FAQ
How does team scoring work?
It is cross-country style scoring: your first 5 finishers across the line earn points. The 3 teams with the lowest total score win medals for that race distance.
Do all team members get a medal on the podium?
Yes. Every runner on the top 3 teams receives a special team competition medal.
Can our large running club enter more than one team?
Absolutely. As long as each team name is unique and capped at 10 members, you can register as many teams as you want. Example: MyClub-1, MyClub-2, MyClub-3.
Can I join a team after I already registered?
Yes. You can add yourself to a team anytime before race day, as long as it has not reached the 10-person limit.
What if I also podium in my age group?
Then it is your lucky day. You will take home both your age-group award and your team competition medal.
Does everyone on the team have to run the same distance?
Yes. There is a separate team competition for each distance, so all members chasing the team medal must run the same race distance. A large club can field a Half Marathon team, a 10K team, and a 5K team — each eligible to win.
