  How Relay Registration Works   One captain. One team registration. Up to five teammates.

1. Your team captain registers and pays the full team entry fee.
2. The captain creates a team name and invites teammates to join.
3. Teammates complete their own registration at no additional race entry cost. They can reimburse their captain separately.

  You don't need five different runners to participate. Teams of 2–5 are welcome!
