Teams

You do not have to be in a team, but being part of one is fun and makes the race more interesting and enjoyable. You can enter as a member of an OPEN TEAM (any sex and age) in the 8k run, 4k run or 4k walk, or in a PRIMARY SCHOOl or HIGH SCHOOL team (both “students only”).

There must be at least 3 people in each team. Results are determined by the sum of the times for the 3 fastest team members.  Every team must have an agreed Team Name and a designated Team Leader.

It is quite easy to register a team and enter as a team member.  Click here for info on entering a team.

The online entry system allows each team member to enter and pay the registration fee separately.  It also enables more than one person to be registered under a single credit card payment –  so you can register all or part of your team in one transaction.

 

SPECIAL CASH PRIZES FOR THE WINNING SCHOOLS TEAMS

We offer a special cash prize to the school(s) with the winning team in each of the two school 4k run categories – Primary School and High School.

The prizes are for the school itself (e.g. the P&C Association), and not for the individual members of the winning teams.  The amount of the prize is calculated as the sum of $20 per team member.

The entry fee is $18 for students who are under 16 on race day and $35 for those 16 or older.  If the winning school team is comprised of 50 students, the total prize would be a total of $1,000 for the school.

We recommend schools register your team via the registration system here, and then provide your students with the details to join the team.  You can find details on how to do that here.
