TEAMS

Celebrate the season with friends by creating a team! It’s easy as pumpkin pie:
1) The first person to sign up creates the team.
2) That person is the designated team captain. They will enter a team name and then finish their own registration.
3) Then, they can share the team name and password so others can join!
The sweetest part? Each team member will save $5 on their registration!
The team captain does not have to sign everyone up. Rather, each team member can sign up and pay for their own registration, all while still receiving $5 off!
Easy peasy!
TOUGH PUMPKIN®

3.1 miles too easy? Looking to challenge yourself a little more? Add on the Tough Pumpkin option and we’ll supply you with a pumpkin to tag along during the 5K!
Here’s how it works:
