CREATE A TEAM

The Team Captain first creates the team and pays the registrations fees. The Captain is responsible for the full payment and the team can talk amongst themselves to square up payment with each other, please don’t ask us for help on this part of the fun!

During registration, pick your wave based on overall average team pace, use our spreadsheet calculator highlighted BELOW under WAVE TIMES to help you choose.

After registration, the Captain will invite Team members to join, this is a good time to ask your runner for the funds.

We distribute teams evenly across wave starts by estimated pace in order to minimize the congestion of support vehicles at the upper exchanges.  


Here is a spreadsheet to help you. Insert your team start time and expected pace of each runner. It will calculate the expected arrival time of each runner and your average team pace. Please estimate the average pace of your team as accurately as possible. Print out a copy for use during the race and enter your actual arrival times as they occur. It will help you arrive in time for each exchange.
*Runners will not be eligible for awards if they start in a different wave time than they are registered for. 

The finish line opens at 2:00 PM.
Any team who arrive at the finish line before 2:00 PM will be disqualified
We appreciate compliance so we can reserve the earlier waves for teams that need more time to complete the relay.
We will not offer support or be set up for teams out running the course and will stop teams at exchanges.
