for your employees and teams. And, if your school has FOUR or more relay teams, you can have a party at the Finish Line – information will be emailed to team captains of qualifying teams in late April or early May.
TEAM CAPTAINS – You can register your team, and enter the runners’ names later! Your 5-person team can be coed, male, or female and all from the same school.
