REGISTERING A TEAM

You can create a team during the online event registration process. Please note, if you are the person who creates the team you will be designated as the team captain. Once a team has been created other participants have the option to join the team during the event registration process.

If you don’t wish to create a team or can’t find the team your looking for when you register, remember you can always log into the ‘My Events Portal‘ after you have registered and either create a new team or join an existing one!

You can organise a Team in any event however only teams in the Marathon, Half Marathon and 14km Events are eligible for Team prizes. Competitive teams must have a minimum of five (5) competitors running in the same distance event. The fastest five times from each team will be combined to produce a team finishing time. The fastest time in each category will be awarded the team trophy.

Remember – if at any point you need further help, don’t hesitate to contact us.
