Who can be in a team?
Teams must include at least four mass event participants, and all team members must be employed by the same company. Where a company has more than four mass event participants, there is no need to split your company into teams before the event. The teams are worked out after you have completed the 5K course. The four fastest participants across the Finish Line from your company will be the first scoring team, the next four the second scoring team and so on. There are three team categories: male, female and mixed (comprising of at least two females).

All participants in the event must be employees of the companies that have entered, so members of your team must be colleagues at the same organisation. As this event is a corporate team challenge, we do not accept individual entries.
